how do you make the ripple effect on the ground?

3. On vendredi 29 avril 2005 à 01:04, by AS

Its really good, but i got a problem: the raindrops arent falling down, there arent moving!
Why?
Thx

4. On vendredi 29 avril 2005 à 10:03, by olivS

Darren: To get the ripple effect, you need the plugin water available for download on http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~mein/blender/plugins/. It was stated in the intro of the article

AS: I'm sorry, your question is not precise enough. In the Effects tab, did you set for the particles a Norm value? Perhaps also play with a Z force value...

"Its really good, but i got a problem: the raindrops arent falling down, there arent moving!

Same problem please help

6. On vendredi 20 mai 2005 à 17:11, by Seihes

You need to set a norm so that the particles would move. You can also "simulate" a general force working on the particles through the Z-Y-X forces... Try setting some of those.

I am interested in the ripple effect. How does it work? I mean, the plugin?

7. On lundi 11 juillet 2005 à 15:31, by Anthony

I don't even see them

8. On mercredi 10 août 2005 à 11:28, by Liar

Ihave problem too. I've set up everything like in this tutorial but rain drop isn't falling. It's stay in grid why??? all prticles are falling down without raindrop... is it problem with paenting?? (I,ve selecten first raindrop later grid and do ctrl+p in object mode).

9. On jeudi 11 août 2005 à 08:31, by olivS

Seihes: for the plugin, I didn't investigated much how it works; by playing with a few settings, I quickly came to this result.

Anthony: In the Effects tab, make sure you gave to the Norm button a value. Or perhaps do you face the same trouble as Liar?

Liar: in the Anim settings pannel, did you turned 'on' the DupliVerts button?

Rain still falls through everything :| even with deflection turned on.. Any help?

11. On lundi 10 avril 2006 à 22:47, by andrew

how do you do queation 2 with the box there and the line going through the bottom of it it will probably be eaisier if there was a video tutorial

12. On mardi 11 avril 2006 à 15:21, by olivS

CyberKronik: did you make sure that the obstacle has deflection turned on, not the particles?

Andrew: I'm sorry , but I couldn't understand your question. Could you clarify it? Concerning the video tutorial, I'm not fond of these... I don't plan to make any of them, sorry!

14. On vendredi 2 juin 2006 à 21:14, by olivS

DJR: I know you don't mean harm, but please don't shout in the comments Your comment is not related to this tutorial, and I wondered a lot if I should moderate it or not. Finally, I moderated it, but only to answer you: for such kind of request, please join a community based forum such as http://www.blenderartists.org. Cheers!

After pressing F7 I get the constraints tab but the effects tab does not appear next to it. How do I fix this? Thanks

16. On lundi 1 janvier 2007 à 14:28, by Ash

Johann, I am having the same problem. I think in the most recent version of blender maybe the effects tab is called something else, and located elsewhere?

17. On samedi 24 février 2007 à 18:19, by aaron

Hi I got a question about blender. How cna you make games with them?? is their any games that been made with blender?? I downloaded the plug-ins from the site you refered about the water plug-in. I am a noob at blender I have seen and downloaded for 3 year's but never really used it, to me look's complex interface.
I learned some python a while back and hopeing to make a game using blender game engine, does the game engine function like any other game engine, meaning allows menus all the other stuff?

18. On mercredi 28 février 2007 à 17:26, by Hkšo

Do you have any other tutorials????

19. On samedi 3 mars 2007 à 02:49, by Mehlhorn

I notice after downloading the final blend file, The partical pass throught the mesh.

and the permability is set to 0 which means the partical should not pass through the mesh.

Are you sure you are doing the right steps?.

I am having the same probem with partical deflection.
Not working.
even after recalculating

20. On samedi 3 mars 2007 à 02:57, by Mehlhorn

I notice after I have downloaded the blender file final, that the partical are passing through the meshes. and the permability is 0 which means the partical will not pass through the meshes.

I think you may be missing a step.
I have talked to blender about the problem and there is a problem, with this partical deflection. Even after setting up a simple scean and Recalculating the Partical will still pass through the mesh. I have set everything the same for the deflector Plane mesh as in Blender tutorial and the partical emitter and normals are pointing in the right direction, facing the particals. The keys are set to 100 and I have tried many variations after selectin recalculate. The partical still pass through the mesh. The Permability in 0 percent and the other settings are set for a bounce from the plance surface.
The particals will not bouce and go thought the mesh. after selecting recaluclate.

Are you able to help?
What is missing?.

I Tried To Follow The Turtorial On How To Make Rain But The Problem Is I Can't Find Some The Stuff It's Telling Me To Go To. Like The Effect Tools. Can't Find It Nowhere. I Am New To This Program And I Find It Very Complicated. Plus When It's Telling Me To Use The S Or G Key And Set It At A Certain Number Do I Punch In The Number Or Just Set It With The Mouse. Thank You. PS. Maby Some More Screen Shots Will Help Like How To Set The Stuff At The Right Heigh Or Number

22. On mardi 24 avril 2007 à 11:08, by siditty

How do you open the file: makerain.tar.gz, because I can´t open it in Blender until I "fully open it" but how do I fully open it?

