  • Any tips on how to make a water line wavy?

    hi there

    ok its easier to explain if u see the animation –

    https://www.danhaskett.co.uk/bottle%20final%20test_1Mbps_Stream.mov

    basically the top line of the water which is currently wavy but static, i want it to be moving a bit when the bottles head moves back. so have it fairly flat when its down and then when it rotates back, have the water line go wavy. does anyone have any suggestions?

    i was thinking i could use a mask or something, but not sure how to give it a wavy movement. also if i could link the waviness to the rotation value of the top half that’d be graet too….

    thanks in advance!

    I love your stuff.

    How about Wave Warp, with an expression on Wave Height that ties it to rotation. Pickwhipping give you an expression:

    rotation

    Put that on Wave Height.
