FountainMaker Kit - Fountain Arcs 3D model

UPDATED - July 2019

For people who design and make their own 3D water fountains, this is a kit of 40 arcing water streams, along with 3 plume tips for the center of a circular fountain. These provide a quick and inexpensive way to add photo-realistic water to your fountains and water basins.

There are five sets of arcing water streams. Each set of water streams arcs at a different angle, and each set contains eight (8) alternative streams, to provide you with the means to create natural variation in the water. The pictures show the five different arcs. Two pictures show the eight alternative streams within two of the arc sets.

This kit includes three water plume tips of different heights, so that you can create a complete fountain quickly with just the components in the kit. (Please consider adding the Fountain Maker Round Water Disks Kit to your fountain.)

To make construction as quick as possible, the Kit includes four guides to help you place and position the individual arcing water streams around a circular fountain or basin. (One of the pictures shows how to use the 8-point guide model for really rapid placement and orientation of the water streams.) The pivot point of each water arc model is placed at the point of origin of the stream. This allows you to quickly place and orient a stream of water in your fountain.

Although these arcing water streams are described as low resolution, their quality and level of detail is very near the quality of the professional-grade high resolution versions. (One picture compares the high and the low resolution versions of one of the arcing water streams.)

Simple clear water or glass materials are all that are needed for these models. Scale down to fit smaller fountains. MAX and FBX users can use the standard Arnold Clear Water or Clear Glass materials. The Maxwell Render package includes the Next Limit standard Clear Water material. This model collection is available in *.obj, *.max, *.fbx and Maxwell Render file formats. Other formats are avilable upon request.
