Mike, not sure you realize but people pay to learn this stuff but here you are teaching for absolutely free and with very good and clear instructions. I use your tutorials as refreshers, as i have learnt a lot from Digital Tutors over the past few years. You sure deserve more viewers/subscribers. so thank you for taking out time for these tutorials. Much appreciated.
tariq0513 Hi Tariq, That's not why I said it but if you want to donate, that would be awesome and appreciated. I have a "Buy me a cup of coffee" button on you CZcams channel homepage or alternatively my PayPal account is hermesmike@hotmail.com Thanks man, Mike
A thing worth mentioning is that if you are going to be making a sailing object, you will need to use bifrost guided simulation with the ocean. It will take shape of the ocean and interact with the object.
Sir, this tutorial is amazing!!! So simple and detailed and helpful! I am using a newer version 2018 but I was still able to achieve the result!!!! Thank you!
Hi ! Can u explain me what u doing when he drag and drop in the Hypershade pls ? I can't make the same thing :/ Idk if it's Maya or me, but i can't do it :/ Where did you connect "out color" of OceanShader ?
im serious cuz most of the others they show just a couple of modeling techniques and thats it but you showed me how to play with particles dynamics gravity and fields plus you model tons of different stuffs with different materials and techniques so thank u very much sir :D keep up the great work :D
hi it's me again but this time i have a pretty challenging request, plz can you show me how to make a male game character and how to texture it, if you are not interested in this request it's totally ok with me thank you anyway for your great works :D
Mohammed Salem Hi Mohammed, I am sorry for the late reply Mohammed but I have been out sick for the last few days, My apologies. To answer your question, I never model characters, just props and scenes. Sorry. I know that there are guys out there specialized in characters. maybe they can help, Mike
Thank you Mike..Is really nice and help me a lot .I am using Maya 2016 and is Hypershade little differ like in Maya 2014 but I solve it..Thank you again .Good job..
HI Mike, just wondering if there is a way for me to model my liquid with the ocean shader and then change my material to a mental ray material (i want a chrome liquid, and bifrost seems to not do the trick for me in terms of the look of my scene). Thanks!
why did you plug the ocean shader into the transparency of the blinn and then replace the blinn with the ocean shader on the geometry? just curious, to me it seems like you are losing the transparency you set
Hi, what do you mean by middle mousing the ocean color to the blinn? I tryed with the middle mouse button clicking and it didn't dragged it to the bling and I couldn't transfer to it.
+Jonas Virsila Try this, make sure the blin object is selected in your scene. Then goto the hypershade, select the ocean shader, right click and select "apply to selected"
nice tutorial, im stuck on the hypershade windows and the work area where you add the ocean shader , because im using maya 2016 and all this seems very different, i dont really know what to do
Hi, Your tutorial is very helpful, clear, one of the vest on youtube. Can u do a tutorial or a serie that explain how to model, texture, rig and animate a fantasy creature. I think it would be great u explain realy good. Thx continue to post tutorial on maya .
+Sardonix Hi there, the mesh does not deform at all, it is simply a shader designed to reflect light in a way that it resembles water. If you want to actually animate water check my Ocean tutorial czcams.com/video/TqkJgqawwHk/video.html
Great video! As you mention in the video, there are several kinds of ways to create water, so I wanted to ask: in terms of processing power/render time, is this method the most efficient?
So as long as I remember... you create a blinn and assign it to the water, then create ocean shader and connect the transparency to the blinn. But you assign the ocean shader to the water again so you see the results in viewport. At last, did you reassign the blinn to the water? or just rendered with oceanshader? you never showed reassigning the blinn.
Can someone please help me, i followed everything from the video for 5 times and every time shader is displayed bright like this: i.imgur.com/PzX0Dg4.jpg I can see it when i render the frame but can't in my panel, can't edit like this, please help
I tried high quality render and viewport 2.0 nothing. And light also doesn't afect the shader if i change intensity, it does in my panel but not in render
it's asus gtx 950, if i update drivers would that help? and do i have to reinstall maya after that. IPR is the way to go with this thanks so much for quick reply!
ak1012010 Hi there, That depends on what you mean by learn. Creating something in Maya ? A few hours. Mastering Maya and becoming a ( starting ) professional ? 4 years ?
hi Mike , your tutorials help a lot thx bud, but can you also make a tutorial cinematic title of yours at begining MIKE HERMES or such a kind in maya plz....
like i have seen videos on how to make tornadoes, fire balls ,volcanic erruption like that do you have any videos on how to make ocean from scratch using fluids
I Notice when you extrude it creates walls meaning there is a face on both sides. In Maya 2016 I tried the exact same thing but the one face moves out and doesn't have a face. Made a little pond, works great, trying to float objects now. See screen shot: drive.google.com/open?id=0B4ydB7AtzWawMW9pM1ZaWmJ6MWM

tariq0513 I am well aware of that but I also want to share with those who can't afford loads of cash for training. I do however accept donations :-)
Mike Hermes ah right, was not aware you do. post a link on how to donate. would love to donate from time to time, as am sure many others would do too.

does this not work with arnold render? cause when i render, the ocean shows pink
Cheers, mate. Really helpful.
when i render the water is pink for me, help ?
thanks , it 's useful
is this work in arnold renderer or redshift,,??? i try but not get the result
So what if I wanted to render out just the water to add to an existing clip and mix them in Adobe premiere pro ? Question is the answer, right ?
thank you :) liked it :)

Hi,
Your tutorial is very helpful, clear, one of the vest on youtube.
Can u do a tutorial or a serie that explain how to model, texture, rig and animate a fantasy creature.
I think it would be great u explain realy good.
Thx continue to post tutorial on maya .

