Waterdrops falling from screen

[olav Verhoeven 0]

Hi,

 

I'm looking for a way to create waterdrops that slide from my screen (like they do on a window), I don't really now where to start, create it in 3D (C4D), AE, FCP or....

 

Thse are composited over the footage I'm creating.

 

Anybody have some tips, links, plugs,...?

So if you don't want to shoot any of the background, would you just shoot the window in front of a black backdrop and do a luma key? Maybe green or blue?

[sorry, i posted a link but it doesn't work]

 

Just do a search for Water Drops. Good luck!

There is also a condensation plugin in one of the Tinderbox packs. I used to do a little bit of fill in on a project I worked on. It isn't going to look 100% right unless you use from real photos or video.

The animation looks a bit odd... all the drops fall at the same rate and stop falling more or less at the same time, and they all follow similar paths (I assume you just duplicated the one animation). I'd mix it up a bit, and do at least a few different animations and pase them at diferent rates. That or go record actual water running down a surface...
