Here is a re-render of the previous water simulation, with an animated camera, rather than the 360 degree static camera that was used before. When it comes to doing an animation, the Water Uber Shader(WUS) does have one big disadvantage, which is that it takes quite a bit longer to render. When I have been looking at various Blender tutorials, I have noticed that there are some people who like using the compositor to add what they think are some cool effects to their renders. I have noticed that some of them like to use the glow and glare nodes, but because I have a cataract in one of my eyes, you can understand that I am not too excited when these nodes are used. Because of these previous tutorials, I used to never see a reason to use the compositor, until I was faced with the problem of how to reduce the render times of my scenes. I looked up some noise reduction tutorials and ended up combining some of the techniques together. This WUS render was going to take more than 5 minutes per frame at 100 samples, so I decided to see what magic the compositor could do, if the frames were instead rendered at 16 samples and it seems to have done a good job. I have used a reflective background because this seems to make the scene render a lot faster, but I suppose I might be able to render a scene with a diffuse background, if someone has a spare render farm lying around.
