Nic H Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Im doing a scene which needs animated puddles with rain and animated drops of water in puddles. Im fine with the rain but the animated texture of ripples im having trouble doing I remember years ago there was a freeware rain and ripple generator from kerlin softworks that I cant find anymore. Does anyone know where I could get a similar product from? I rekcon if I knew after effects well I could do it in there....but I dont! Any pointers to commercial products / freeware / tutorials anywhere guys? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koper Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 hey Nic, I do have something for you that i'm working on, its a pfsource system that uses shapemark to create maps ontop of any given object that you assign. I have only gotten so far as to create the marks of the droplets. the problem now is to get it to render, and i think one must use it with the video post in max, not sure. tell me if you want it and i'll upload it here, but then any developments made on it must be posted back here. the beauty of it is that you can assign an animated texture to the map (raidail gradient or something) which will simulate the ripples.

Matt Clementson Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I think there was a rain/ripple map generator in the Blur plugin pack - might be worth checking maxplugins.de to see if there's a version for MAX 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quizzy Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 hey matt, you right on target... its in the blur-plugin pack, also available for max9-32 and 64.... I dont think it reacts on pflow or other particles for that matter, but who cares, the effect will be convincing enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
