water displacement test

little friday test i threw together working out some stuff for future projects. Water plane is a vray displaced plane.

Animation XVID codec:

how did you create the displacement animation?

is that from an animaited Normal map or something.. pretty smart.

kinda…I used reactor water and then rendered out a zdepth pass. simple but effective I think. of course for something this small, just using the reactor mesh would have sufficed… but for an ocean or something large, this is a decent workflow…

percy, what codec have you used? All i get is a green screen

its in my post. xvid codec.
