Foam

Water foam has been a tricky issue in this project and in my opinion hasn’t been solved yet.
I did a few tests after studying Maya2009’s nParticles. They are quite amazing in their collision capabilities, but the ultimately they are too slow and impractical to work with, considering the machines that I have available to me.

Below is a test of my result:

If time permits, I will try to spend a few days with Maya fluids to see if I can discover a more efficient way to create foam. All of these elements will be composited together to look more natural of course.
