Hudson 22 Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) Hello people! I wanted to share a quick project I did during three weeks in order to get though the flip-pipe: http://vimeo.com/76361368 I modeled this little robot which I wanted to make a water simulation from. Then I saw Battleship and Pacific Rim... The poor robot got up-scaled by a factor of 30 and you can guess what happaned Sound FX was made by Rickard Forsbäck Special thanks to Martin W and for all the tips. Also David Vestin and Igor Zanic for the constructive critics in the early WIPs. Maya - Robot modeling and animation Houdini - used for the rest of all 3D-content. Rendered with Mantra(PBR) Nuke - was used for the composition it is 1080p Let it load and enjoy! Edited October 9, 2013 by Hudson 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NSugleris 7 Posted October 8, 2013 Awesome! Did you render your splash / foam out as particles or did you use the built in volume foam? Mantra Renderer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hudson 22 Posted October 8, 2013 Thank you! I used the built in to try it out.I will try something different next time as a comparison. something I did not have time to try and really wanted to was to replicate the points in render time. I had to put the intensity a bit high to get some whiteness and the tiny scattering I obtained around the robot once the particles flew up. My env-light was a bit dark behind the camera so it looked like a purple mud in my first tests. Yesir Mantra PBR all the way. I am glad you liked it. I seriosly didn't think I would even dare to post it when I first started to sim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sty 2 Posted October 9, 2013 very nice man! great flip showing in... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hudson 22 Posted October 9, 2013 very nice man! great flip showing in... Thank you! I appreciate you like it. I should maybe give this one a little more time and add a camera motion based on the ocean to add a feeling that it is on a boat. Also improve the ocean shader as well. Give it a bit foam and details Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ikarus 67 Posted October 10, 2013 Great look development on the different water parts, looks swanky. Prob coulda blasted away more of the mesh in the air if its supposed to be going thru massive pressure, but thats just my2cents. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hudson 22 Posted October 10, 2013 Great look development on the different water parts, looks swanky. Prob coulda blasted away more of the mesh in the air if its supposed to be going thru massive pressure, but thats just my2cents. Thank you! Just added swanky to my english dictionary. Your 2 cents is a good deal and are completely right. The particle separation in this sim is around .28 because of it's size. So a single point seemed a bit big standing alone. So I tried to keep it together with a bit smoothing in the sim and compesate by creating a large amount of white water particles. It did not turn out the way I wanted to tho. I am not completely sure about my robot animation either. comparing the gravity applied to the water, the robot seems to fall too fast. But I could make it look more realistic if I manage to make the changes you suggested (blast up the mesh based on the pressure) and create a lot of other mist and droplets with a smaller pscale and white water particles. In the near futere I believe the RAM in my workstation will be doubled up and I could probably add more resolution to all aspects of this simulation. Thank you for the tips. I will take it into acount whenever I have time to go back to this one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hudson 22 Posted October 11, 2013 (edited) Awesome work! Like your models best! Thank you! Really? The model was the thing I spent less time working with. Maybe I should texture and shade it... Edited October 11, 2013 by Hudson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Follyx 25 Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) really good stuff this.... any chance to get the file? Edited October 14, 2013 by Follyx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hudson 22 Posted October 15, 2013 really good stuff this.... any chance to get the file? Thank you! A hip-file?.. I would gladly help you out if you have a specific question but a hip is a bit much to ask for... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
