Slingerland Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I can't seem to animate it. I always get some odd looking loop. The hard part is trying to tell what the white part is, which is either water or light reflection. I can't tell between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorSatyr Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 It's a reflection of clouds. The white part is light reflecting between the clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Frenzy Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 i will tell you the way i do it. Save the pallete. Then, draw all the colours on red, blue, green, yellow, and any colour you want, but all different. Then number them in the order of the current pallete, so, if you changed white with red, red is number one, then, if you used blue for the next lighest colour, blue is number 2. Then, start again with replacing colour make a copy of the coloured water for each colour of the pallete. You have the first one so, the next one, you have to colour in this order. If pallete has 4 colours, from lightest to darkest number 2 number 3 number 4 number one next image, starting a number later: number 3 number 4 number 1 number 2 and then the last frame number 4 number 1 number 2 number 3 then you will get the whole animation as in the classics. In this case, i suggest you to delete the white thing in middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't read, I'm having a hard time deciding which areas of white to animate, and which ones to leave alone, because they are reflections. And no, I don't want to delete the white part in the middle, because that is where the water shoots up from. Imagine that the fountain is 3D and picture the water shooting up from the middle. That is what the white part in the middle is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Frenzy Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 The main problem is that there is a small transition between water and the white parts. It needs spriting to make it fit. To make it 3d looking you just need to edit the metal plate under it, that looks plain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the water or just don't post anymore. I'm asking for help, because of the water. Water. Water. Water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zenor Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 hmm... Water is mirrored, so, me thinks the white ball in the center is the reflection. Just that. There isn't any clouds reflection, i think. Hard to guess what is what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 I agree with Zenor. The other white is the foam coming off of the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 I found his light source, so now it's all about animating the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenor Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Show to us, now. Also, the light source is the center. Because it's mirrored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRD Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Show to us. now.Also, the light source is the center. Because it's mirrored. Demanding, aren't we? I'll show it when you ask me in a better way. Also, he used at least 2 palettes of white for the light reflection, some of the white was also the same color white as the foam, all I had to do was use a color mask and voila. Then I just gave the light reflection a slightly different tone of white and made some edits so it wouldn't interfere with the water foam. Anyways Slinger, It's almost done, Midi's gonna do some corrections on it and it will be ready later on today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damizean Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 They aren't cloud reflections, it's a water fountain from (Aqua lake), so you should animate EVERYTHING (except that ball in the middle) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenor Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Demanding, aren't we? I'll show it when you ask me in a better way. I said in that way bacause you just said " i found the light source", but you didn't say where is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
