>From two years ago on this list, here's how I installed aaOcean for
Softiamge 2014


download from here:
https://bitbucket.org/amaanakram/aaocean/downloads



For the Arnold version, you can install like this:

Copy
aaOceanRev255\aaOcean\Arnold\Arnold-4.2.0.6-windows\Shader\aaOcean.dll
to
$WORKGROUP\Addons\SItoA\Application\Plugins\bin\nt-x86-64


Copy
aaOcean\Arnold\Arnold-4.2.0.6-windows\SItoA\aaOcean.spdl
to
$WORKGROUP\Addons\SItoA\Application\spdl


Copy
aaOceanRev255\aaOcean\Softimage\Softimage2014\aaOceanDeformer.dll
to
$WORKGROUP\Addons\SItoA\Application\Plugins



$WORKGROUP is just my workgroup location. For example:
C:\Users\StephenBlair\Documents\softimage\workgroups\sitoa-3.2.0-2014



For mental ray, it would be similar, but you won't be installing into the
Addons folder of a workgroup.
