How to use the underwater shader?

[Russell]

@Marcousik same example...

Scene with creepy materials and marble/shiny wood ground...

So as you seen it's not imposible...

You can make a scene with all creepy materials and only some marble materials in there. But you need work the Textures. Not the shader.

It might still be working and the reflection is just being broken up a lot. I see some blue on his leg.

Right thx adebgamesoft and Russel

 Actually it would be nice to use this shader on a specific material as it seems to turn the entire scene to marble: It is so impossible to compose a scene with old creepy material and marble

I know the screen space reflection shader looks for a specular texture. In around line 76:

        //Get specmap from gbuffer
        float specularity = texelFetch(texture3, ivec2(icoord*buffersize),0).a;
        
        //only compute if we hvae specularity
        if (specularity > 0.0f)
        {

 

I haven't tried this but it could be that you could change the texture to 6 or something and just add your specular on "texture6" in slot 6 in the ones you want to have the reflective effect. Seems like it should avoid everything that doesn't have a specular there.

yes all right thx ?

Happy it can be done. So only set the specular to 0 on material and the effect of the shader is gone, cool thing really.
