Hey all, I have had Vue4 for several months but am not very proficient with it yet. I am attempting to generate ripples like you would find on any large wind blown sand surface. I have attempted to generate this effect useing the tutorial on pg 251 of users guide but the effect generated appears too uniform. Any tips would be appreciated. Cheers, Dave

Hi, To my point of view, the best thing to do is to begin with Vue's mats (there are some mats that are near to what you're looking for) and edit them to see how they are done... then play with the functions settings turbulence, fractal noise etc... Material editor is very powerful but requires some time to understand.. Don't forget to check in the Backroom here for very useful general tips.. good luck!
