Im looking for some kind of map to subtly disturb a pool water surface.
Could anyone hep please ?

Here you go mate:-



Seamless texture, just load into bump map slot in MXED and turn on Normal map mode. Adjust tiling to suit.

Result for flat plane:-

Fantastic ! and hi res too ....thanks Tim

What is the mxm for the water by the way , looks very nice indeed

[Tim Ellis]

It's just a wizard:- water mxm with the normal map applied at 30 for that render.

There is a ground plane set 4 meters below the water plane, to give the illusion of depth. (Checking that scene again, the mxm for the ground plane has a pavement texture applied, which explains the irregularities you can see in the render)


Glad to help,

Tim.

Like Tim suggests, it's much better to use a bump map for subtle effects like this on a pool surface. Looks great, Tim!

If you want some more "action", displacement might be the way to go:

is this the same map for displacement and bump , with the bump map at 1/10 size ?
looks good too but more sea than pool
