Realistic oceanscape animation in 24 hours, written in AS3 , Flash CS3 . Great background for your logo.

What you see above is a preview to show you how the scene changes with a slider instead of time. In actual file, scene is dependent to clock and sun will rise and set at hours you want, and you’ll see the scene changes during sunrise and sunset every second.

Animation includes sun(with rays and lens flare), clouds(perfectly looping every 15 minutes by default), water(animated with perlin noise), birds(moving and flapping randomly), stars(sparkling randomly) and moon(with its reflection on water).

In the preview above, change slider position to see the animation. Clicking the slider and pressing LEFT and RIGHT buttons is recommended.

Clouds and sea are bitmaps but still you can resize the stage. Every object will be placed to their right positions.

You can edit:
- Water animation(perlinNoise)
- Number of birds and stars
- Movement speed of the clouds
- Sunrise and sunset times
- Color of anything

You can download both the original and the preview file.
