Light on Water

Peter Hardie

These artworks consist of a series of computer animated sequences and prints, based on a visual investigation of water, light and reflections.

The primary intent is in realising the sensations evoked by the play of light on water. The colours and shapes generated by the movement of waves and ripples, the changing pattern of reflections, the light bouncing of the water surface. The sensation of light on water generated by, specific rivers and seas at differing times of the year.

The animated sequences are available on DVD format, to be displayed on Plasma screens. The Prints are produced by inkjet with archival, pigment based inks on watercolour paper.

All these works, still and animated sequences, were produced using the Softimage XSI, three dimensional animation System.

The bright reflective lights in the Sparkle Seas and Shadow Tree artworks used the Glimmer output shader for Softimage XSI developed by Andrew Hayes.
