Hello Andrew!...I desperately need to create this drop, but the drop supplied in the project files can not be imported into after effects. It comes up with the message 'cannot be imported- this .mov file is damaged or unsupported'. How can I get my blob! please help!
Thank you

Probably the fact that the reflection is inverted in the x... I'm not even sure how you could fix that. Maybe use a horizontally flipped footage as the reflect map. Even then, I think the reflection would be offset and possibly look worse. I watched Stephan Minning's normality tutorial and he mentioned using a reflection map that is already blurred to cut down the calculation.

Andrew,
Aside from the first few minutes, this is the most exciting thing I've seen in a LONG time. Could you add any further details about using Repousse objects to create normals? That way, the entire process could be done without needing a 3D program for modeling.

Ok great tutorial...but also great film Idea! Have you made it into a film yet? If not I might just have to steal it. That water blob...getting into all sorts of starting fires, raising a family...it has all the makings of an academy award winner.

"I don't want to get to technical" -- AK
To get very technical, a "normal" has a specific meaning in mathematics: it's a vector that is "orthogonal" to all of the vectors in the plane.
So, what the heck does THAT mean?
Imagine a dinner table. This is the surface, our plane. Within the dinner table, there are lots of vectors, going from one point on the table to another point. There are, in fact, infinitely many of these.
To create a normal, we have to produce a vector that is orthogonal to ALL of these infinite vectors.
On the dinner table, we set a candlestick. This is our normal vector. It's at a right angle to ("is orthogonal to") the entire plane.
So a normal map picks up the surface and maps out all of the vectors that are at right angles (sticking straight out of) that surface. Curved surfaces, of course, will yield a lot more of these. Picture a firehose with lots of spikes sticking out of it; each one completely perpendicular to the point at which it's attached.
Let me know if there are any questions about this explanation, and hopefully it will help you understand what a normal map is a little more clearly!