23. On mercredi 2 mai 2007 à 22:41, by visiox

hi siditty. open a shell and type following ->
tar xzf makerain.tar.gz
now you should have a file with an .blend extension. open that.

24. On mardi 15 mai 2007 à 23:33, by Dave

I make a render, but I can't see the drops!!

27. On lundi 11 juin 2007 à 16:41, by mac

i did not know how to open the file with blender.

Please some one help me!!!!!

28. On mardi 26 juin 2007 à 00:53, by Blender maniac

In the new version of Blender, most of the buttons and names you used have changed or dissapeared. It would be great if you could update the website once in a while.
PS: I have the same problem as Mac and others, I CANNOT open the file.(Maybe its because im using a Mac or a wrong navigator?)
thx if anybody could help me with my problems.

29. On mardi 3 juillet 2007 à 22:40, by Danielson

Hi, i've been working on blender for about six months now and I LOVE it.
Thx for putting in your time to help others W/this great tutorial...I LOVED IT!
I also never thought rain could be so much FUN!
Anyways I still had minor problems
This is going to sound crazy but I dont know how to open files in blender..like the 1 you posted for download...I would be greatly happy if I could know how...W/easy directions plz....THX!

Réponse de olivS le mercredi 15 août 2007 à 11:49

.tar.gz is a common file format in the Unix/Linux world, but you should not have any trouble to open it with WinZIP and other Windows or Mac unzippers. I'll try to set on the website many different file formats for download, though.

30. On jeudi 12 juillet 2007 à 18:49, by SC(+)PE

Thanks for the great tutorial, i used the method to make it raining monkey heads that bounce, thanks a million.

31. On mercredi 26 septembre 2007 à 12:30, by Vic Demise

Just wanted to thank you and all the people who put together these tutorials out of the goodness of your hearts (or is it an eveil plan to make us waste our lives sitting in front of our computers, blending our lives away...) Either way.

32. On vendredi 28 septembre 2007 à 03:19, by codepigeon

Thanks to the author for taking the time to write the tutorial.

However, this article has some serious defects. Following the directions as written, I could not get the results the author did. A proper tutorial needs to be written step by step with explinations of what should be seen on the screen as the user enters the commands (to help the user find an error they made in the steps).

In addition, a lot of the steps in this tutorial "breeze" over specific things that should be done. Remember that when you write a tutorial you need to add text that SPELLS out things that YOU may be doing or thinking menatlly.

The reader may not always be in the same line of thought as you.

Especially when the tutorial is somehow almost three years old: a few things changed since then, and I suppose I'll have to update the tutorial a bit. Be sure I've always kept your advices in mind

33. On dimanche 21 octobre 2007 à 17:23, by IRAN CARNEIRO

Hi somebody just sent me the Blender Web Site, i already downloaded it, i m a 3d max user, the question is : may i replace 3d Studio Max by Blender? which book should i buy to understand how to work with the Blender?
Appreciate your attention.
Iran Carneiro

Réponse de olivS le dimanche 21 octobre 2007 à 17:45

Hi Iran Carneiro, Obviously yes, you could replace 3DS max by Blender, but it doesn't mean you should. You really have to state what you are using 3DS max for (hobby, professional work, game design, etc.?) and ponder all the strengths and weaknesses of both Blender and 3DS max in the most appropriate fields. Anyway, Blender improves each day at a very fast pace so it could be very interesting to add it to your everyday tools in any case. What is your nationality? There are good Blender books in many languages. The "Essential Blender" (http://www.blender3d.org/e-shop/product_info.php?products_id=96) from the Fondation is very good to start with, but shouldn't bring you to a very high level with Blender regarding what you can already do, perhaps, with 3DS max. If you are interested by character animation, then "Introducing Character Animation" is a must-read (http://www.blender3d.org/e-shop/product_info.php?products_id=95). I can't be more specific without knowing more about you. I invite you to join the Blender community at Blenderartists.org: http://blenderartists.org/forum/ and to post your questions there. You will get guidance about shifting from 3DS max to Blender from people who already made the leap.

Man, where the heck is that effects tab in Bender 2.45 ? i can`t find it NOWEHERE...

Réponse de olivS le samedi 24 novembre 2007 à 08:51

Hey Cristy, things can move quite quickly in Blender. I really have to update this tutorial. You should currently (Blender 2.45) find the particles options in: Object menu [F7], Physic buttons, Particles pannel

36. On vendredi 21 décembre 2007 à 06:56, by satish

hi, but a little satisfaction, I am just bignner of blender, ok

37. On samedi 5 janvier 2008 à 16:50, by Andre Lima

In my blender don`t show the tab effects in object mode(see the number five of this lesson)...what is the problem??It will be some configuration that i don`t made??someone help me please!!

Réponse de olivS le samedi 5 janvier 2008 à 18:11

oh well... I really have to update my oldest tutorials. Right, I promise I'll do within the next six months... For the moment, don't be afraid, nithing is missing, it's just that Blender's interface is living, and is sometimes slightly (or heavily) re-ordoned. That's the case here. For the official 2.45 Blender version as of today, the Effects tab has been replaced by two new tabs (called Particles and Particle Motion) in the menu Object [F7], Physics Buttons.
