From last week I wanted to choose a waterfall style project because I like the effects I found a simple animation of an island with a flowing waterfall and my aim is to add other animated effects. I found several refences that I want to use to create my final project.
I found this useful breakdown of this specific animation by Yog Joshi on art station. I plan on using his tutorial as a breakdown to animate flowing water and use it with my initial idea to use Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling water. I just need to find the best way to break down the motion of flowing water for my purposes.
This first example shows a breakdown of the initial motion and which direction the water is flowing down the cliffs. Going from the first position to the fifth position we can see the different changes in elevation affecting the flow of the water.
The next set of examples breaks down the individual pieces it takes to create the visual effect of flowing water. Using these separate pieces you can create the illusion of flowing water falls and reusing these assets you can create the effect from two different angles while still using the same assets. The animation is made with the flowing parts of water then the blue water color is added in underneath to create the effect of flowing water. The final example given by Joshi was a simple close up of some extra elements he added to add some more life to the scene.
The next step in my project is creating a background base for my subject and then ironing it out and planning with a simple story board on what I want to add animation wise.
