This review is a little different from my previous examinations of your favorite waves, this wave cannot be surfed, but will add a realistic touch to your surfing area. Lets face it not every wave in the ocean is going to give you that once in a lifetime ride, there are many that we all watch roll on through; this is that type of wave.

 

Naima’s creation is a huge prim with an ultra-realistic wave animation running from one end of the prim to the other. The animation is just spectacular and finishes off you ocean in a very realistic manner. The creator recommends this product for “off shore” and I would agree these waves are better seen from a distance.

 

Set up of this wave is a snap! It’s placed right on the ocean surface and starts animation with no input needed. I would always suggest placing any object in edit mode so you can adjust it immediately without picking it again. Once you have placed the wave you can move it into the optimum location. Another suggestion would be to move it as far to your ocean’s horizon as it will go. This will allow you to have part of the prim “off-sim” which will create a fantastic look of infinity on your ocean.

When occupying the same space as your surfable waves the Naima Ocean Wave will not interfere with your ride or the performance of the wave. I have my Naima waves running in tandem with a large Sunset wave and there has been no affect on ride or the performance of the wave. Additionally I’ve seen no real degradation of sim performance.

As far as compatibility I have tested the Naima waves with; Sunset, Pipeline, Foam and Maverick waves and had no problems. This product can be paired with any of the shoreline waves out there to create a finished look to your beach. A great look is having the Naima Ocean Waves end about 10-15m from your beach with a shoreline wave running in the rest of the way.

In scoring this wave on my patented and totally subjective scale I would give this wave a 9 out of 10. The beauty, simplicity and cost make this a must have for any sim owner that has an ocean.
