I have an image i have been wanting to do for sometime and i thought i would give it a go.

Now i need help with doing something in it and i have tried every way known to me including trying to make a terrain into what i want. I know you can get brushes to do it in post work but i have gone over my budget this month.

image i have posted will give you a general idea of the image i'm going to attempt to do, what i need to know how to do is make it look like water is running/falling from the creatures head and lower body. If anyone knows a way of doing this i would be so greatful for your help..

I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.

 

Well I would use one of the basic generic terrains, placing the peak of the terrain halfway up and in the centre of the creatures neck, and stretch the floor of the terrain below the water level and use a water mat (the same as the sea in your pic). Then copy the terrain and move it up just a little higher than the original and use a foam/cloud type mat on that. Hope that helps.

Another way to attempt this would be to take a treelab tree of an elongated type, perhaps a poplar or such, and assign either a foam, or water mat to the leaves and make the trunks and branches invisible. It helps quite often to stretch the tree on the "Y" also. Just use as many as needed and feel free to tweak their shape in the tree lab. This method can help make good close-up wave crests as well.

Ooooh...I do like the tree trick...you could add a water map to the trunk and foam mist to the leaves and have a fountain depending on the tree...filed for future use....thanks Dan.. ...

 

Once in a while I look around,
I see a sound
and try to write it down
Sometimes they come out very soft
Tinkling light sound
The Sun comes up again

 

 

 

 

 

He looks awfully dry for something that just popped up out of the ocean. I'd up the reflection or mettalicity on the creature materials.

How about paint white on black raindrops then import the imageinto a symmetrical lattice and apply a water material?

Sure thing Bobby, always glad to help. I think all three of these methods might work in conjunction to create credible and satisfying drips, spray, and foam.

I think there are a couple of waterfalls in the freebies that can be played about with to get what you want.

There's also an excellent water spray in the freebies..

thanks guys and gals for your suggestions.

Bryster i had not thought about using one of the watterfalls in the free stuff..
