Hello,
I know that this is mostly a forum about Game related topics, but maybe you can help me anyway :) I am trying to dive more into the fluid side of cgi and at the same time trying to learn Renderman. The plan is to create an animation of an ocean covered with mist and rainfall. Now I found out that Renderman (RIS or Reyes) does not see the ocean shader provided by Maya, and I couldnt find much information on the ocean shader by Renderman. I really like the controls the provided Ocean shader by Maya gives me, but I would like to stick with Renderman for now instead of going to Mental Ray. If you could push me in the right direction or link a tutorial that would be amazing!

As I said I also want to create rainfall and make it interact with the ocean upon impact, but Renderman got a tutorial provided for that, so I should be fine in that regard :P

Thanks a lot in advance!
