| Here's a pic of what I've been laboring over the past few hours. Sky box textures made in Terragen and the water came about totally by accident. I punched in the wrong flag and kinda freaked when I saw it. It really looks like real water with light refracting off of "waves". I know the terrain is heinous...I'm working on that next.  |

| That water is really awesome! I'm impressed! |
| ||
| Thx MisterMecha! :) |
| ||
| How did you make that water? I have been working on water for ever with not much success. Mind sharing some code or an explanation? |
| ||
| Be sure to check the water compo thread too for many cool free water techniques: http://www.blitzbasic.co.nz/Community/posts.php?topic=53162 |

| Yeah, I have read that thread so many times, and I have all of the demos there on my computer, but I would still like to know how chroma did that. |
| ||
| Any chance seeing it in action? Doesn't look too special yet ;o) I'm sure it's better moving though. Keep at it man :o) |
| ||
| You're right, it's not special enough to see in action. :( I'll keep working on it. |
| ||
Well I think it looks a little better now...still trying to make it look more special... |
| ||
| what is it? A simple plane? Or are the waves somehow made of polygons? BTW did anybody try to use animated normalmaps for waves? I guess it could look pretty good. |
| ||
| Yep it's just 2 planes...both at 0,0,0. No animated textures. |
| ||
| Does it animate at all? |
| ||
| It's not an animated texture but it does 'appear' to animate. EDIT: I'll get with you in a week when you get back from the scout trip. |
