Water drop / ripple
Hi all,
Could anyone help me out here with creating a water drop ripple effect? Basically my aim is to key frame water drops to music, where the key frams is the point in which the drop hits the water. I havent really found an effect that quite does what I want it to do (the ripple effect). CC Drizzle doesnt look like its controlable as far as drop placement. Ripple just does waves not a nova-like ripple. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks! -

Might make a good starting point.

it’s not a tutorial but a thread with a project file and an image. Maybe this is what you’re looking for.

when I first started looking at the cow I spent a lot of time searching the forum for things that I wanted to learn how to do and made a list in excel. I still go back to it all the time. In this thread there’s a sample movie and an AE file and there’s the photo that’s used in the aep a little further up.

You probably don’t want to spend any money, but the new Trapcode Form may be just what you’re looking for: rippling water set to music.. It also does some other really cool stuff.
