Hi KMS, could I see an example of your idea? sounds nice and easy lol.

Sorry,but it was a quick idea.I tested it,but i have delete the Test,because I didn't need it at this time.I only wanted to see the result for later games.But I think,it's not difficult for you to do it in this way.Sorry about my bad english.

No problem, could you tell me where you got the water footage from?

I don't know what footage means.But I send my watervideo up to my page.Here the link:
Download

thank you, you're very kind kms.

with prerendered effects you can get very impressive game on an lowend video. I like the 'Syberia' game way - it uses prerendered videos for detailed water, birds in the sky and so on. simple yet effective.

With what kind of program would you try to do something like that, if you wanted to get that effect like in Syberia, Lion_Ts? I think it's very difficult to make a few seconds of watervideo both seamless and looping ...

Cheers

i don't know about easy way for it too, PHeMoX. And I haven't any program for 'seamless water loop generation'. I told, that all hardware consuming tasks in Syberia are prerendered, all lights are baked into textures and so on. I was impressed with game quality at my first Syberia run on GeForceMX440 (without any shader support).

I figured a really easy way...I downloaded a water texture from turbosquid...I used it as a heightmap, used the same image as a texture and gave it some simple animations. when in WED i set it to transparent and here is the result:

C+C?

Looks nice - would like to see it in motion though.
