  Controlling CC Drizzle effect

  Posted by Scratchy_bollock on May 4, 2007 at 6:34 pm

  Hi,

  I’m trying to create a water ripple effect in After Effects 7 viewed from above. CC Drizzle pretty much gives me the exact look I’m going for but the problem is I only want one ripple that I can place where I want in the composition(Instead of the random assortment it generates on screen at any one time). Bit like that bit in Donnie Darko I guess where he touches the mirror. Is this possible?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Cheers,

  Ian Gray

  You can use Effect>Distort>Ripple, or for a greater degree of control (and render time) you can use Effect>Simulation>Wave World. Look for tutorials on the latter if you’re confused, or post again for specific information. The basic idea is you would render it as a height map and then use this as the source for a displacement map.

  Thanks for that, I’ll have a look at the tutorial and try and figure it out.

  Cheers,
