The method CreateWaterOverFrames returns an array of file names (frames) that can be used in a function to create a single animated gif file; there are a few of them; one that is fairly a good one and simple to use can be found here.

Water Effect:: Water Over Using GDI+

Water Effect:: Water Over Using GDI+


The code in this post is to create a water effect sample, water over, on images using .NET's GDI+.


See the following example!



This image:

Will be converted to the following animated GIF:

The following code shows how to add water waves over frames; where each frame is initiated by the original image.
