Given that Thomas was interested in it, I am attaching the code that I used to
generate the wake waves in my Rock The Boat image (see p.b.i).

A few disclaimers:
- It's created specifically for my Rock The Boat scene. This image required an
assymetrical wake, which makes the code more complicated than would be required
for a "simple" symmetrical wake.
- It has a few comments, but not enough to be easily understood.

Nevertheless, it may give some inspiration/useful suggestions on how to create
wakes for your own scenes.

The scene should be used with animation enabled to generates three image maps:
1. An image map with wake waves (as well as the waves caused by the wind). It is
to be used in a height_field, e.g.
    height_field {
      png "MakeWake1.png"
      smooth

      // Move water level down to y=0
      translate -y * 0.5

      // Reduce size of waves
      scale <1, 0.002, 1>
    }

2. A partially masked version of the first image, only needed to make the
illusion work. Just ignore this one.

3. An image map that provides a mask to be used as an image pattern for a
texture map. E.g.
    texture {
      image_pattern {
        png "MakeWake3.png"
      }

      texture_map {
        [0.00 FoamyWaterTexture]
        [0.05 FoamyWaterTexture]
        [0.20 QuietWaterTexture]
        [0.40 QuietWaterTexture]
        [0.55 ChoppyWaterTexture]
        [0.75 QuietWaterTexture]
      }
    }

Cheers,
Erwin

Hi Eriban!

Your code works like a charm. I am learning on the spot and have just 
adapted it a little to make it work with my scene. Simple.

A few comments, based on a couple of observations of wakes I chanced to 
notice:

1) When a ship moves slowly (wake_angle = approching 80 or 90 degrees) the 
bow waves seems to be convex-shaped;
2) When the ship moves fast (wake_angle sharper than 45 degrees) the bow 
waves seems to be concave-shaped.

As your bow wave is linear, would that be possible to implement somehow?

You will soon see the use of your code in my image to the current challenge 
at the TC-RTC site (theme: Dragons).

Thank you again for your work.

Thomas

Well time and RL stops me from entering my idea, a Scottish mother-in-law.
But Dutch Thomas is welcome to it (don't tell Normand ;)
