How to make a waterfall?
-
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

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.

That's fantastic Pete!
How did you manage to shift that statue from Easter Island into your backyard?
Cheers Bill. -
Damn, that night shot is amazing. Out of curiousity how high was the water reflection set (always trying to learn)?

Thanks.
I could'nt move the statue, so i built the fountain around it.
alpro, water I generally set at 65%

hi pete,
thanks for the effort. my favorite is the daylight scene. somehow the night scene looks like a glass slab rather than a sheet of running water.
regards.

I agree with you, I need to find a different bump for the night effect.

Here is my attempt with a smaller fall.

I thought this might be a fun challenge. Unfortunately my end product looks like a BBQ gone wild.
Could use more 'splash' at the pool.
Have a sparkling week,

i like it CADrex, altohugh i reckon it could do with a bit less thickness. seems youve got the transparency and texturing pretty spot on thoguh.

Thanx. Yeah, the thickness is a bit much. The apparent force of water would probably 'take out' the pool
Have a sparkling day.
