Water reflection headache..

Water reflection headache.. - 09/05/08 05:48

Ok so what's the secret if any! to allowing the terrain
to reflect in the water.

I have a pond in my level with a cliff on one sie.
Problem is the cliff isn't reflecting on the surface and
the trees, rocks etc on the other side of the cliff
do.. It's as if the terrain is INVISIBLE to the water mirror..

I've tried different ways to do this and I am just making it worse. eg: set(view, PORTALCLIP | NOFLAG1....) but to no avail..

Please help me out, I'm just about to give up..

Using lite-c bty not the free version..

Thanks for trying but I have solved the problem. Just had to up the colours
on the terrain a bit. The only other problem is now you can see red,blue,green
streaks in the reflection when up close...

Using real time reflections bty...

Thanks again..

Thanks for the complement, I'm no way pro status yet still learning by trial
and error hehe.. I guees sometimes I bite off more than I can chew.

I just plod along and when I get to frustated with one thing I start or continue
on with another. Most times when I do that I get a brainstorm and go back to what I was doing and get it to work! Slowly but surely it's comming along.
