I got the same error when I tried
to unzip it.

#22

For a while I thought it was only me. I sent an E-Mail to Pix on the error message so I am sure he is aware of the problem now.

#23

I have re-uploaded the file. I hope that it will work fine this time.
You can download the file from the original post or from here…Water Ripples Tutorial

P.S. This goes to show that even 18 bits can make a big difference :slight_smile:

heres a pic i did a couple days ago with water (first water pic)but now that i know how to make ripples it will look much better. Thanks for the great tuts!!
How can i make it seem like there are water droplets on the creature?? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Pix I just downloaded the ripples script and this time it works perfectly. I will give it a try and see what I can come up with to reinforce the methodology. Thank you so very much. I like this method of doing tutorials, as it gives you a chance to concentrate on what is being done. I also picked up a few tips like setting the angle of the canvas, and the shape of the brush.

#26

Thanks for the further information Zoid…
The reason I suppose I do it the way I do is that I think of myself as a painter, and prefer to add things to the rendered image, but I see your point about the layer lighting deal… :+1: :sunglasses: :+1:

Interesting method Pix. Here is a quick test with Fish12. :slight_smile:

There are so many interesting ways to make watery effects!
DeeVee, your script shows a great example. I like the jellybean water/fluid.
Stonecutter, I think that approaching projects as a painter with this program is a very smart thing to do.
LWTB, There is a very good method to making water droplets in this thread, especially Winged One’s example on the bottom.
Muvlo, Beautiful Koi fish pond. How did you get them under the water?
And thankyou to Pixolator for this cool new technique. You really know how to make a splash :wink:

I think that you can see the reflection of ripples on a sandy bottom. However, they are usually larger than those on the surface due to the fact that the water acts as a magnifier. That is if the water is as clear as it is in the Cayman Islands. Too many ripples however tend to give an artificial effect, at least that is how I see it.

Cool tutorial Pixolator. I didn’t realize you could get that kind of effect with the snakehook tool until now.

I don’t know why I haven’t noticed this thread until just now. :confused:

#33

Amazing thread! Sometime ago, I was going to post a question concerning this very topic! :smiley: :+1: :smiley:
So, now that I don’t need to do this, thank you Zoid! Great info, clearly stated.

#34

I can’t seem to be able to download Pix’s tutorial. :confused: Can anyone who got it please post it or send it to me?

Thanks!

#35

LWTB asked about water drops on his image. I was doodling around and did this short ZScript, I hope it helps, If not,I think that Pix has a tutorial on droplets.

#37

Sorry I thought that the script was attached to the image.water droplets trial.txt

#38

Just watched the script… good idea!

That Gel material has a lot of possibilities. :slight_smile:

#39

Thanks for looking at the script Muvlo.
the fact that you took the time is appreciated.

I have continued to try different methods of painting the sea, and water in particular. This is my latest effort. Comments pro/con would be welcomed.
