Water/Boat Motion

As I don’t have Max9 at home, Ive been unable to continue with modeling my head, or take screenshots to show my progress. So Ive been doing some tests on how to achieve certain effects that might come in handy when we begin the actual animation.

Water motion and material



The above video was achieved by applying animated Noise and Wave modifiers to a plane object.



Below is an image of how the water material was constructed.



The motion of the ship was achieved by inserting a Noise controller into the boats position and rotation list, within the Motion tab.
