Could Materials Morphing help here, by morphing between two materials each with WATER.SXP set up?

It's certainly worth an experiment. – G

I think you guys are talking about my question that I asked about 2 weeks ago about making the water.sxp loop. If you are I was able to make the water loop, if not please ignore this message. Anyway, I was able to make the water loop with-in 50 frame. Unfortunatly I dont have the parameters that I used with my right now but next time I am on compu-serve I will post them for the rest of you to use. Thanks for all the help -Gregg Daly Graphix Zone

Hey Guys, I got a job using the Water.SXP and I'm aving a difficult time getting it to animate on a large body of water. On smaller bodies of water the waves only eminate from a single point, i.e. like a rock was dropped in the water! I've tried a lot of parameter changes on the large body of water with the SXP and it still doesn't look like the .fli demo file. Help, I'm pulling my hair out and I don't have much left! Also, I'm using Release 3 with release 2 IPAS, will that make a big difference? Any help would be greatly apprieciated(?)!! Thanks, Jack Walsh Future Grafx

The best thing to do is to use the sample files that ship with Disk#2 and modify those accordingly. Note that since the wave function is based on a fractal noise algorithm, you might be better off getting a rock-dropped-in-water effect if you use a pxp like waves (or the new multi-wave pxp that the Schreiber Instruments folks are selling). – G

These things are often a function of scale, Jack. I you would like, I'll Email you my phone number, and maybe we could get a good water effect going over the phone… Lemme know, -Alan Iglesias

Gregg: I'd like to talk with you about Windows Sources magazine. Can you give me a call on Monday at 212 503 5461? We're doing a lot of animation, video and multimedia in the labs. Dennis
