Overview
Psunami for SOFTIMAGE|XSI is a complete solution for photo-realistic animating of wave surfaces, based on the award-winning technology owned by Areté Entertainment. Psunami|XSI includes instruments for simulating and visualizing all types of water surfaces, such as oceans and rivers,  including ocean disturbances such as ripples, curvilinear wakes, and swells. Psunami is one of the first plug-ins available for XSI v.2.x.

Features
• Native Operators: Ocean, Ripple, Wake, Swell, Curved Wake, Air.
• Custom toolbar providing direct access to the operators.
• Per-operator adjustable precision settings.
• Main simulating parameters (i.e. wind velocity, wave height, etc.) driven by the icon SRT transformation.
• On the fly adjustable preview grid resolution.
• Fast switching between preview and infinite ocean.
• Automatic render tree setup: each time an operator is applied to the ocean surface, the corresponding shading node is added to the render tree.
• Photo-real wave shading capability with mental ray 3.0 using advanced bump/displacement shader combination.
• By hand adjustable render tree: each node can be added/removed independently by the plug-in operator. For example, use the Psunami bump/displacement nodes together with a standard XSI illumination shader.
• Automatic atmosphere color based on sun direction.
• Underwater depth fading.
• Haze and rainbows.
• Cross-platform floating network licenses.
• Fast installation from inside XSI.
• Psunami-to-RenderWorld interface allows you to model ocean inside of XSI and render through RenderWorld.
