#Cool water bump map
Hi Gang.
I just ran into a neat way to make custom water and I thought some others might
be interested (especially those of us without Noise2_.ixp).
I am needing to animate water filling up in a tank and then spilling over a
weir. I'm not quite there yet, but was immediately halted at creating decent
water in the adjacent tanks and the the one filling up. It was one of those
situations where after trying nine phillion alternatives I said to myself, "I
really need to improve my AniPro skills!".
While messing around in AniP, with cycle draw, I ran into this:
Select the "A" palette (31 color ramp from black-to-white)
Select "C" for color cycle
Set the cursor size to something big (around 32)
Either DRAW or DRIZ., and have fun.
Then set your total frames to 31, right click on the "C" for color
cycle
and render.
Not only can you make great flow paths and splash pools, but the resulting flic
is really wild to watch!
Good Luck,
