THE PLACE FOR ALL THINGS BRYCE - GOT A PROBLEM? YOU'VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE


Subject: A finite water plane? (Is that possible)

Well I am making this picture that needs both a water plane and a ground plane. But no matter what it is either one or the other so my question is, is there a way to make a water plane that has finite dimensions other than a a voulmetric water slab.

What about trying to apply a water material to a 'square'. Just tried it and I think it might do what you need. Diane B

You are a very bright person Picnic. After posting I tried that and it did work although it is terribly see through. Thanks for the help Tempest

Maybe you should try lowering the transparency. I know this sounds crazy, but try it, it may work =) . -Adam

Thanks G. Try going into your material lab and mess about with the bump, diffusion and transparency (depending upon which water material you are using). I was able to make it much less transparent. Diane B

I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish, but another technique could be to slightly rotate each plane so that they merge at a certain point and each goes up from there. Or rotate the ground plane so only it goes up. But I think picnic's idea would probably be the best.

Yep! As Diane said the way to go here is to use a Square. Spike

Just thought of one more way You could use a terain. If done corectly could give some cool efects. Spike
