Title: Waterspout
Post by: Dune on June 01, 2011, 04:33:04 AM
Saw some nice images on tv, and thought I could make that in TG2. I don't know the proper English word though, water spout or cyclone... (waterhoos).

Windwhirl/Hurricane is een windhoos...maar waterhoos? Waterwhirl? :) No idea...

Looking pretty good btw!

Poseidon's  legs. Great looking waterspout.

The water is no good yet, but here's another version.

I wouldn't like to be those fishermen!
Looks cool, pretty much like the one I saw on TV yesterday.

Slightly modified central 'slurf' and accompanying whirl. Note the fishing vessel.

SUPER DUPER!
You just keep pushing the limit of this gizmo! Excellent art!

So realistic, especially the second and third. And, I don't see the vessel ...sunk? This is special creativity by you.

Great! I prefer the last one, although it's a little bit too smooth imho.

Another version with a hollow funnel and accompanying circular sidewind moist upheaval, but I need to get rid of the grain in the funnel... (now you'll see the vessel). No post.

Still grainy, but I've got an idea....

I have never seen a real one of these. The latest image looks quite good.

Got rid of the grain and made some fake water, which decreased render time (total 1.33 hr @ 0.5 and AA4).

Most impressive work! Looks like the real thing

Btw if I may ask... im curious how you made this.. Did you use blue nodes or did you go with the simple shape shader  + warp -route? I remember experimenting with simple shape shader and the results were something similar, but not as good as I'd liked

It's a set of warped simple shapes indeed. Some made into a ring, warped on the Y.

"Gasp!" Quoted from the skipper in the first two images.
