Effects

CAn anybody tell me how to make that cool water ripple effects in teh bacground of this pic. http://www.anime-gods.com/wallpaper/dragonball_z/1.jpg

And can you tell me as much as you can about how he made that pic

alright, maybe for the background you can use this tutorial and modify it a bit yourself.

After the background is made you past a couple of anime-characters in and just play with the layermodes and opacity-settings...

that's my guess

NL thanks man the background was perfect. If anybody else knows how to do teh opacity things then please help.

I know how to make some bad ass water. . . .

Step 1:
Make your selection and use the filter render clouds. make sure your colors are black and white.

Step 2:
Render diffrence clouds 2 or 3 times (3 is better if u ask me)

Step 3:
Filter sketch chrome with settings of smoothness of 7 and a detail of 4

Step 4:
Hold down ctrl + shift and press F. then apply the filter with 50%
Do this again but with 30%

Step 5:
change hue and saturation to whatever you want ^_^

i'm sorry...but
i've tried both methods and it doesn't look
anything like a ripple/water/wave

i've tried myself...can't figure it out either...
also slippy, i went to the site i couldn't see any
ripple effect...so i can't visiuallize if i have the
same problem as u...

but i need help

thanx

Slippy emailed me and said it helped, so either you did my tutorial wrong or you don't know what layered water looks like ^_^

...maybe i did it wrong...but i doubt it...
pretty basic steps (you put layed it out very nicely - gj)

but i want a ripple...
i've been experimenting...but
some of my filters aren't working...
