In the product the product makes the shoreline's water have a nice jagged and Realistic effect, the automatic conversion causes the shoreline to be a very straight flat line with shadows, I noticed the water in the Materials tab has this transparency map aplied to its transparency edge node, and I was wondering what I can do to correct this image more like the product's display image which was renderd in Firelfy

Can you post a screenshot of the Poser material for the water and the Octane material it converted to pls?

Thanks

Thanks - it doesn't look like the transmap "2nd_W_TIB_Water edge.png" is used by that Poser material - so it's won't get converted to the Octane material.

Where are your instructions on how to do it manually? No I just mean that usually you'd say, Simply plug an X node into the Y dialogue and set the transparency map you just showed me to the Z setting. I cant expect you to do everything but I can expect myself to follow along and understand the first example to do well with any future examples.

Is it too much ofa pain in the butt to ask for help since you dont have and arent dealin g with the product in front of your eyes?

It might be worth you reading the documentation to get a better understanding of how Octane works. There is a wealth of information at https://docs.otoy.com. To assign a transmap to a material, set the Opacity pin the Greyscale Image, and then load the transmap using the Image button.

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you want the render to look like. There are some very good renders with water in them in these forums (viewtopic.php?f=5&t=53094 for example) - I suggest you post on those threads asking what Octane Material they used for the water.
