IRAY ocean wake shader

Anyone have a secret ingredient for a realistic ocean wake? I have some great 3D props from sharecg, but I have tried quite a few water shaders on them and none fit the bill, any ideas?

    Have you tried the water shader from this set - https://www.daz3d.com/rigged-water-iray-2

    Yep, i actually am using part of one of those for the ocean I am using

    NOt sure then for the wake itself.  Doing the wake with deformers or in a modeler is the easy part.  Its the look of the air bubbles thats created that is the tough part and I have not seen anythign that comes cloese

    Maybe try modifying a snow shader, like one of the ones from Terradome 3?  I know I started from there when I was doing a picture with a dragon trailing his wing through an otherwise mirror still lake.  It was intended more as a ripple than a full wake, but it's somewhere to start.

    Maybe start a milk shader? I've seen a bunch of things come with milk shaders... And the color of milk is from little globs of milk solids/matter, maybe not unlike suspended bubbles in boat wake. (So, a second object forming the surface with the bubbly wake.)

    I THINK I used a milk shader plus a bump or normal shader of 'bubbles' to get an appropriate surface, but it's been a while.

    One of the frustrating things about Iray volumes is that it's really hard to have a smooth transition from, say, a cloudy volume to a clear volume.

    yeah, but the image of the wake isn't all that convincing for me. Matty, you gave me an idea, find a seamless bubble texture and see if I can tile that. Blurst of Times, there is a milk shader in the product mentioned early on and I did try it with a few variations, but no joy.

    I'll try a few of the suggestions posted, thanks for helping out. I'll post back if I find a "3D"solution.

    it's a postwork thing and not a 3d thing, but ron's underwater air has a wide range of really nice bubble brushes.

    Sy's newly released Super Splash Pack also has a couple of wake props:

    Thanks, I hadn't seen that one, will give it a try.

    Not an option as I want to do this in complete 3D and fake as little as possible, but thanks for the info and the link.

    Along these same lines, is there a good model out there for suds...as in a bubble bath?  I know Ron has a really good brush.  I was just wondering if there was a model available so I could render it in 3D.

    Powerage has a product for G3F at Renderosity.
