Wading HD, Copyright PixelDust1 November 26, 2025

Vendor name: PixelDust1 

Product description: 
There are many excellent renderings of scenes where the heroine or hero is partially immersed in water. Be that fighting, evading enemies, or just having fun in the water. Almost all scenes imply motion, based on the pose our action star takes on. Yet, there could be something missing! In the rendered images, while running or slashing, our heroes stand amidst a still, motionless body of water. There is no trace of ripples or waves supporting the dynamic motion shown in the scene. 
Well, not anymore! The Wading HD is an upgrade to my old Wading product. This completely new set of 10 props show a body of water reacting to a human wading into it at about chest deep. The models were generated using a fluid dynamics simulation to capture the formation of eddies and waves as a body wades in water. The models contain no texture or other ‘tricks’ to represent the water, just plain geometry and a lot of it. The geometry pushes DAZ Studio to its limits because each bubble, foam and spray particle is modelled using spheres with simplified geometry. If you need a scene with a larger body of water, please check out my other products. You will be able to combine those with the props in this set to create as large of a body of water as you wish.  The models contain only the body of water with bubbles, foam and spray.

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

System requirements: PC and DAZ Studio 4.15 and newer

Needed files: No other files/products needed.

Installation instructions: Unzip the downloaded product zip file(s) into your data, Documentation, Props and Runtime directory/folder, as applicable.

Usage tips/limitations: The Wading HD prop models are envisioned to represent a 3D volume liquid material, thus there are no texture maps supplied. By default, DAZ Studio’s water Iray shaders were applied to the models. Feel free to change the water’s Transmitted Color surface parameter to go from the dark grey blues of a stormy sea to the light crystal blues of tropical waters. Similarly, experiment with the material properties of the bubbles, foam and spray to create a unique look that matches your vision.

Complete list of morphs: Not applicable.
