infinity edge water

Anonymous
Not applicable
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.

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.
