Ideally you can, but because of the Fresnel effect, your reflection is very faint if you're looking at the water straight down. You can see yourself in places if you look carefully.

NOTE: if water performance is an issue, you can tone it down with "waterrefract 0". Also, you can turn down the detail of shaders in general by setting the "shaderdetail" variable to values less than 3 (the default).

You´re not really supposed to have water touching bare sky. It´s rather bad design on your behalf than a bug that would need to be fixed.

Please, please, please support some form of 3D import from other programs, e.g. through maya, max, direct x files, etc

please.....

You can use blender or ms3d to import almost any 3d file format and export to .md3 (or .md2 but it´s a bit painfull with blender).

When you are in water, look upwards and jump all the while moving forward, there's no splashing sound when you hit the water's surface after the jump.

We may need a few map design guidelines for the placement of water to avoid visual anomalies like 'hall of mirror' type effects... I suspect that expecting the engine to sort out _all_ reflection issues is a bit much.

MaKKe, it's touching cubes with sky texture. :p that's what you mean ?

Well, that version stay amazing.
Occlusion Culling is becoming perfect.
Shaders need less performance.
And, the amazing thing is i got 35 fps with bumpmapping O__O

Great work. :3

That maps looks suberb! Great job. Where are the textures from?

reply to this message

#26: Re: ..

by cronos on 09/13/2006 17:06, refers to #25

The textures are out of my new texture collection that I am currently creating.
As soon as I am finished with the map and the texture set I am going to make both available to everyone.

It is going to be a texture collection with around 60 Textures in 512 and 1024 and even some 2048 created from high resolution photos with normal, height, spec and colure maps.

Great news and awesome textures, cronos, those would be perfect for the rpg :)
Do you make the normalmaps from height maps?

reply to this message

#28: Re: ..

by cronos on 09/13/2006 17:13, refers to #27

I paint most of them in normal map colures combined with the NVIDIA plug-in or I use my http://www.sensable.com/products/3ddesign/freeform/ClayTools_System.asp to make the moor complex ones.

You’re welcome to use them for the rpg once I have them ready :)
