"Sqirlz Water Reflections is a way of adding rippling pools of water, and rain or snow effects, to images or existing AVI videos.
The pools can be animated to give lifelike rippling reflections of the scene above them, and can be of any shape.
Choose from a variety of ripple shapes, and control details such as wave size, perspective, water transparency and flow direction.
The raindrops and snow flakes can be adjusted in many ways, including size, speed, direction, transparency and scene depth effects."

I can't really see any practical use for this software, though it's fun to play if you're in a doodling mood. I downloaded a simple picture of a mermaid earlier and did this to it as an example.

Terry, I have had this software for about 18 months, and as you say I have not really found a use for it except for my own entertainment

Love the colours Terry,
It's amazing the things that can be done :wink:

May not have a lot of uses Terry but your example is very good

Thanks, Peter. It is a very limited application and I looked for a picture I could use it on to advantage.

Playing with available software still pales in comparison to being a proper artist!

Unfortunately, I am not a 'proper artist', but love art.

I animated a local pond fountain with that program. Very effective. But as you say, limited application.
