needing help!

[metaldc4life]

I am so lost right now I don't know what else to do about it..

I need some kind of tutorial on how to add water to my game by means of shaders, textures or a prefab or something..

I tried Shads but it is a real decrease in game performance even though I have an extremely fast gaming laptop I use to develop my game from..

 

Does any one have any recommendations on where to get the best water elements in my game even if I have to pay for it from a 3d marketplace??

 

Thanks.

Honestly, water is not a major strength of Leadwerks atm. It's going to be tough to get decent water doing all the things I'm sure you want it to do if water is that big of a deal to your game.

oh.. yeah it was a really big thing in my game because I am making an island ever since I bought leadwerks 2 weeks ago.. =;/

 

do you happen to know of any easy method perhaps to add a little something to it? (water wise?)

Water was the second most requested feature in my poll so hopefully Josh considers it a high priority.

Ok I will fix the waterprefab today.

[shadmar]

Ok here it is :

 

1. Unzip into your projects root and load the Water Example map

 

OR

 

2. Drag Water.mdl into your scene (from Materials/Water)

3. Add your player prefab.

4. Add a skybox in the Scene/Root

5. Make sure all fields look like this , then hit run :

Water_with_examplemap.zip

[shadmar]

Posteffects are not supported. (and I don't know why.. it just blanks out the water)

[metaldc4life]

thank you Shadmar works like a charm!

[gamecreator]

Does this work for C++ projects where you don't have a player prefab and you add the skybox via C code?

[metaldc4life]

i'm not sure I have to start from scratch again using lua.. =/

 

But at least there's water woot! lol
