animating a boat in the water 2004-04-15 - By Spangler Christy
Back
Hey Anthony, and Ben...
Thank you for the info. These suggestions will get me started on running some
tests. I guess the challenge will be to get the waves, well, wavey. I have been
enjoying using xsi (I am a former Maya user) and I do like to have options in
order to get something done.
Thanks!
Christy

If you want to avoid surfaces for whatever reason, you can shrink wrap the
path to a poly mesh with a wave deform on it.
Welcome to XSI-where there are usually five different ways to make something
happen.
