Create animated water pools with customizable ripples and add rain and snow effects to images or videos. Save animations as Flash, GIF, or video files. This software allows you to add a gentle rippling effect that reflects the scene above.
The software also lets you add rain and snow effects with ease, giving your images or videos a true-to-life look and feel. And if you save an animation as an AVI file, you can reload it and add new pools or areas of rain or snow at any time. This means you can add an unlimited number of water features to your original image or video, customizing every detail to your exact specifications.
Another way to add multiple reflecting or rain areas - this time in a single step - is to make use of an alpha channel in the image file. And once your animation is complete, you can save it as a Macromedia Flash (SWF) file, AVI video clip, animated GIF file, or a bitmap, jpeg, jpeg2000, png, or tiff file. With so many options and features, this software is the perfect choice for anyone who wants to create realistic water effects quickly and easily.

Version 2.2: Support for PNG images, and bug fixes.
Version 2.1: Option to crop the saved animation to just the rectangle containing the reflecting Outline. Ripple/wave height boost option which gives bigger waves/ripples and 3D appearance. Ability to position a single 'ring' ripple at any chosen point. Now Windows Vista compatible.
Version 2.0: Now has general rainfall/snowfall effects, and the option of adding reflecting areas of water containing circular (ring) ripples like those seen when rain falls onto water.
Version 1.3: New effects include smoothing, blurring, texture, coloring, and flow. There is increased control over the part of the image to be reflected. Animations can now be saved as GIF files.
