Time, space, direction and force are established per-rig, then varied per-column and per-point. The rig is a modular array of similar nodes. Inspiration In traditional 2D feature animation, water splash effects exhibit a strong artistic style, of which the following qualities are characteristic: A dynamic silhouette A strong leading edge Discernible interior columns Larger-than-life droplets anticipating the leading edge Holes torn in the sheet From left to right: one rig, twenty columns, forty points. This method was employed for many of the splash effects in Ice Age: The Meltdown. This sketch identifies stylized visual qualities found in traditionally animated 2D water splash effects and establishes a method for capturing their essence, posing and animating them in 3D space.
Several particle systems are utilized, each with its own unique objective in conveying the style, and can be modified to adapt to various artistic looks. Particle emitters are constrained to these nodes, and the particles inherit their velocities. Description what describe the timing and physical profile of the splash.
