From: BT To: 3DSMAX@engram.net <3DSMAX@engram.net> Subject: Re: Water Animation Date: Tuesday, April 18, 2000 11:03 AM The Max 2 Effects magic has a phenomenal solution to a rapidly moving river using animated displacements and materials. Unfortunately, it's quite lengthy so I can't explain it to you here. -BT KdS> Hello there, KdS> My name is Kristof and i am new on this list. I got in touch with it through a friend of mine, Kurt Wendt. KdS> I have been working with max for 6 years now. I started with the version in DOS and even when max was out i continued with the DOS version. KdS> Now i completely changed to max 3.1 and i already have a lot of questions... KdS> I am creating a large animation, which is set in landscapes with hills, grass, trees and stuff like that. There should also be a river and a waterfall. I created the waterfall and the water KdS> but i have some problems with it. Near the waterfall, the water should run very rapidly. A human character should cross it and you should see his reflections in the water. KdS> The problem is that i can't get the water to move rapidly on a realistic way, together with the reflections. KdS> Has anybody got an idea, or has knowledge of a plug-in which can create these effects.
