    Foam in the water system

    The foam properties make it possible to control how much foam appears on your water surface and to make small adjustments to the foam's appearance.

    Configuration

    It is currently best practice to only adjust two of the foam settings: Simulation Foam Amount and the Wind Speed Dimmer.

    Simulation Foam Amount determines foam patch size.

    Wind Speed Dimmer

    This control determines the amount of foam that Distant Wind Speed values produce.


    • A: Distant Wind Speeds at the bottom of the curve do not produce any foam.
    • B: Distant Wind Speeds in the range where the curve rises produce some foam.
    • C: Distant Wind Speeds in the range at the top of the curve produce lots of foam.
    • D: The x axis of this graph represents normalized Distant Wind Speed.
    • E: The y axis of this graph represents the percentage of the maximum foam amount.

    Limitations

    This foam implementation is monochromatic. You cannot add a tint to represent algae, for example.
