Re: Apartment project with lighting by invisible hemispheres. I continue advertising
Now you need to arrange these layers in the order of overlapping. The lowest layer in the row will be the most overlapped, the lowest. This will be the main render, a full-fledged picture. Then it will be blocked by a layer with a hole for water in the bathtub. the topmost layer of the picture will be a layer with holes for the cat, the edge of the bathtub for the waterfall and the girl. All the shapes (cats, water, girl, waterfall) must then be inserted between these three layers. I inserted the rainbow at the very end of the clip on top of all the layers, beautifully developed it out of the darkness.
the lowest layer is a solid render, then track No. 4 is shimmering bath water. Then No. 5 is a render with holes for water in the bathtub. Then No. 10 is a girl, she is blocked by the edge of the tub. Then No. 6 is the cat that sits in the bowl of the sink. Then there are two paths that depict a waterfall. I will talk about the waterfall in more detail separately in the next post. Then No. 7 is a render with holes for a cat in the sink and with the edge of a bathtub for a girl and a waterfall. Then No. 12 is covered by a rainbow on a transparent background. And everyone is blocked by a cat with a tail, even a rainbow)). He's at the top of the list. Now all this layer cake needs to be exported in AVI format and named beautifully. Open it again in the video editor and put music on, everything is beautifully decorated with manifestations-fades. That's it, the movie is ready.

I prepared the water in online Photoshop, cleaned the background in each frame (there were 61 pieces) as much as possible, set the transparency of all frames to 25%, made two variations with color - light green, and a denser blue. Such a different color gives the water a play, it looks more lively, shimmers a little like a real one. I made two tracks with different colors, and superimposed the first most complete animation on top of each other without offset. Then I copied and cut off a small piece of smooth water from each part. Changed the video speed of these pieces to 45% and 50%. And I scored 13-14 pieces in a row of such pieces. The boundaries between these pieces were made with an overlap of 1 second so that there would be no sudden jumps in the video. Due to the fact that the speed of the waterfall sections is slightly different, the overlap turned out to be without visible sharp repetitions, the water flowed really!)) Without cycles.
these are tracks No. 11 and No. 9, they connect into a stream of living water. I showed the difference in the speed of these pieces in different arcs.

Wow, that must have been a lot of work! Did you really edit 61 frames (pictures) of the waterfall ?! I think I understand everything although I can't try it myself for a few weeks. The Russian language in the video editor does not make it any easier That trick to make the water flowing is genius. The overlapping different time delays really make it flow without repetition. Amazing work! I'll compile everything into a pdf manual you can review. (Tomorrow, now first up and go to a musical my 12 year old grand son is playing in.)

Re: Apartment project with lighting by invisible hemispheres. I continue advertising
How was your grandson's performance? I'm sure there was a standing ovation! And I have a mistake on a mistake again. I completely forgot about the mirror!! There will be reflections of the waterfall and the cat!! Oh horror, they are all moving ((( But the moment has come to take the advice of the magnificent Cecilia. I managed to lure the actor-cat off the street, and even managed to put him on the sink for a minute in the same place as the black cat in the video. I made the waterfall only in the form of a cylinder, but that's enough. Now I'm starting to understand how the reflections in the mirror should be, I'm starting to fix my video, it's wrong!!
when I manage to fix the video, I will post the result later.

There was a standing ovation! Amazing that 22 12 year old's can put up an almost 2 hour performance they had to learn in 3/4 of a school year. It was in the local theather with over 300 people in the audience. All very official with dressed up ushers and real theather tickets. A great success.
I'm not sure that the cats need a refelection in the mirror, they seem too low to be seen in the mirror. Hoewever, knowing how to get moving reflections in the mirror would be great! Especially if that also results in the correct reflections on the chrome parts. But how to get a reflection from an image that is not there at the time of rendering...
Tonight (my local time) I will sent a PM with a download url for a preliminary version of a manual for you to review.

Re: Apartment project with lighting by invisible hemispheres. I continue advertising
Please accept my congratulations! It's always nice when children show their talents. We need to keep up!))))) They pull us up all the time, they don't let us rest. My son also played in the people's theater and I was also terribly proud of him. Acting is a very serious job. If we return to the video, then the reflection in the chrome faucets is beyond my powers)))). I'm not sure I can handle the mirror and I won't turn gray at all. But brilliant children make you risk your health)).

Re: Apartment project with lighting by invisible hemispheres. I continue advertising
I made a video with reflections in the mirror. A cat with a tail (ears and eyes) and a waterfall are reflected there. To get a more realistic correct reflection, I made a mirror copy of the waterfall and the cat in a free converter. And most importantly, I made myself a hint in the form of a render with similar-sized shapes, otherwise it is impossible to guess what the reflection in the video looks like. Thanks to Cecilia.
In order for the waterfall in the mirror to be properly synchronized with the real waterfall in the bathtub, I found out how the horizon line runs. It takes place at the viewer's eye level.
Now I've taken a freeze frame just as the water reaches the horizon line. And the reflection (a mirror gif with reduced dimensions) was also positioned exactly along the horizon line in the lower part of the water at the same moment). I precisely synchronized two waterfalls - the real one in the bathtub and the small one in the mirror. I looked to make the reflection look like a hint-render, where there is a real reflection of the cylinder in the mirror, I placed a small waterfall exactly in the place of the reflection in the hint-render. I did the same with the cat. Reflection in the mirror is the most difficult, it requires accuracy and precision. Otherwise, there will be a lie that will be visible. Now everything is more or less true. With the exception of the cat's eyes, the back of the head will be reflected in the real mirror, but I only have a mirror copy of the gif. This is not quite the right picture, but there is no other way.
