Lapping water effects in Piper
Vincent Serritella, Hosuk Chang, Leon J. W. Park, Ferdi Scheepers, Brett Levin · 2016
The short film Piper tells the story of a young sandpiper's first interaction with lapping water. The story is a rhythmic interplay between animated characters and water effects, whether realistic or caricatured. We describe our approach to creating lapping waves, leading edge and surface foam, and thin-surface runoff ripples. We also present a novel approach to varying the interface between wet and moist areas.
