Barrel Floating in Water

Before I start designing it I wanted to check if there could be alternative ways of creating this.

Water is going to have some opacity, and I would like a Barrel to float in the water, and the part "below" the water should be a different color (Probably "Blueish").

That would be 3D stuff of course, and currently I can only think of creating an animation of a barrel that is already colored as if under-water.

But any other ideas on this :) ?

make blue water with opacity and put barrel behind water object ^^

I have some more ideas but they depends on how you want your water to look like ;)

And for the physics , apply a force toward the sky when the boat is under water !

I think A picture might show what the problem is that I am talking about:

Only other thing besides drawing on the Barrel I can think of would be to create a small piece of water in front of it.

I have done that. I masked the bottom part to be transparent and rest of the barrel I left with normal opacity. It looks great with some sine animation making it go up and down.

This post makes me want to drink wine, or rum!

nemo - how did you do the mask? Is it on the PNG itself, or in C2?

It's just a regular sprite with some transparent part at the bottom.

okay ! I understood !

Make a water sprite in front of your barrel and behind your barrel , that'll make a nice 3d effect !

Thx folks :)

nemo

So you just took a water sprite and do some sine in front then?

I haven't heard of that you can mask "part" of a sprite.

Well ... Not on C2 atleast ! (Objections ? )

hi Schoening,

   if you don't mind can you please send .capx file or explain the process for barrel floating steps please.

Wow the thread is almost 1 year old, — You need to put "@" in front of the name to tag him. I have ever made a floating barrel also.

If yu want it I'm going to look for the capx.

hi nothaseo,

    i need that capx.if you don't mine can you please share that .capx file

narasimha, here's the capx. floating barrel
