I am working on an ambitious racing game with a "community" of one person (Variety Racing) and I need a decent water shader for the outer portions of the track.

I have the Commercial Edition of 3dgs. However, I have tried several water shaders. Each one makes the water black (an oil tanker crashed ) or completely invisible. Can someone help me find a shader that works?

If you tried any shader around here and everything went black or invisible you should consider buying a shader cappable graphics card before asking any more because most shaders here actually DO work.

Actually, I don't have to. I tried a certain shader just a week ago on here, and it gave beautiful effects. Not in my game, in the sample level. Would the fact that I have the Commercial Edition and not Pro be anything related to the problem?

no.

in your case, i think that you portet it wrongly.

The water shaders posted here work.. you need to follow the instructions better..

i use this code.Very fine and works on my old graphics card (GeForce3Ti200) and on my new 6600Gt. in this Download are the codes and all you need. there is an demo too.

It works! Thanks.

BTW, I'm just wondering if you can actually produce a mirror image of, for example, the car jumping over the lake (or the cow jumping over the moon ). Or is this a Pro-Edition-Only type thing?
