water texture

Look at this tutorial and see how created the ‘look’ of water.

Thanks, but it can’t help me because I didn’t use particles, I use little circle shapes for having that glass filling effects, so I can’t play with shading.All other effects I knew for having liquid effect

If you can upload a CS6 version of what you did, I’d take a look at it.

I downloaded your video and messed around it. Created some alpha channels with some keys and then used those as displacement maps on a layer to create refraction. If you can separate the highlights and add them back over your displaced footage I think you’d get a lot closer than trying to come up with a color as a texture.

Here’s what I made, maybe it will spark some ideas for you: 7794_watertexturefolder.zip

You might steal a technique or two from here [link].

However, the old-school Caustics effect might be useful as well. Check out this old tut [link].

thans but style is another and can’t help me, and I didn’t steal anything))

here is the CS6 Ae project file

Please if you can make it on alpha and explain how to make that shadings

I didn’t mean “steal” like to thieve something. I meant, like, to borrow a technique. To take an idea and re-apply it.

So I downloaded your file. To make an alpha channel, just turn off the “Pale Royal Blue” solid. Then I changed the solid in precomp 1 to pure white. At this point I rendered out “comp 3) to a Quicktime_Animation file with an alpha, to work faster.

I then created a final composition and dragged in a video layer(the picture of the cat). I added comp 3 and put this on the bottom of the stack. I added a displacement effect to the video layer and set “comp 3” as the displacement layer and adjusted the settings.

Next I made a new comp called “highlights” dragged in the cat and water layers, put the cat on the bottom and set the track matte to “alpha matte”. I dropped this into my final comp, added a levels effect to boost the whites, then the CC glass effect. Then I just changed the tranfer mode of this layer to “Lighten” and all done.

The thing with water, is it doesn’t have a color/texture, it distorts what you see behind it.

Here’s my quick little project(I didn’t include the pre-rendered water file, it’s too big): 7795_jurfinalfolder2.zip

ok, Thanks a lot, I have understand everything, I wanted to make it on alpha channel, I can make it but it will not shown before puting image or texture behind it.

Thanks one more time!

Have you tried Mr.Mercury effect. It can give you a more realistic looking water if you set it on the same path as the water, you might have to set your masks on top afterwards. You might need an alpha channel though.
