cassius Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Is there any way to get a splash effect when a character walks thru water? Quote amd quad core 4 ghz / geforce 660 ti 2gb / win 10 Blender,gimp,silo2,ac3d,,audacity,Hexagon / using c++
Naughty Alien Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 ..you can use animated texture + decal (or just quad at position of your character foot), and apply refraction on to it and you are set.. Quote
Canardia Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I would create a particle emitter, because splashes are 3D. Create a new emiter for each footstep, and then delete after a while after pausing them first, so they don't vanish abruptly.

Also, if you have documentary about Jurassic park, take a look how they did splash when T-rex walk over water..its Quad, camera aligned, with proper animated texture.. Quote
Canardia Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Sure, but then you need to program a bit more. Using already existing engine features is faster, if it's sufficient to do the job.

cassius Posted February 13, 2012 Author Posted February 13, 2012 Thanks. I saw a unity demo called boot camp ( I think) which showed this effect. Sounds a bit advanced though for my capability.

Pixel Perfect Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I'd agree with NA. Animated quads are a very effective way of achieving special effects and are cheap to execute in LE. I've had over 60 running simultaneously with no noticeable reduction in frame rate.
