Water effect from a 'top down' perspective..

Greetings smart folks,

I was reading this tutorial:

https://coronalabs.com/blog/2013/11/07/tutorial-repeating-fills-in-graphics-2-0/

And saw a video at the end which demonstrated a water effect… which is exactly what I wanted to be able to duplicate.

I looked for sample projects within the Corona stuff and couldn’t find any - is there a github project for what’s exactly in that video?  The tutorial in link pretty much covers what I need, I guess the only thing I want to know is the graphics for the water… Using my own graphics to mimic such - would a gradient type blue image give off the same effect if used in the same way as example?  Does there need to be transparency set in the image or is that all handled in the effects part of the code?
 

Also wanted a more ‘cartoony’ water effect - is this something that needs to be done in the water image, or using one of the graphics 2.0 effects?

Any techniques to get an effect that resembles this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance

Hi @henson802,

The “water effect” demo you’re speaking about is located in your local Corona application folder, and also on GitHub (same project):

CoronaSDK-XXXX > SampleCode > Graphics > PatternFill

https://github.com/coronalabs/samples-coronasdk/tree/master/Graphics/PatternFill

You should be able to replace the water “tile” used and customize it for your own visual preference.

Take care,

Brent

Ahh can’t believe I missed that, thanks @Brent Sorrentino !

I’ll experiment around with it.
