Thank you for your reply.
Inside of flattank_fluid_extended I try to export it with 16.0.554 and I get following warning:

Warning
Cook error in input: switch_bake_single.

Unticked Deform Input Geometry

I'll attach HIP file if needed.

Thanks

Hi.

Is it possible to save the displacement of the extended ocean and then apply it onto the mesh in another software package (like Maya + Arnold)?

I can see that displacement is being generated from spectrum and mask inside of the material…
But I'm wondering how it could be extracted and saved as Vector Displacement (EXR).


Kind regards
Chris

Hi… Thank you for reply…

Here is the .HIP file.
I had to replace the geometry (reason why there's no proper animation and camera).

From what I can see thickness should be calculated accordingly to the separation… or am I wrong?


Kind regards
Chris
