Quote: What shader version do you need to use this? I get an unsupported error on my GeForce3 but then again I am fairly clueless about shaders.
Since this is not using a pixel/vertex shader there is no version to be concerned about, but I am assuming that GeForce3 lacks support for the "bumpenvmap" texture operation.

The shots on this page are using techniques similar to the ones outlined above. It is unfortunate that after many hours of frustration I still do not get enviromapping to look good on anything other than a sphere.
Just thought I'd show what the heck I'm doing with these things since this thread seems to have cooled off.
@steempipe: please post the source of this environment bump mapping effect!
it looks great!

no matter what i do i can't get this to work. it drives me crazy! ...i'd have some nice ideas for ice and water effects with environment bump mapping...

i know geforce cards can do embm. it's listed under the device caps and i have seen this effect running on my pc (for example the far cry water uses it).

besides a sphere. This is too bad. However, I am dealing with workarounds on that and learning a little at a time.
show your code and i will tell you the workaround!
Are you going to release source code for this?
