Psunami [MAC]

Used in Miramax’s movie, “The Aviator,” Psunami generates precise 3D geometry of an ocean surface, then produces ultra-realistic ray-traced output that looks like real water, from flat pools to raging high seas. Choose from hundreds of editable controls, and even place your camera underwater for the ultimate immersive effect. Psunami has been used in many feature films, television
productions and commercials.

Ultra-realistic output
Psunami uses Arete Image Software’s RenderWorld ray-tracing engine — the same one used in movies such as Titanic, The Truman Show, Cast Away and Pearl Harbor. With features such as swell controls, air and light optics, wind, displacement mapping, depth of field control, reflection mapping, and tiling, your water effects will fool the experts.

Complete camera control
Psunami lets you fly your camera in 3D space above the water, on the water’s surface, or even below the water, for the ultimate in realism. Set the field of view to determine how much surface detail is visible.

Easy animation options
Need to add an object on the water, such as a boat or a buoy? Psunami makes it easy to composite objects into your water scene. Time stretch features help to create slow-motion scenes, while animating the Wind properties can quickly change the look of your waves.
