In this tutorial I’ll show you how to make a 3D water surface.
1. Create new file [Ctrl+N], Background — White, Foreground — Black (D). Choose Filter –> Render –> Clouds
2. Choose Filter –> Sketch –> Chrome
3. Choose Filter –> Distort –> Twirl (50-100grad)
4. Let’s colour the water [Ctrl+U]
5. Let’s make 2-3 new layers [Ctrl+Shift+N] and repeat points 1-4. Don’t forget to set different “Opacity” for each layer: 1st layer — 100%, 2nd layer — 50%, 3rd layer — 30%.
6. Now we have a realistic 3D water surface.
