Anyone know where I can get a free "splash"? I've got several aquatic figures who'd love to make an appearance above water... I already got the water crown prop here in Frestuff, but it's for a small object. I need one for a big, dense object and have no idea how to model one myself.

Have you looked at Dr Geep's Wave function tutorial? See attached link.

Thanks but that just makes a smooth wave. I need a splash. A big splash, with droplets of water going everywhere. That kind of thing can be done with postwork but I don't know how.

Well, since it's likely for an image you have in mind, I prolly can't be of much help, but I will see what I can come up with for ya -- it's just gonna be about 8th on my list :(

Well actually I just want something "general purpose". I do have an image in mind - the Daz hippocampus jumping out of the water - but I've always done a lot of water pics in various media, so anything you can come up with would be greatly appreciated. I saved that water crown prop I mentioned, and bookmarked the Geep wave tut, because I know I'll use them eventually ;)

Here's a quickie that may or may not work. I tried to shape it for easy animation, so that you can change the Ytran and scale at appropriate moments to get the right effect. The prop is just the mushroomy thing, not the water. Zip will put it in a folder named Tiler under Props.

Are you using Poser 4 or Poser 5?
Asked becuase looking at ockham's version gave me an idea which is rendering in p5 right now using a variation of the water shader I created for my island set due out from Odd Ditty Foundry on Monday. The prop created utilizes some funky mapping, but it has some great potential, so if you are using P4 I'll work real quick on a texture & transmap

Poser 5. And thanks ockham! Pretty neat, thanks!

gimmie a bit for the render (going to turn off ray tracing, lol)

ok, here's how it came out without ray tracing. need to tweak the texture a bit, but it's a start and can likely have it by tomorrow evening

Ooh, purty! Great, thanks! Take your time, y'all's help is greatly appreciated.

Here's an example of a scene I need a splash for. An "entry" splash isn't that hard, but I need an "exit" splash. Nothing spectacular, just a base to go from.

This should do it. it has four morphs for shape, so one of them should kick i tup a notch. Here's two renders -- first one that's out of place...

and a terrible render but good for showing it in use. color is easily changed

Also, look in the Vue section of the Rendo freebies - there's a recent addition called "Water Crown" in Obj format. Added to the above effects, in particular, it may make the splash more realistic-looking.

aprilrosanina - Er, I said I got that already and it's an entry splash made by a small object. ynsaen - Awesome! That's perfect, thankyou!! Everybody - Thankyou for going through so much trouble just for lil ol' me :D Glad I can count on y'all ^_^

that's cool!

Forester in the MP sells several packs of splashes, etc... for Poser and Vue

No, I haven't been IM'd yet and the prop isn't on Odd Ditty Foundry. :) ynsaen is working on several projects and is quite busy I'm sure :)
