Water Caustics in Source

[RawrNinjaBurgers]

I AM AMUSED!

[OverseerThe]

i like it, i know its just material, but if you stare into water for awhile you will understand how complex it is to make in games, you know with undercurrents uppercurrents, waves, volume size, and objects in it...

[JerryKid72]

mind sharing that vtf with the rest of the class?

[NoobieLandCity]

Oh my GOD, the best enemy for the Piro.. WATER ! !!

[supadupasqwid]

where do i get it?

[TheRealDutchOwner]

If Valve just continues the major updates for Source, we don't have to worry about a new engine that Garry's Mod can't use :3

[SpAMCAN]

Its an overlay, yes? Its a good looking one :3

[Neon1691]

it looks like plasma

[Kaweebo]

It's Mr. Freeze!

[kkaayynniinnee]

Some sort of decal or custom shader?

[jian2069]

you should really turn down the effect on the actual water but it looks pretty cool on the wall

[joebloggs93]

Couldn't this be done with an env_cubemap, or do they not dynamically update reflections?

[InstantMix]

Looks like UT99 :D

[26DeislerFCB]

looks shit

[Tabtoxin]

Why'd you put an overlay on the surface water texture? Makes more sense to put in the pool wall areas.

[Alexdudeguy]

Any chance of you throwing this texture on a link? Really nice effect.

[OnlineDino]

where can i download it?

[MNC117]

Animated material placed as an overlay? I like it!

[acharad]

Just a layer of animated texture (Like in Serious Sam)



[Archanor]

Did you just use an overlay for this, or is it a projected texture?

[ballsopt]

I hear Black Mesa is going to use this effect in places.

[grantrithor]

nice, pretty impressive. If the community is able to create these awesome things, so should valve. Meaning valve could apply these cheap to render effects to buff up the games.

[InteractiveBUD]

@grantrithor Yeah... But instead you get assholes like Burton J who do nothing for the company but moderate the forums and always agree with the anal moderators.

[paimail21]

That's Awesome! Do you have the texture up for downloads anywhere?

[Chiznitz]

Impressive.

I know it's just a material, but it's a fantastic touch.

[TuttiMinatcho]

awsome! can i download it somewhere?

[robmaister12]

nice, was this an animated overlay?

[Ant2922]

Caustics tastic!

[gevelegian]

@Ant2922 or Caustastic!

[IAmTuberculosis]

That's rather nice looking. :D

[StriderOnline]

Ta. :D

Blue map is indeed blue, and has since magically aquired ice.

[habboi]

Blue map is blue ;O Sexy.
