Creating River:

River:

For my animation I need a river that the crab wants to walk to the water. For creating the animation in 3Dmax, first of all in Create / Geometry / patch grid, then I choose the Quad patch, next, I made a panel. After that under the Quad patch, I changed the parameters to the size that I want. Then in Modify, I choose the Edit Patch, after that on the top / under the create button, choose Paint selection Region, the last one / the circle one.

Before that I had to select the Vertex sub object of (Edit Patch) then I selected the points that I want my river shape to be. After that I moved the selection down as much as I want the river’s depth. Then for creating the floors shape to looks more naturally, I moved the spots down, up, left or right.

And for creating the Water in the river, I made a box then I put it to the river like a paper or box. Next in Modify I have to add sound, after that at the under the Noise button in setting, I changed the setting like this:

Seed (0) Scale (5.0) Phase (22) X, Y (0) Frequency (0.55) Z (11.0)

And mark the Animation.

Before doing that, when made the box, under setting, I had to change the setting like this:

Length: (250) Width: (420) Height: (0) Length sags: (40) Width Sags: (40)

Height Sags: (1)

Then I opened the Material, in Diffuse: I can choose whatever blue that I like as a water colour. Then in the map:

Bump: (30) Map # (Noise) Reflection: (100) Map # (Flat Mirror)
