ABSTRACT
Introduction Following on from the Calm Seas tutorial, we can create the complete opposite to this by generating a scene that none of us would really like to experience in real life. While the construction process for the calm sea was relatively simple, due to the high amount of materials which have been ‘whipped up’ by the winds, the material tree in this tutorial has dramatically increased in size more over, so the end construction of this effect is going to be a bit more lengthy. Not only are we going to create and animate the surface of the water, we are also going to generate a sky so the sea has something to reflect, even if it is a really nasty looking sky. To top it all off we are also going to add some illumination from ‘lightning’ which will be created by simple animated lights.
