Waterfall wall

Anonymous — Thu, 11 May 2023 10:56:52 GMT

Hello everyone.

I'm not 100% new too archicad, but i'm not a pro either.
Currently i'm making a resturant/cafe, and behind the counter i got a wall which i would like too be a "waterfall wall".

Any suggestions about how too make it look realistic and cool?
Adding a normal water texture doesn't give the effect i'm looking after.

Cheers
Elysees.

You could try using "Complex Profile" Wall in combination with SEOs to give the Wall surface a more organic face.

The best way to visualize something like this would be to let the rendering engine handle the surface with texture and bump mapping.

I'm sure Dwight could give some good examples... Dwight?

YOu don't solve a waterfall in a moment.

The wall needs gentle articulation and a waterfall-like image mapped.

You'll need a large, single image as a texture rather than a repeating image.

Here's a page from my new Artlantis book as a hint.
