Animated water
2 layers of water moving in oposite directions

Hello

Animated water:
2 layers of waves.dds ALWAYS wisible(not spectular)
first one is moving e.g. to south second one is moving to the west

Microtexturing of water:
Like a planet renderning if farther you look, then you get worse tex if you look closer you will se better tex rather few tiles connected to one(like in orulex)

summary:
2 layers of water with microtexturing moving in opposite directions

Thanks for interesting in this thread

Ok, I am not entirely sure that I see the rationale behind this suggestion, so it's unlikely that I will be working on this anytime soon. I would therefore suggest the following:

Try to implement your idea yourself in the D3D7 graphics client, at least to the point where the concept can be demonstrated. If it looks good (or at least promising ) then we can discuss about possibly also incorporating it into the inline client.

That is what the external open graphics clients are for: allowing you guys to experiment with new visualisation ideas without having to wait for me. I haven't even got enough time to implement my own ideas these days ...

You can use this thread to report back on your results.

I'm not a C++ coder, so I can't add this feature to D3D7Client. I don't know, how to exactly demonstrate it. If You have Paint.NET, then you can create an image with blue background, and paste 2 layers with waves.dds Move one to e.g. down(not to left/right) using arrow keys and you will se an illusion of animated water. It looks fine.

I can add a little schema:


But I think, that only 1 layer of water should me moving.

So kind of like cloud layers only at the surface? If so than the only thing that needs to be implemented is the allowance of mulitple cloud layers, a feature that (I think) has been discussed before and would probably be simple enough to implement. Try posting this request in the D3D9 thread and maybe Jarmonik can implement it.
