Beach 01

Just imagine… a sandy beach with a few pebbles, lapping waves, seaweed and small creatures on the rocks. There is such a place, called Beach 01 for DAZ Studio. The Beach 01 is a scene subset of a sandy beach with boulders and an ocean model with waves, bubbles and sea spray from a 3D computer fluid simulation. The beach has pebbles on it and eleven rocks of various sizes, some of which are in or under the water. To add more realism, the sand scour around the rocks was modeled as well, and a few rocks have marine life in the form of seaweed called bladderwrack and some have sea snails. All of these elements can be turned on or off to create a beach scene that so far existed only in your dreams!

The ocean model contains no textures or other ‘tricks’ to represent the water, just plain geometry and a lot of it, millions of triangles. The geometry pushes DAZ Studio to its limits because each bubble, foam and spray particle is modelled using spheres with simplified geometry. While the sandy beach, rocks, and pebbles are textured using 8K and 2K texture maps for color, roughness and normal vector data.

Just for fun, a “Just Imagine…” sign is included as a bonus. But, now that you can have Beach 01, you don’t need to imagine anymore.

I hope these new prop models will add a splash of fun to your scenes.

Happy rendering!
