Hi everyone, am trying to figure it out something.

How will be the best way to make a wave that i can control the shape, like Surf Up.

I know that with particle fluids i can make waves, also with the wave tank or the beach tank. But i cant control the shape of the wave.

The reason that i want to control the shape is for the animators, they have to animate a surf guy riding the wave.

I play with the waveform, but i cant make the lip of the wave.

Thanks.

Thanks eetu i just take a look to the like you just post, it looks great!! I think it isn't finished, but after some research and due the time i have to do this shot, ill do it in a simple way, with particles, the animators will animate with the mesh i send it to them.
Thanks.
