aha, he's already centered over the water plane, thanks for the encouragement, why do you think so?

Don't use a water plane, use a terrain with water mat. It is more realistic.

Also, try a little specular and very slight reflection to make him look wet. Also some water splash would be nice. Great start!

gog thats a great picture only the splashes are a bit too blue imnsho love the atmosphere of it plz redo it in the newer bryce

for some free stuff i made
and for almost daily fotos

I may well do, being bryce 2 the splashes are lattices, could probably do a better job with metaballs

OK, Here is my progress so far, I've ruled out trying to fit more than one dolphin into this Aspect Ratio, and changed the shape and pose of the main character. Any tips, before I go ahead and start in on the metaballs? I know I want to use at part of the Dolphin's basic shape, but I do'nt think you can use metaball as materials... = )

Odiemance ( ) posted Wed, 22 October 2003 at 5:34 PM

Woops wrong image! This is of how I accomplished making the dolphin look wet, without the use of Specular. Any tips on how to further utilize this GUI would be appreciated. I'll have to go home and come back with the new WIP image! = )

I tried to make him appear wet here. Still working on metaballs though. I do'nt like the way they only reach for themselves, and that you ca'nt treat them like lattices though. This is forcing me to be very over dramtic with them. Anyone know how to turn thier sensitivity up and down?

Odiemance ( ) posted Sun, 26 October 2003 at 1:09 PM

Here is my best shot at splash. These metaballs took me a few hours, but I think they still look way to primative. Gog_CA1 - Where did you get the image you used in your kattice?

Odiemance ( ) posted Sun, 26 October 2003 at 1:16 PM

tjohn - I left the image of my materials lab for you. I do'nt understand specualar, any tips?

Here is the Metaballs WIP again, only smaller. I'm trying to conserve space so as not to scare anyone away with DL Time opening this thread...

I've also done some masking with photoshop. Here is the progress of this thread thus far, I do'nt believe I'll do very much more for this image untill I can get a good splash in. If anyone has any links or creative ideas for this please add them here!

check out this site....is pretty kewl...lots of tuts with pictures...lol (i gotta have pictures...lol)

I'd been thinking of visiting his sight again, but as I suspected his tut. is for pouring water and involves drawing by hand.

Gog ( ) posted Tue, 28 October 2003 at 4:16 PM

@Odiemance, The Lattice I used for the water was just drawn by hand in the TE. To metaball water, you need to use finer metaballs then you may expect, take a look at some of Ornlu's work and then note the high count - 1000's of things to get good water. Peter Sharpe was one of the inspirations that got me using bryce, all the way back with version 2 :-) His tuts have given me lots of other ideas over the years. He always used to have a pouring water tut as well as the splash one

the splash tut is at the bottom of the page....grins

Odiemance ( ) posted Tue, 28 October 2003 at 7:09 PM

Gog_CA1 - 1000's? O wow, yeah then actually I think we'd be getting somewhere! The Multi-Replicator must be handy there. I just browsed Ornlu's gallery, you were sure right he does use alot of Metaballs! I think mayber there should be more of a variation in size though. I'll try this soon! JC_01 - Thanks alot, I did'nt even notice it, = P!
