how would one create a waterwall?

[scostumatu]

Hi all

 

Was wondering if anyone could help me out here... ive googled around and found a couple of tuts regarding a waterwall but theyre not as realistic as I want them to be... below are a couple google images of what im referring to - does anyone have any pointers on how i could achieve this?

 

either this subtle water wall:

or this more intense water wall:

any help would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks

The first sample can be done with a mix of noise maps as bump in a water/glass type of material. you can add some particles system at the bottom with a heavy motion blur on them to create the effect of water drop flying out.

The second sample also could be a mix of noise as bump and particle system, you can put a high speed on the particle system so it create a heavy motion blur on them.

Thanks very much for the insight - will look into that further and post back

 

cheers

I've done a waterwall in an animation and that's how I did it -- a bump map made of animated noise with a motion speed downward. I skipped the particle bottom, as there was no time or budget to get that fancy. The wall looked good, especially with sound.
