Would prefer vs 1.1 as thats what I can see when playing Halo 1. Thanks for the heads up

The guys on the shader forum and Joozey's above spost seem to have it pegged to a refraction type thing for the surface effects so I think I have a good head start now thanks to all of yous @ Chaotic Dragon, thanks mate but the guys here are just as good, appreciate the willingness to go far on this one. Thanks heaps ...

Best option would be to use three frames. - Render the level without the character. - Render again with the character, and the character uses the first frame for refraction. Not the best method, but it'll work Hopefully someone else will have a better idea xXxGuitar511 - Programmer
