Water, water everywhere...

[dhamphir]

So... I've been experimenting. I've discovered that making water animated, and getting it to look just the way I want it to, is quite a challenge. So without further ado, here are some animated water banners. Let me know what you think, so I can continue to improve.

Thanks, SJ. I'm still learning and hope to get better at it. As for the waterfall... there's still a LOT of room for improvement. But I'm just glad I got the water to flow in the correct direction! *lol*

I'm glad you like them. Enjoy. :D

That was my problem. Backwards water! (SHHHH--don't tell anyone)

I left off playing around with animation for the last year because I got to a level of frustration trying to pick things up on my own and of course, no time.

I still have a list of things to try--that hopefully will come.

One thing--experiment with different speeds. The dock/water banner has the sun rays moving very fast. Again, it is personal taste or you need the quicker timing for the water. It's fun to try different things though.

The challenge is getting decent animation under 40K. That is where a slower frame speeds comes in handy.

Yeah, I've been experimenting quite a bit, tweaking different settings one at a time to see how it affects the waves.

You're right about the 40kb thing too! *S*
