Product description: Do you envision a realistic high-speed action scene involving bicycles or motorbikes running into a body of water but the default water is crystal-smooth and boring? You know that the water churned up by the bikes should have waves, bubbles, foam and spray flying everywhere. Enter the Bike Splash 2 product that contains five different props of churning water as bike tires slice through it. Each model is a result of a 3D fluid simulation using real-world properties. The props depict a scene where bike turns left in a curve as it goes and creates splashes, waves, bubbles, foamy water and spray. For each model, the body of water has different surface so it is just a matter of choice to pick the right one for your scene. The models contain no texture or other ‘tricks’ to represent the water, just plain geometry and a lot of it. The geometry pushes DAZ Studio to its limits because each bubble, foam and spray particle is modelled using spheres with simplified geometry. If you need a scene with a larger body of water, please check out my other products. You will be able to combine those with the props in this set to create as large of a body of water as you wish.  The Bike Splash 2 models contain only the body of water with bubbles, foam and spray, but no bikes or tires. Since there are so many wonderful products of bicycles and motorbikes out there, you need to bring your own. To increase their versatility to accommodate bikes of various sizes and shapes, it is possible to scale the Bike Splash 2 models along each of their axes to fit the approximate shape of the tires you chose to insert into your scene.

I hope these new prop models will add a splash of fun to your scenes. 
Happy rendering!

System requirements: PC and DAZ Studio 4.15 and newer

Needed files: No other files/products needed.

Installation instructions: Unzip the downloaded product zip file(s) into your data, Documentation, Props and Runtime directory/folder, as applicable.

Usage tips/limitations: The Bike Splash 2 prop models are envisioned to represent a 3D volume liquid material, thus there are no texture maps supplied. By default, DAZ Studio’s water Iray shaders were applied to the models. Feel free to change the water’s Transmitted Color surface parameter to go from the dark grey blues of a stormy sea to the light crystal blues of tropical waters. Similarly, experiment with the material properties of the bubbles, foam and spray to create a unique look that matches your vision.

Complete list of morphs: Not applicable.
