water effects

[mex]

Can anyone tell me a ANIMATION software which can create water effects like rain, waves, clouds and the like....

need it urgently.

Go to swishzone.com and download Swish 2.0 (don't go
for SwishMax--it's a little too advanced, if you're a
beginner).

For some samples go to designsxchange.com

here's one from their FX downloads:

rain and clouds are super easy with Swish and there are lots
of samples of both at DXC.

Any special reason?

Any special reason?

I can't think of one.

However, you could try to use Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop
and develop custom "hand drawn" images frame by frame
until you have the complete animation.

Or, you can just get a copy of Swish or Flash and use the
"tweening" features to produce a far better result in about
1/100th of the time.

If you're afraid that a .swf file isn't as universally browser
supported as a .gif file, all major browsers have been
bundling the Flash player with at least the past 3 generations.
The only drawback is the recent IE change which requires a
.swf to be embedded in a .js file.

Another important consideration is that Swish and Flash
drawing tools generate vector graphics which will "scale"
automatically to the user's screen resolution.

Thanx for the reply and all the help.....

Oh Paul, i dont have any special reason :( sorry about that.....actually i want it to be a gif file and not a swf file coz' some computers specially which r not access to internet doesn't supoort swf file though they can get it from the net.....Its pretty confusing for new users!!!! guess thats one of the reason...

have a nice day.

it's very simple to convert .swf into .gif anyway, just open it up in flash, and export as gif, no probs.

as if IE wasn't rubbish enough as it is, some idiots decide to make a point and sue microsoft for a crummy html tag :mad:
