Water Simulation visual style

Waves, floods, underwater. Study this look for your storyboard frames before planning motion and editing.

About the Water Simulation style

Visual characteristics

Water simulation VFX in feature-film ocean-work style. FLIP fluid solver with photorealistic surface tension and viscosity. Complex wave interactions with Kelvin wake patterns, foam spray following Weber number physics. Light refracting through transparent water mass, caustic patterns dancing on underwater surfaces. Subsurface scattering in deep water transitioning from cyan to deep blue.

Color palette

Colors specified in the preset recipe, not a guarantee for every generated frame.

  • #ffffff
  • #006994
  • #87ceeb
  • #000080

Adapt the preset recipe

Select and copy the recipe below as a starting point. In Storyboard, choose My styles, create a custom style and open Advanced mode. Adapt the wording to your scene and the editor's 1,000-character limit; a Studio preset is not imported automatically. Camera and film references describe the intended look, not equipment used to create the preview or guaranteed animation.

Transform the scene into water simulation VFX in feature-film ocean-work style. FLIP fluid solver with photorealistic surface tension and viscosity. Complex wave interactions with Kelvin wake patterns, foam spray (#FFFFFF) following Weber number physics. Light refracting through transparent water mass (#006994), caustic patterns (#87CEEB) dancing on underwater surfaces. Subsurface scattering in deep water transitioning from cyan to deep blue (#000080).

Plan shots in the Water Simulation look

  1. Step 1: Study the visual recipe

    Compare the Water Simulation still preview with the visual notes below. Choose which lighting, palette and framing cues belong in your shot list.

  2. Step 2: Build your storyboard

    Open a new Storyboard, add your script and character references, then choose its style separately. To adapt this recipe, paste it into a custom style in Advanced mode.

  3. Step 3: Review before video

    Review the generated frames for continuity. A still does not specify motion, pacing or audio; plan those as separate decisions for your video.
