Oh won't one of you geniuses please, create a turtorial on how to make water!!! Standing water, running water, dripping and splashing water.....whoa is me, in need of the water tutorial....

[Dave]

The dripping and splashing water in 3-D border breakouts is the form that gets me.

[Lexus]

i can might be able to make one, but i know how to do it, but am rubbish at it!!
if i get time, i'll try

[Dave]

Tutorial 1 - using filters Texture (http://www.depiction.net/tutorials/photoshop/watertexture.php)

Tutorial 2 - another version
Simpler than above (http://www.tutorialpark.com/water-texture.php)

Tutorial 3 - droplets
Condensation on can (http://www.tutorialpark.com/waterdrops.php)

Tutorial 4 - "splashing" water
ripples (http://www.webdogpro.com/content/view/87/79/) but no foam!

[Lexus]

is what Dave gave you what you need? or do you want it like, making water to flood out somewhere? If so, buy the book: How to cheat in Photoshop by Steve Caplin, that has a great tutorial on how to do it.

Thanks Dave and Lexus :)

Tutorial 4 is my favorite. I am hoping for something a bit more realistic. No more buying for me Lexus, accountants orders!

[Siouxie]

really realistic Water isn´t that easy to do in photoshop,

If i need some water i do it most of t he time in some 3dprogram, it´s much easier there

[Lexus]

Make a new pic of a big size (1024x768) and use clouds
then ocean ripple it
then use ctrl+U to get the Hue and saturation up, and make it a nice blue
then put a new layer and plastic wrap it to give it some white on the waves maybe a dissolve layer style? Just play around.

Then add that pic to another one, fiddle around with the perspective and play around to make somewhere look flooded. Thats a really rubbish tut, plus its also from the top of my head I'll post a small part of the water to show you what it comes out like.


EDIT: IGNORE ABOVE, UNTILL I REALISE WHERE I WENT WRONG!!
Thankyou :)

This may not help you if you don't have access to Photoshop User Magazine, but in the June 2005 issue there's a great explanation of how to make realistic rain, puddles, and raindrop ripples in the puddles.

[Dave]

Well, now we know why you asked Linda, so how about telling us your technique! :)

[ldg40]

Gotta love the "masking"! And a great source picture! ;)

[Dave]

I think you just about nailed 60%+ of any good PS tutorial, the source image and masking have to be great! :)

There's also a tutorial on waterdrops at photoshopuser.com (http://www.photoshopuser.com/members/tutorials/mattk/040403.php), but once again you need to be a member of NAPP (which gets you the photoshop User Magazine).

What's the deal with rewriting someone's tutorial. It seems like once a technique is out there it isn't really "owned" by someone. Is rewriting it, and giving credit to the author legitimate?

I checked out Dave Cross' blog and followed his link to the Photoshop Cafe and found a tutorial on "Water Drops".
