Update render

I also have shaded the set so I will upload some lighting tests...
Please feel free to critique or comment.
Thanks

Here is another quick render test. The shader needs work, but I am happy I got the nice foam edge, I still need to add to it, so more to come.
Took some time to get a mesh that I feel is appropriate wrt the size of the set.

There is more foam to come...

very interesting shot and also very challenging because of the dragon heads, and simming wet sand erosion, cant wait to see some sims

Here is a new sim, playing with some values and it has a truck simmed in...

I want the truck to flop on its side, so I will need to re time that last emitter to fire off early.

Here is a new version.

The truck will be in the final shot, since there are quite a lot of particles; getting the motion and managing the timing just takes a while. I feel now I am at a good point to introduce the truck... so stay tuned.

Here is a small wip.

there is still some timing issues and finishing off the final 2 emitters

I like it, very calm and mellow feel. A few suggestions I can say: 1) how about rotating the cube so the wave breaks in a non uniform way? 2) adding a field or two to give some interesting motion 3) there seems to be an accumulation of the particles on top... maybe using the surface tension might he...

I made a small mock up of what I am planning on doing

link to the image because it doesn't show up properly on this page.
Any suggestions would really be helpful
Thanks

I will be using maya 7.0 and realflow 4.0, rendering will be done in renderman.
My goal would be to make a crowded street flood.
I spent my weekend scrounging models off turbosquid and max-realms for models and did a little myself and came up with this set.
