Spritz look

[Per-Anders]

there are several ways to do this, i have one that uses thinking aprticles, but you could do the same just using TDEM from Remotion ( www.remotion.de.vu ) which works with 7.3

all you do is emit at 0 speed a bunch of particles, then put them into metaball objects, and make sure the surface you're emitting from is slightly smaller than the one you're using.

another one that works pretty well is to duplicate the mesh you've got, subdivide it, then randomly select polygons, invert the selection and delete, then just extrude what's left over, and put the result in a hypernurbs objects.

another way to go is to again smooth shift down a copy of your object, just a tiny ammount, then use a noise material in the displacement channel of the smaller clone, and give that the water material, that iwll cause the water to come out of the surface a little bit in certain areas.


and as for the image size, you can either use imageready, or fireworks to save the image down to a smaller size, or use the "save for web" option from photoshop to try and get a good quality to size ratio. failing that do what most poeple do and jsut link to images on their own servers.

if you have a mac just use the default icture veiwer named preview to export and set the maxiumum export size allowable. works much better than PS.
