  Making a 2D puddle

  Posted by Adam Clear on July 20, 2006 at 2:18 pm

  I’m tring to create an alpha. It’s simulating a trickle of water that puddles into a picture and continues on. See the following QT to get an idea of what I mean:

  As you can see, the mask I made (which is hand keyframed) is not the greatest. It was done quickly. Now I’m trying to decide how to get the most realistic flow without having to spend hours hand keyframing.

  Can anyone suggest a good technique? Could ‘write-on’ work?

  Jayse’s tut “Making Elements Grow” might not save you that much time but it’s the slick way to do it, give pop to the growing parts:
