Building scenes involving water introduces a unique set of hurdles to overcome for the 3D artist. Water can affect the lighting , mood and the look of materials in your scene and it’s vital to understand how you can adjust the characters, props, materials and colors to ensure the resulting render will work and that the realism will shine!

Ensuring that the “physics” or effects of water are represented in a scene such as bubbles, foam, splashes, ripples, whirlpools, waves and wakes can also take some doing, but with the right observations and resources all of these challenges can be conquered in this tutorial by Tiffanie Grey.

About Tiffanie Gray

Tiffanie is known as Dakorillon and Immortal Moments Art to the art world on the web. She has been selling at Renderosity and HiveWire3D since 2016. She has been using PD Howler (known as Project Dogwaffle), since version 1.1a in 2001. She originally started using PD Howler since it’s a natural fit for artists that have a traditional background ? and so began learning it with glee! She now uses Howler for nearly everything to do with digital art and content creation. Since 3D artwork is becoming an indispensable tool in her box of tricks, she is happy that Howler still works so well with these new tools.

All of her art experience is self taught, she read books or took small workshops to learn traditional art. Howler, then Daz Studio, Poser, Hexagon and other art programs she has added were by the the same method. She primarily focuses on fantasy and science fiction, but also creates still lifes, landscapes and portraits. She also uses her images in book cover designs and web design.
