  • video like moving water?

    Posted by Mary Waitrovich on July 6, 2005 at 3:38 pm

    I know there was a veg file around a while back that used bump mapping to create the effect of text that looked like it was moving on top of water, rippling with the water. Can anyone post a link to the veg file or explain how it was done?

    thanks,

    I think the VEG file you want may be found here:

    Put your water video on track one.
    Put your text on track two.

    Change the compositing mode of track one to Custom and add the Height Map. Make track two a compositing child of track one.

    Oops.. one more step if you want to the text on top of the water:
    Add the water again on track 3.
