G_Ripple_V1
The gizmo is based on the mathematical function used to generate ripple waves. This tool uses nuke in-built 'Expression' node to generate the ripple waves.
Further modification are done to the function so that the user can control the different properties of the ripple.
The basic math fuction used in this gizmo is metioned below:
This tool generates a fully controllable ripple map which can be used to distort an image for a ripple effect or it can also be used to displace 3D cards/geometries.
Below is a snap from the test i conducted using this gizmo to displace a card in nuke to create a ripple like effect.
Go ahead and test this tool on your projects or works and let me know in the comment section about any feedback or changes you come up with!
