Firstly, thank you for your comments both in the forums and here, the are most pleasing and make the time spent worth while.

Foam will be explored in todays edition in the same manner as the other settings yesterday.

Global Wave control must be disabled before these settings can be changed.

Foam Along Coasts
These settings account for the amount of foam along the coastlines when there is an object present within the meta water. For these images there will be a small island, not a very attractive one perhaps sitting in the middle of the ocean.

Amount
This accounts for the amount of foam that is present i.e. the density of the foam around the coast. The higher the value, the greater the density of the foam. Default is 71 Maximum is 100%, Minimum is 1%. For clarity the “Depth of Foam” will be cranked up to 50 to show results.

Typical Depth
This accounts for the width of the foam away from the shore, i.e. how long the foam continues into the sea, the higher the value, the further it continues.

Foam Over Waves
This accounts for the amount of foam at the tips of cresting waves, or on swell.

Amount
This accounts for the density of the foam on the waves, the greater the value, the denser the material
Default is 25% Maximum is 100, Minimum is 0

0% Displacement Off: 2 Polygons

100% Displacement Off: 2 Polygons

100% Displacement On: 2185000 Polygons

It is worth noting that the higher the value, the longer the render takes.

Coverage
This accounts for the amount of water that is covered by the foam, the greater the value, less water will be visible.

Hope this helps! More will come eventually relating to the Atmosphere Editor, Ecopainter, Texture Editor and the function editor.

Any comments, suggestions, additions more than welcome! Please feel free to link to my site.
