infinity edge water

Anonymous — Thu, 11 May 2023 12:23:15 GMT

hi folks,

can anyone suggest some lightworks material variations to achieve the look of water flowing over the infinity/horizon edge of a pool. I've created a complex profile to replicate the uneven flow of water across the face of the pool wall and attached it as a beam. i've tried using the multilayer paint & crome setting. I dont mind trial and error but sometimes there just isnt time so if anyone has any suggestions that would be great.

thanks all

here are 2 materials for moving water
one for horizontal h2o and one for vertical
light source from under the water and surface material of the pool are other variables.

will your materials suit this pool edge with some modifications.

I'm trying to acheive water spilling over in a sheet like form not necessarily with a splashing effect

Click on image #15 below to see a sample at a larger scale.
The thickness of the vertical water, amount of transparency, sun angle etc.,
will all effect the results.
