Blacksun Water Post Process

OK, my mate Dave found an awesome article on gamedev.net, it was describing how to render water without any geom by doing it as a post process.

Here is my attempt at it so far. I still have much to do, bits to fix and add in, but I think it is looking OK now.

I remember this technique only works if the water is surrounded by geometry. Is that correct?

[NemoKradXNA]

@cgAddict Nope, if you have nothing in your scene you will still have the water effect there.

Dude, this is what I've been wanting to do for ages. That's it, you need to write a tutorial on this one for sure :D. Do you look at his engine code or you just read the paper?

[NemoKradXNA]

@cgAddict Yep, all in the new year, read the article and played with the original shader, then wrote this based on it.

As I say, still lots to do on it.

Hey Nemo,

Thanks for the reply. Please keep me updated with this water effect. Maybe you can release a demo or source when you're done :D ?
