ok here's the idea just put a square whole in the ground then use one of the sprite pack water animations make sure its a few inches below the edge then for inside of the pool put a couple of blue lights ...last put stairs or a ladde to get out.

Not a bad idea...and it's been done.




And others have done it as well.The issue is that realistic water physics are a pain in the backside.

I got working under water physics there pretty close, but the only problem is the the objects that are floating around can be destroyed in one hit no made how invincible you make it still pretty cool check it out the showcase

I tried an alternate way of doing it yesterday, which turned out pretty cool. I used the cubeent shader to fake reflections in the water, might make the stuff available for dload sometime, if anyone's interested.

Sure thing, I'd like you all to keep in mind that these are quick tests of an early variant, I'm going to make these water entities of various sizes later, mainly to eliminate seams that occur when I use them as one by one next to each other, you'll see what I mean when I post the screens.

Now, on to the visuals. Here's what it looks like when using the floor_a mesh:

Sorry about the dark ambience, was fiddling a bit with it. As you can see, the "reflection" works great with this, the only problem is that where the meshes tile together, seams occur because of the mesh not being flat. It looks cool underwater though, without trouble;

I tried to simply flatten the floor_a mesh, and came up with this:

While on one hand the seams are gone, seams now occur with the shader instead. It doesn't work at all well when tiled, but if you use it on a single segment opening:

It looks quite good. I'm gonna adjust and fiddle around with this a bit, then post the result for everyone to use if it turns out well. I'd like to know what everybody thinks of it so far, if it shows promise or not. Thanks.

EDIT: Got the problem sorted just now. New screenies and maybe download coming soon.

Do you mean that "swimming revealed" thread? Because if you do, that is nothing special at all.

that's a real old one too I discovered it when I first got a water decal. It's not that great actually, and it's very unrealistic.

Yeah, it's not overly realistic, but it's probably the best we can get for X9 unless they add in support for water.

You could make some segments and use semi-transparent blue meshes and insert theme right into the ground. Or try using a semi-transparent decal. Water has easily been done before, but not involving swimming pools.

its great but i noticed that in the screen shots you can really see the grid. Try finding a way to erase that so it looks seamless.

I've fixed that problem, I've got the entity ready to go along with a few different illumination maps. But I want to test to see if I can fully harness the power of the cubeent shader before I post it on the forums.

Great and this is asking a little much but little waves would be nice nothing huge.
