For this tutorial, you position a patch object so it aligns with a background image and apply the Ripple
Space Warp to it.
To add ripples to a pond, follow these steps:
1. Open the Pond ripple.max file from the Chap 42 directory on the DVD.

This file includes a background image of a bridge matched to a patch grid where the pond is
located with a reflective material assigned to it.

If you’re having trouble locating the patch grid, press F3 to switch to Wireframe mode. n
2. Select the Create ➪ Space Warps ➪ Geometric/Deformable ➪ Ripple menu command. Drag in the
Perspective view to create a Space Warp object. In the Parameters rollout, set the Amplitudes to 2
and the Wave Length to 30.
3. Click the Bind to Space Warp button, and drag from the patch object to the Space Warp.
Figure 42.14 shows the resulting image.
