How Can I Set Intensity Property...

[Guest Red Ocktober]

... of Shadmar's ocean object (c++ or blitzmax)...

 

I must be having a mind block or something... i'm sure i've done this before...

 

I'm having trouble getting the water colors to correspond with those seen in the editor (in version 243)... the water color looks greyscale instead of blue... i think modifying the intensity property will fix it...

 

no problems in 250 though... hmmmm...

 

anyways,

 

thx in advance...

Intensity is just a fake setting which only multiplies the actual colors, so if you have colors of 240 or higher and then use a intensity of higher than 1, it will only overburn the colors making them all gray and white. There is never a need for anything else than intensity 1.0, because you can adjust the colors yourself much more elegantly.

You can always hack the shader ...In the oceans frag find :

 

vec4 color = ....

 

add below

 

color*=vec4(R,G,B,1);

 

Where you replace the RGB using float values in ranges 0..1 normally, but try 1,1,2 for extra blue, or 2,2,2 for twice intensity, but as Meta says they will probably look abit burned if set too high.
