water/underwater transition!..

[Arte]

I think I explained how I did it a few years ago here or on the Newtek forums. Try a search:)

hmm... a few YEARS ago!?.....

Connot find it...... do you mind explaining it again!?..

Why dont you do the transition and the underwater look in compositing ? That would be a huge rendertime saver .

[Heinz]

im planning to do that!..

But i also need some tips on h ow to create that underwater feeling... with those volumetric streaks and everything....

and how should i make the transition in compositing... any tips on that!?...

i also want to make a scull fall into water.. but i need to make a realistic splash effect... any good plugins for that!?.. Particles!?..

best water dyamics progs are real flow and real wave - both of which would probally be priceless for what your doing

Depending on the speed you are moving from one to the other you could slip a quick dissolve in and just cover it by generating bubbles as you hit the water and submerge.

I like the bubble transition idea....it's worked in the past and would probably work now...:)

I did a shot like that for my short movie title. The shot is in my reel in my website

motion blur studio (http://www.motionblurstudio.com/)

I guess you can study that shot.

you know, there was a section in the LW manual (5.6) where it talked about a good technique to use when breaking the surface... can't remember right now, I'll have to look when I get home.

I think it was using a composite (foreground map maybe) to and then using a displacement on the geometry acting as the water surface.

How are you transitioning? parallel with the water or perpendicular. if you will be parallel, couldn't you use the water mesh in both sections of the composite so any waves on the top image would match up on the bottom wave. In my head (trouble there) it seems you could match the 2 shots up exact.
