Awesome man!

Just like Xmas Looks great Eric Thank you!

I was wondering - how do I change the ambient(or brightness) of the cube map thats applied to the water? Thanks.

William: There are a number of things you can play with. Here are a few ideas.

1). You can add code to lerp with another texture.

2). Alter the pixelshaderconstant like: PixelShaderConstant[0] = {0.60,0.60,0.60,0.50}; x,y,z being RGB. w being transparancy.

3). You could pass info thru diffuse by adding:

float4 vecDiffuse // Add vector to effect ""

PixelShaderConstant[0] = <vecDiffuse>; // Change in Technique Pass

mul r0, t3, c0 // No change in pixelshader fragment

my.Alpha = 60; // Add the amount of trans to your Action

In the material {}; // Make your RGB adjustments
diffuse_blue = 200;
diffuse_green = 200;
diffuse_red = 200;

Looks very nice! Does the HLSL Water code requires Professional edition? It looked likt it has a mirror effect to a water. Neat.
