How to make a waterfall?
-
Over in the 3d world, we make waterfalls out of terrains turned sideways and then a texture added...If you would go get the free copy of Bryce 5.5 (DAZ), you could make great falls and import into Sketchup...
-
Still playing around. See what you started Edson?, now I have to add some patio stones, some greenery, maybe some outdoor furniture.
@ Tom, I explained it a few posts above yours, wanted to post a skp but file was to big. Will post some screen grabs, it's pretty simple though.Mike
-
It looks really great, Mike...
What program did you use for the renders..??And - can I ask you to send the 'skippy' to me by mail..?? frederik [at] kerkythea.net..??
-
3eighty could you post a link for the free Bryce 5.5, I couldn't find it on the DAZ site. TIA
Mike

yes, mike, quite a nice response. i have sent you a PM with my email so that you can send me the skippy when you are done.
cheers.

Thanks Frederick, I used Podium. BTW, I'm looking forward to the KT release, haven't really used KT much because I was such a rendering newbie but the new release looks awesome. Will mail you the skp, can't believe this has generated such interest as it seems pretty easy.

Edson, no didn't forget...though I do try too (I started a really complicated rendition and figured out how to make them reasonable size-wise, about a meg, and close-up good looking, but now remains the tedium of work to complete :`) I'll get there, and hopefully they'll be worth the wait.
Mike, no limit on Kelly's server...but if you'd rather, and have the time, please email to me too: tomsdrop (at) swbell (dot) net

Thanks, Mike!
Much appreciated..!!
And we also look forward to the new release... And don't worry about things... We have made plenty of video- and pdf-tutorials which will guide you through things... -
You can go a long way just in SU by using some png files. The surface tension will tend to pull the ends in slightly too.
-
That's right, Alan...
But unfortunately you can't get a real nice render with these "manipulated" models... -
Alpro> (And all others)..Here is the link for Bryce 5.5..Got any questions feel free to ask..
http://www.download.com/Bryce/3000-6677_4-10696716.html
Seems you will have to type the link in..If it doesn't work again..Simply do a Google for "Daz Bryce 5.5 free"
and the link is there..Sorry -
Interesting challenge this, I have done water with ripples but never a waterfall.
I will give it a go after my current project. (SU my favourite toy) -
Okay I found some time this Saturday morning to play with my favorite app.
First a quick setup screen capture of the hidden lines.
And then the rendering with bumped textures.
If I took more time with the mesh manipulation, texturing and vegetation layout I am sure I could reach a higher level of realism, but this is just a waterfall test and I got work to do

Pete,
Thanks for sharing the stages. It's quite helpful in getting a better understanding how you are going from SketchUp to your beautiful renders.

thanks, pete. this is a helluva waterfall.
with all the lessons i was given in this topic i'd better live up to them and present my own soon.

This is great info guys. I have a waterfall/water slide project that I never finished (client ran out of money
). So I am getting inspired -
Night shot

No wonder why they call you the "Texture King", Pete...!!
It looks really awesome..! -
NO SHIT!
Err, I mean: "WOW, Pete!"

Thanks guys, I appreciate the compliments.
