Hi, I was trying to make a 3d water piece using sea extension, but just couldn't figure out what's the proper way of doing it. I have two questions:

1) is it possible to use sea extension surface (waves) as a cutting plane? So it would be possible to have water volume as a 3d geometry + sea extension as a water surface.
2) or better still, is it possible to use sea extension for 3d volumes? not just as a plane.

I'm using Maxwell plug in for Rhino v5

Would be a great help if someone could give a tip.

Here is my test. I'm using sea extension top surface (with water material) and a simple box below with a volumetric extension. It's kind of okay, but if u look closer, u can sea, that in some parts surface plane either intersects or doesn't touch volume below..

maxwell sea in rhino created as mesh ; you can create 3d volume with modeling tools

thanks, yes, of course it's possible to model 3d volume manually, but do you know if there is a away of using sea extension or something to make it easier and faster?

you can not do that with the plugin
