shaunf Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 I thought I might post a little water test I did. It looks very promising. I used an animated displacement and bump map (you can see the line where the bump map begins). I used the babbage patch tutes to help me out. Anyway, just thought people might be interested. Cheers Shaun water_displacement.mov Quote
Kamikaze Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 Great looks......so all Ill need is the babbage patch tutes to do the same? or did you add a little extra, a trade secrete...smile....that does look exaxtlly like water.. Michael Quote
bentothemax Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 Wow, thats really good . . . I did somthing like that for a river of mine . . . I'll see if i can dig it up Quote
JTalbotski Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 Oh, sure, Shaun...nice try....that's real water and you know it... Just kidding, excellent results! Jim Quote
johnl3d Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 looks refreshing always thought that that was a great tut you've proved it Quote
shaunf Posted June 15, 2005 Author Posted June 15, 2005 Thanks for the comments people. Here's another test for the same project. I think its working well. It will be interesting to try and animate with this in the background, but hopefully it should look good. http://www.shaunfreeman.com/temp/blue_wave.mov Quote
3DArtZ Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 Looks great!!! Really, that was way cool! How about from othe angles? Maybe in the tube, looking out! Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted June 15, 2005 Hash Fellow Posted June 15, 2005 Those look real good. I especially like the first one because it doesn't have that "boiling" look that most of the water animations seem to have. Quote
heyvern Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 Oh come on! If you zoom way in on one of the frames you can clearly see the reflection of someone holding a video camera. Seriously though, the wave is the killer. That is the best one I've seen yet... in perfect honesty... I wasn't sure exactly if it was done in A:M. I had to re-read your post to make sure I read it correctly the first time! Vernon "!" Zehr Quote
KenH Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 Oh come on! If you zoom way in on one of the frames you can clearly see the reflection of someone holding a video camera. Absolutely! There's even a beach ball in the shot. And I can see a fish jump splash about half way through it. I can't believe that doesn't even use the new cloth/fluid featues in v12! Quote
markeh Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 Well look at that. I've been trying to figure out how to do a wave and there's a fariggin' wave! I'm just curious, if you backed the camera away from that, would that show the secret? Or is there a whole ocean behind that wave? Animated displacement on a static wave model with particles? Quote
shaunf Posted June 16, 2005 Author Posted June 16, 2005 Thanks chaps! Mark, I can pull back a bit, but the only shot in frame is only the wave so there was no point adding anything further. It wouldn't be much extra work to add more ocean though. Just a bit more modelling. Quote
agep Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 Wow! Thats the most impressive water I've seen made with A:M. Hope you some day reveals the secret Quote
jpappas Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 Shaun, I've watched the clip three times now and it's so well done it actually looks like a rendered sphere composited over real footage of ocean water, and I couldn't express any better compliment about how good it looks than that! Very nice job on the bright sunlight dancing on the water, it really helps make it realistic. If you planned on sharing a tutorial (hint, hint) I'm sure it would become the go-to AM water tutorial for a long time to come. -Jim Quote
elam Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 What are your render times on this? And have you posted this on CG-Talk? Quote
jakerupert Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 Could you explain more in deep, how you did the one with the wave please? Great stuff!!!!!!!!!!! Jake Quote
shaunf Posted June 18, 2005 Author Posted June 18, 2005 No worries. When I get a chance I'll post a quick explanation. Quote
Sharky Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 Hi Shaun! Wonderful water effects,that is very reality water! Nice work, keep it up! How did you make this reality wave? Best regards, Sharky Quote
kuep Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 Way cool, cant wait for a idea how you did both. Quote
Kamikaze Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 HAd a nice long post on this one that the forum lost for me...again....so in short...great looking effecf, Id need/want such an effect for my next MMC entry... Michael Quote
gsellis Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Shaun, are you done yet, huh, huh, huh, done yet, huh? Very cool and I do want to know how! Wow. Quote
shaunf Posted June 24, 2005 Author Posted June 24, 2005 As soon as I get a moment I'll post a decent explanation. In the short term though: I basically modelled a static wave, and a static foam model (at the point where the wave meets the ocean). I created moving animated bump and displacement maps using the techniques outlined in the babbage patch tutorial and stuck them on. I made the wave transparent with a refractive index of about 1.4, I made it reflective (mybe 20-30 percent), and then stuck in an large sphere with an environment map applied to give the water something the reflect and refract. I then added some sprites for the spray. And I got my wave. The original water was just following the babbage patch tutes. When I get a moment though I'll outline the process properly. Cheers Shaun Quote
DrPhibes Posted June 24, 2005 Posted June 24, 2005 The original water was just following the babbage patch tutes. I'm glad people still find this useful. I have been trying to get an updated tut done for version 11/12, but it seems every time I get started, other work distracts me. SOON, I promise Quote
Kamikaze Posted June 24, 2005 Posted June 24, 2005 I've done Charles's tut sveral times in the years...I have it in my personal AM tuts folder..any updated tutorials on the subject are apprciated......I would be lost without my tutorial folder I can never remember how to do something ,cant rely on my memory anymore.... Thanks you, Michael Quote
gschumsky Posted June 24, 2005 Posted June 24, 2005 Hey Shaun. Excellent work. The wave is nice, including the mist coming off the top. The only crit I have is that the water is too clear. A wave would typically churn up stuff from the ocean floor (some sand at least), and the water would be a bit more turbulent, less transparent...though down under the waves might be that clear (if so, I'm grabbing my board and heading down right away!). Maybe add some green to it? This is some guys surfing in Australia. Quote
Eric2575 Posted June 25, 2005 Posted June 25, 2005 Ok, if someone is not going to show me how to get the Babbage tutorial to work on V.11.1, then I am GOING TO HOLD MY BREATH TILL I TURN BLUE!!! I mean it.....I really will, you know......not one single breath.....it'll be all on your shoulders....blue I tell you! . . . . Ok, I'm starting to hold my breath now............... . . . Whimper, whimper.....please someone save me......I'm starting to see stars....it's getting so cold and dark....gasp.....choke....................aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarghhhhhhhhhhh! Quote
Heath_Naylor Posted June 25, 2005 Posted June 25, 2005 Wow, that is amazing! I want a project file! Or any plugin you used... And money, I need money right now too... Quote
Eric2575 Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 As my soul gets carried off into the great unknown....I ask myself....were there more shooters on the grassy knoll? Could a man really survive the radiation levels of the Van Allen Belt? ...Will the Babbage water tutorial legend ever be affirmed?..............Wait, I see a light.......I'll have the answers soon..........drifting out of sight and mind.

Jin-Kazama Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 eric....when your soul gets carried off into the great unknown...i think i know what u gonna face there...it's where u will be living as an angel, or as a devil. where u feel good, of feel bad...it's where u will be asked about all what u did in your life...me my self...i'm afriad of that day.. your brother... jin kazama Quote
John Bigboote Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 Shaun- Coming in late...just saw your wave...THATS GOT TO BE ONE OF THE COOLEST DANG THINGS I'VE EVER SEEN MADE WITH A:M!!!! Hey...send me the project file...I'll stick a surfer-chick in there! (winkwinknudgenudge!) GREAT JOB! Quote
