OK, I was really busy all summer so far with all kinds of stuff. I checked in tonight to see who won the contest, and saw that the deadline was extended.

I'm going to give it a go and try to have a finished piece before the deadline. This thread is going to grow like crazy this weekend.

Keep watching this space.

How was siggraph surfing day?

OK, here is a work in progress of the dog in action. This is the first bit from the piece.

Pee Test

I'm not sure how to get rid of the chatter bit after the fluid lands on the floor. It's most noticeable around the right side by the small little piece.

Any ideas?

I'm animating this today and I'll post some more WIP soon.

i think the shots after the pee has been "peed" looks really good. My input would be that the surface tension looks a bit high. This is where the thread is going to get wierd----

When i pee on walls (at parties) i can definately tell where ive peed so id suggest a wetmap for the object texture. also- your camera angle and scale seem to demand a much for higher res. This is just a critique if you are going for a believable sim. considering your character you wouldnt need to go through all this.

Oh, and beads. Pee beads just like water when it splashes. Beading in the air i mean not on the ground.

OK, I think I have the water to a point where I can live with it. I'm doing a render of the test now. I'll post the results soon.

Here is Bosko, ready to squirt.

Haha

Absolutely awesome ! And nice idea ! There's just one thing I would have changed to make it perfect : when the dog stops peeing and look at the hydrant he's not moving at all, which is a bit unnatural. Adding some moving-hole would do the trick
