Underwater ripp[ling light effect

	Underwater ripp[ling light effect by Jamil Yamani on Nov 2, 2009 at 5:04:31 am Hi all I have been creating an underwater aquarium scene. I was wondering if anyone knew where I can catch a quick tutorial on a rippling caustic effect on the objects and the bottom (coral etc)? thanks jamil The Electric Canvas Large Format Projection Specialists Sydney, Australia Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Underwater ripp[ling light effect by Michael Szalapski on Nov 3, 2009 at 2:13:39 am There\'s a tutorial here on the COW about the caustics effect that covers what you\'re looking for. http://library.creativecow.net/articles/tierney_jim/caustics.php - The Great Szalam (The 'Great' stands for 'Not So Great, in fact, Extremely Humble') No trees were harmed in the creation of this message, but several thousand electrons were mildly inconvenienced.

	Re: Underwater ripp[ling light effect by Mark Suszko on Nov 3, 2009 at 8:44:06 pm What are you animating this in? Because what I think of first is to just grab a render of the caustic pattern in photoshop, treat it to have an alpha channel, and use it as an animated looping gel or a gobo and project it onto the scenery in a 3d cgi environment. Add volumetric fog effects to thicken up the water a little. Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index
