Makes sure the tiles are tiling right, it really needs a seamless texture that tiles better than this one. It doesn't have to tile perfectly straight, but this looks a bit funny now.

Also, while I generally like the effect of wet tiles like this, it's shininess looks odd because the white is too sharp, it should somehow be a little bit softer.

Finally one question, did you apply this to a model or to a block surface?

Look, someone mopped the floor. lol
Thank you for your input.
Let me know if you think this is better.

@PHeMoX Thanks for the advice.
This was added to brushes, no models in the room yet.
And just so everyone knows, the texture is seamless; the grout lines are just not aligned. I’m not going to be able to straighten those out! lol

You could send me the texture and it's normal map if you like and then I'd take a look at it, perhaps I can help you out there.

Okey, so you're using this on blocks?

Well I must say the shininess looks a thousand times better now, I'd definitely keep it this way as far as the shader goes, looking good!

Btw. isn't it running slow since you're using this on blocks (we tend to call brushes blocks, so .. ), shaders on models are remarkably faster,

Cheers

I don't see the fps slowing allot. I'm getting about 55 - 65 fps
Remember, I've been working on a Relief, Parallax, Normal-mapping pipeline. I want to be ready for the Nextgen stuff.
And I'm not using Sphere...

looks alittle bit like plastic or latex now.
i think water should spread out in circular shapes on the floor. it will have a more organic and soft flow.

in general i would turn down all effects by at least 50%. i think its too much of everything.

but images like these show how important good shaders can be for games.

keep it up
cheers

As the title mentions: "test" is means it's a WIP so I guess we can expect some nice shader effects in the
near future
I hope you succeed in this test to get the best quality and performance out of it

Cheers
