visual waves generator

giolivio's icon

hello,
I need some advice to implement or to find a wave generator, like ripples.

basically i'd like to obtain a grayscale image which would simulate the propagation of waves bouncing on the borders, possibly having multiple wave sources interfering with each other. it would be like having different drops on a flat water surface.

i saw something similar in jitter some years ago but can't find it anymore.. :(

where would you start?

thanks for your help.

best,
giorgio
