    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,
