How to create water out of particles

[Chris Smith]

Water is interesting because dependinon what form, there are completely different approaches. Rain is the easist because it’s just blurred streaks really. Particular has a preset for it.

Rivers can just be animated maps flowing down a flat plane like in a lot of games.

Water pouring in a glass is best done with metaballs or blobby surfaces. These are basically the same thing usually found in 3D packages. They have a clumping threshold so that when spherical balls get near each other, they clump together, How you set this clumping and the shader you assign to them makes them seem like water, mud, coke, whatever.

Additional note:

Things like sprays and fountains seem to look best using Sprites. If you’ve ever played with Particle Illusion or Combustion you’ll see the presets look pretty bang on. It’s a bunch of sprites with small samples of mist.

Wow Thanks chris, now iam out of obscurity about water in AE and 3D packages 🙂

You can create very realistic water with an combination of particles,vector blur and distortion effects.
I can send you some examples if you wish.

mballom,
I sent you a example of the created water. I am still digging through the project to give you an easy setup file…
Greetings, 😉

Found something…I have sent it to your mail adress.
Enjoy!
