Description:
Doug lkeler created a tool set called Spryticle to do complex, rapid water effects using flat digital cards that carry triggered playback of scanned traditional 2D animation. The cards in Spryticle can be bent, curved, stretched, and positioned to allow display of the 2D hand-drawn splashes without a visual or mechanical repetition of shape and element. A 3D light can be used to add a greater sense of apparent volume to what is actually a virtual distorted flat surface.