How come the water wasn’t really transparent at the end there?
The ocean is not transparent from the top either
Thanks for this but how does the surface of a plane with no divisions wind up deformed as yours does?
+Sardonix Hi there, the mesh does not deform at all, it is simply a shader designed to reflect light in a way that it resembles water. If you want to actually animate water check my Ocean tutorial czcams.com/video/TqkJgqawwHk/video.html
I was looking at the edge where the water surfaces meets the pool side. It looks wavy there.
Thanks for the reply.
+Sardonix Yes it does, that's the point
hey nice tute! just what was that point of the part at 5:55, where you connected it to the blinn1, but never used the blinn1?
d4rkst0rm16 Sorry, I do these tutorials on the fly and have to think while I do
Great video! As you mention in the video, there are several kinds of ways to create water, so I wanted to ask: in terms of processing power/render time, is this method the most efficient?
+Ole Midthun For a static image, yes
vielen dank
So as long as I remember... you create a blinn and assign it to the water, then create ocean shader and connect the transparency to the blinn. But you assign the ocean shader to the water again so you see the results in viewport. At last, did you reassign the blinn to the water? or just rendered with oceanshader? you never showed reassigning the blinn.
I reassigned it
I must have missed it. thank you for the great tutorial!
could u render that in vray?
It's very hard Maya By myself (sad) Mike Hermes Thank you.
Hi mike, i wonder if i want a person jump in with bifrost, you can make spalter with this shader?
+Zenovarse No, you would have to use Bifrost
Mike Hermes many thank
Hi, Can you 3D print the water surface? (With the ocean shader)
Should be able to, yes
Can someone please help me, i followed everything from the video for 5 times and every time shader is displayed bright like this: i.imgur.com/PzX0Dg4.jpg I can see it when i render the frame but can't in my panel, can't edit like this, please help
I tried high quality render and viewport 2.0 nothing. And light also doesn't afect the shader if i change intensity, it does in my panel but not in render
+TheZeroPhase Could be a video card problem. But why not just IPR render it ?
it's asus gtx 950, if i update drivers would that help? and do i have to reinstall maya after that. IPR is the way to go with this thanks so much for quick reply!
how do we change the color of the water?
In the attribute editor ( hit Ctrl+A )
Is the same thing with Vray materials? Thanks!
No, pretty different
will this water be moving if we fully render some frames ??
ohhh never mind i found your other tutorial of animating ocean
+Umang Kapoor Good :-)
good tutorial, easy and clear! Does it works with Vray render?
+Sam Stark Thanks, it should
How long will take to learn maya in autodesk university ?
ak1012010 Hi there,
That depends on what you mean by learn. Creating something in Maya ? A few hours.
Mastering Maya and becoming a ( starting ) professional ? 4 years ?
hi Mike , your tutorials help a lot thx bud, but can you also make a tutorial cinematic title of yours at begining MIKE HERMES or such a kind in maya plz....
+henry jo That's actually done in After Effects and not in Maya
+Mike Hermes Okay . Mike can you a cinematic title animation in maya plz. It would help me alot. Thx
sorry
Can you make
+henry jo It has been made for me. My After Effects skills are horrible
Looks good to me though. Anyway thx.
i need to know how to create a water drop effects in maya
Try Bifrost
did you make any tutorials for how to make an ocean using fluids
abhishek chakrabarti Yes, see this video czcams.com/video/xrMKM9ISdSY/video.html and the video czcams.com/video/TqkJgqawwHk/video.html
those are presets
i'm asking whether you have any video on how to make ocean or any water body that is not static
like i have seen videos on how to make tornadoes, fire balls ,volcanic erruption
like that do you have any videos on how to make ocean from scratch using fluids
not the presets
can it be animated?
LP RONNIE Yes, you can animate a water surface, but not with this technique. Check my video on how to animate an ocean.

I can't locate the work area in maya 2016 :(
+Runner Ho The work area ? You mean the main working screen ?
+Mike Hermes yes, the area which you drag the blinn1 onto. On my version, I couldn't drag onto any space.
+Runner Ho Please send a screen shot to mh-tutorials@hotmail.com
In the medieval era of Maya the rendering was strange ...
I Notice when you extrude it creates walls meaning there is a face on both sides. In Maya 2016 I tried the exact same thing but the one face moves out and doesn't have a face.
Made a little pond, works great, trying to float objects now.
See screen shot:

Sir I have a request how to make human face model, make a video on it
I don't do characters, sorry
three quarters of this tutorial has nothing to do with the ocean shader!
?just joking :)
hi
I have autodesk maya 2017 bifrost but Arnold its not work screen black..
That is a Service Pack problem that needs to be installed. Check the forum on Autodesk
did you press render button?
