Reflective water?

Hmm looks pretty amazing. But Kegetys, are 3d objects needs to be changed or just some option with d3d in ofp engine ?

Read the previous posts in this thread, it has been explained.

Something I was curious about...is it possible to add other effects to the water? Such as making the water look like it's flowing in a stream?

Not unless you want the whole ocean to look like that.

The AEF Campaign trailer shows a waterfall in it. I assume it's scripted.

If y'all havent figured it out yet: its not just the water!! its the ENGINE!!! or so i was told. Not just the water.

I think that was made the same way smoke and explosions are made only blue backwards

I think what I was imagining isn't possible, but who knows.

I was thinking of only a small section of the surface of the water being "animated", such as blood flowing down part of a river after a heavy battle, or something like that.

Maybe it can be done using a flat red "object" that is scripted to move downstream and then go away, not really sure. Would look like to have a similar effect in some of those Nam missions like in an intro or cutscene, or triggered to happen when your unit approaches the area and sees the dead bodies "floating" on the shore. Or maybe I'm thinking a little too much "Apocalypse Now" style?

i wonder if this feature can also be used for rear view mirrors and wall mounted mirrors?

i dont know how the process works, but i assume it is texture bound, would applying the watertexture to a vehicle's rear view mirror create a working rv mirror?

Not really, as reflection texture would not take into account position and direction of face, but would assume it is turned towards sky at height of sea level.

Generalized mirror algorithm would be hideously slow, as every face would have to be rendered once for every reflecting face, and as rendering flow cannot be altered, GPU state changes and reading back and locking vertex data would kill even most powerful GPU

Actually performance hit from constantly switching render target is lot harder on newer hardware, since optimization data and caching is lost with every state change.

Ummm...Yeah. What ever he said

This stuff is WAY beyond my scope. Keg and the rest of the people who figure this stuff out are in a class 50 times higher than me, so I'll stick to stuff like "how do I make a crate again?"

What a tease. Keg, if you were a woman, we'd have a name for you!

Could someone who knows him ask Keg to make another reflective water music video for us?  I find the first one VERY relaxing to watch.  I've played it about 20 to 30 times, now, probably.  Is the song Keg's own composition, or does someone know the name of it and where it originates?

Requests:  Night time, showing man-made lights reflecting, including flares, jet afterburners, fighter JET ECM, explosions, missiles, etc. and how it looks through night vision.

Doesn't sound as relaxing, but I wanna see how these things might look if and when this is released.

And he shouldn't be afraid to make it longer and to turn up the terrain detail to at least high, if the system can handle it.

[kegetys 2]

The music is an old mod tune I have had for a very long time, named seeker.mod. I think its available at the mod archive... The instruments say "xtd / union ** 23.06.1993 **" so I suppose the composer is someone who calls himself xtd.

Great work Keg ,as usuall.

Got a question ,or a request ,could you make a rainbow?

[NetWalker 0]

Any news about release date ??

[Wilco 944]

Yet again, it will be released when it's done.

Perhaps hes affriad Codemasters will charge

Perhaps hes affriad Codemasters will charge  

At least in Europe he is allowed to make any change or addon to the game and even sell it if it's not been made with a program where the licence agreement says the opposite and that he don't use any copywrited files in his release.

lol

You're smart lol

I don't understand why it takes so long though

[Homefry 0]

Testing, and RL.

[bmgarcangel 0]

lol

We should pay Keg to make every single thing in OFP different and better

Change the word "we" to "BIS".

Hehe, no, don't get me wrong. Afaik he isn't i just thought it would be cool
