formzed Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Im trying to create water using the maxwell sea extension in FORMZ. Can anyone with experience help me out on this one? Is it the material? I'm using the rough sea that comes with renderzone. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setz Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Check if "Sea" is enabled in Fire Preferences and in FZ Display options for Maxwell Renderer. There are also 2 different places to set Vertical Scale in the Parameters for the Sea Object, one is under "Scale" and the other is under "Generate". If both of these have low (single digit) values then the waves may be unnoticeable. I think I can see waves in your post but they are very,very flat. The "Dimension" field also has a strong effect on wave height, Larger areas have larger waves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formzed Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Hi Setz, I have the set up you recommend. Still not seeing the "sea" the flat waves your seeing is generated by the FZ texture I assigned while placing the "sea" bounding box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formzed Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 to update on the topic. Its likely that the error is from the student edition FZ. I tried the same with the FZ 8.5 pro and it works perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pylon Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Hi formZed, Try copying the Maxwell plugin from your FZ 8.5 pro plugins folder to the student edition FZ plugins folder. (May be a version mis-match between the Maxwell plugin in your student edition and the Maxwell Render Suite. The extensions libraries are located in the Maxwell Render Suite, and must be compatible.)
