Hi there!
I'm trying to think of ways to create an effect that would mimic a boat wake. I've searched for similar effects on Codepen but I wasn't too happy with what I found.
I guess what I'm looking for would be similar to a water effect, but with a "speed" motion. So far, I've gathered different ideas (that would not all be used at the same time, it has to be subbtle and as lightweight as possible):
- animate water curves around the boat, for instance with Morph SVG like the cape here: http://codepen.io/GreenSock/pen/WQjRXE
- use a filter over parts of the image like this: https://codepen.io/thebabydino/pen/doBLxx
- use particles to imitate water drips
These are not perfect ideas and I'm mainly looking for advice on them or maybe pointers to a technique that would suit my needs.
I've attached the image I'm working with.
Thanks for your ideas!
