Hasta La Motion!

Whats the best way to achieve a water ripple effect in nuke, over blown out moving water.

The camera is looking down at the talent at a 45 degree angle in some partially blown out water, and I am adding cgi behind coming out of the water, and need to disturb the water somehow so it appears more photoreal.

I want to generate a ripple or even disturbance in the water.

Heres the challenge, the water is already moving, and parts of it are blown out where I want to add the cgi, so if I do create a ripple, how can you see it over the blown out water below and even if you see through the water below, its already moving at a slow pace.

Or can I bypass the ripple and disturbance all together if I make the water appear more blown out, it may work that way?

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Helo, so I need to clone away tracking marks. But when I choose to clone it away with a Paint tool, then I get some problems. The problem here is that the the sequence stops on that frame where i cloned(this happends when i have it on hold). Why does it freeze? I tried many diffrent settings on Repeat Mode.
Help!

So I’ve made a track in Matchmover, exported it out to maya, worked great. But the problem here now is that when i render a playblast, then i will see the camera (3d maya camera) move and ofcourse the 3d house i placed there movest along with it. But the problem here is that the tracked image sequence will stay still on fram 1 and won’t update itself. Anybody knows how to fix this?
