Ocean Tools in Houdini 17 - Jeff Wagner - Houdini Hive - Paris (overview)

The ocean tools have changed substantially. These will be tested on the farm once the image is in place.

New Ocean Tools in Houdini 16 - Masterclass

The integration of a flip tank with the new ocean (large/small) is covered starting at timestamp 1:28:19
Be sure to have your flat tank bounding box large enough to avoid motion at the edges.

NOTE the ocean will not result in a watermarked render from the renderfarm as long as you output your displacement maps to exr rather than pic (tested in 15.0.244.16, to be tested in 15.5.565 once it is on the farm)

An ocean tool now exists inside houdini (HOT - Houdini Ocean Toolkit plugin had been used before this).

See my example files on the tips and tricks page.
