Anamorphic 3D Water Animation
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I need an 80-second, ultra-realistic 3D loop of slow-moving ocean surf that appears to sit inside a transparent, L-shaped pool on a 90° corner LED screen measuring 15 × 8 × 8 m. The illusion must read perfectly from the main viewing axis shown in my reference images, so every choice you make—camera match, lens settings, parallax, render passes—has to sell that anamorphic “water is really there” moment.
My priorities are crystal-clear: convincing wave detail, accurate transparency and refraction, and lifelike lighting-and-reflection work that reacts as real water would. The overall mood leans toward realistic movement rather than a purely calming or abstract piece, so I expect physically based simulation or equivalent Houdini/Blender/3ds Max workflow, not stock FX.
Technical specs
• Final deliverable: 80-second 4K (or higher) video file, seamless loop, no audio
• Aspect & mapping: split perfectly for two cabinets meeting at 90°, no rounding
• Look: maximum cinematic realism—fine caustics, subtle foam, natural color grading
Please factor in time to test the stitch line and provide a quick play-blast for approval before the full render. Once approved, I’ll need both the encoded file ready for the outdoor LED controller and the master frames or project file for archive.
