Ocean waves along shoreline.

Unread postby wacampbell » Sun Jan 26, 2014 10:59 am

I am building a route at the edge of one of the great lakes. The water seems awfully still. Do any of the available routes have a moving ocean wave effect included? I am wondering how it would be done. I am thinking maybe it would work to place an animated wave shape that moves in cycles toward the shoreline. Any thoughts?

Pacific Surfliner is the only American route with that effect, but yes.

PS uses just a white line moving towards the shoreline, and the effect is great. You don't even need a model.
