works perfect and smooth on my machine:

radeon 9800pro and winXP

looks awesome....i assume its "just" the reflection of the sky so far??

looking forward for more...this definitely kicks a...!

BTW- how did you get the envmap to render properly on a flat plane?? I've had lots of issues trying to get this to work...

Re: Any testers for this EMBM water?? - 09/13/04 05:28

Right now it is just doing a "look up" of the montsky+6.tga.

There is plenty of work to do on it.... lots of ideas I'd like to figure out. However.... it only took how many months to get this far??

So who knows what else will happen!

Hope this runs on some geforce cards, too.

By driving myself nuts!!! No, actually~ alot of reading and tinkering. The HLSL spawned an idea.

I would probably be posting the code whenever I can get the thing unmangled. Then you'll see better and may even improve on it.

I never saw Morrowind, but always hear about it. Should check it out.

this is simple. by calculating a separate view vector for each vertex, the resulting reflection vectors will be different at each vertex and point to different locations in the cube map.

Hehe, just a moment too late ventilator

. Seeing it got the gears a-turnin in my head and I just got it

. Thanks though!

EDIT: lol, and I just saw the posting of the env shader that Steempipe just posted... I went through getting it working just to find the code was already around here

i think i somewhere posted an environment mapping vertex shader which works on planes about a year ago.

...wow, time passes fast...

Okay, I must be blind then

So.... vent's vertexshader is here:
web page

I never quite got that working, and then forgot about it.

The vertexshader I am using for this water is in this post:
envmap

For the water, I passes some other textures thru it. Waxed the pixelshader and replaced it with the FFP code for bumpenvmapping. The transparency is done with alphachannel.

I tried the self exe in my computer: AMD 3200 + 512 Mb + Geforce 5900XT + WinXP + DX 9.0b and it doesn�t work. I only see the scenery with the skybox but not any water effect...What can be the problem ?

sorry, but GF5700:

btw: it shows my glassbumps

Re: Any testers for this EMBM water?? - 09/14/04 21:10

Yes! I see the same as ello with my 5900XT

Same as ello on Geforce 5200.

Re: Any testers for this EMBM water?? - 09/15/04 07:55

Okay... back to the geforce stuff

Thanks for posting your card info though... I will..... hmmm...... ponder this......

Actually.... possibly someone with the affected card that wants to screw with it would be more than welcome.

Man, too bad I bought the ATI instead of the geforce. Nahhhhhhhh!!!

Re: Any testers for this EMBM water?? - 09/15/04 15:27

i would, but i have a radeon at home, lucky me:))
i just testet it at work, where i cant try things the whole day.

Outstanding! It made me cry. I wanted to dive in and splash about.

Re: Any testers for this EMBM water?? - 09/15/04 23:53

hi,

until a few weeks I also owned only a GeForce (4 ti) card.
And so the most shaders (because they are for ATI cards) took no effect.

But since I have a Radeon 9800 Pro and I can test all the fine shaders I cannot stopping to say "AHH" and "OHH".

Looks fine! ...Ahhh....Ohhhh

gri,

Worked great on my 500 MHz AMD and Radeon 9200 SE!

Re: Any testers for this EMBM water?? - 09/16/04 05:10

Glad most everyone is enjoying it.

The geforce thing makes me want to freaking scream...................

Re: Any testers for this EMBM water?? - 09/16/04 22:16

Yeah, I've got a geforce at home... I'm bummed that I can't get this water effect to work.

Do you think that we'll still have these problems when we're able to use DX9 shaders and HLSL?

If so, I'm going to get a new freakin video card...

Every 3DGS shader seems to work with Radeon, but none with GeForce...

- GeForce FX5200

Posted By: Alkai

Re: Any testers for this EMBM water?? - 09/17/04 04:24

I've gotten every shader that I've tried to work, except certain water shaders (like this EMBM one).

Re: Any testers for this EMBM water?? - 09/22/04 01:02

I am helpless

could one give me a code for commercial, that works on a GeForce FX5700

Please !

Posted By: Steempipe

Re: Any testers for this EMBM water?? - 09/23/04 08:50

Never give up, they say....

So, if any geforce users feel brave... I did a complete teardown, and that means we need more testing.

Don't matter the scroll speed and direction. Just hope that you see it!

On my Geforce FX 5200, Directx 9c, the water plane is uniformly transparent grey.

Same setup, same result.

Re: Any testers for this EMBM water?? - 09/23/04 17:17

Arrrrr

....... okay, thanks for trying.

Looks like I go to the store and get a GeForce. Crap!

Posted By: Steempipe

Re: Any testers for this EMBM water?? - 09/24/04 02:19

Now its time to get down to business.... just installed a GeForce 5500 FX and sure as sh^&, the water is see-thru black!

I hope to post good news in the near future! Thanks all!!

Re: Any testers for this EMBM water?? - 09/28/04 08:03

On my brand new Geforce 6800 GT, the water is see-through black. What a shame - I spent $450 on that thing

Seethrough Black water on My Fx5200 too.. - 10/01/04 15:49

The water is see-through black on my P4 2.4c,512 MB DDR RAM,FX 5200 128MB (DX 9c)...is this a problem with the FX5200..or with your code ?

I think EMBM should work fine on any FX card..

Posted By: Steempipe

Re: Seethrough Black water on My Fx5200 too.. - 10/01/04 17:14

It has something to do with how nvidia does dependant reads and loopbacks. So at this time I am still considering why it can work with Microsoft examples, other DX examples, but not our FX files.
