Take a drink on Cinco de Mayo!
May 5th, 2006
Hey everyone, happy Cinco de Mayo!
Here is a drawing for the water fountain in our skit. J Chad drew this up, but the fountain was too big. What was the quickest solution? Fold the paper of course!
Veronica Harper, poly modeler extrodinaire, will be modeling this. She’ll also have to model a whole other bit of geometry that the viewer will never see. That would be the proxy geometry for the fluid simulation. It’ll sit in the same space as the rendered fountain, but it will only be used to bounce water off of. Once the water goes down the drain (yes, it really does spin), a Volume Daemon will destroy it. I’ll go into that in more detail when we get to that point.
Later on!

DOH! I’ve been trumped! A nod of the hat to you, good sir. If you’re ever in Pennsylvania and want to stop by the studio, we’d love to have you.

The way you blog about water reminds me of The Simpsons when they went CG for that one Halloween episode. Back when CG was a new fantastical toy.. Homer drooled in that rippling pool. It was cool.
