Pro not needed. It is looking up into a cubemap texture based on a non-constant eye-ray vector.

This example is a static environment mapping, the code could lend itself to specular reflection as well.

Very good work.
Only a question what happened with the nice ripples from the water demo you released (without code)?

The ripples are scaled larger in the code release, by the RippleScale var. That's all.

What must I change in the code when I add it to my template 6 main Skript ?

You released it! GREAT!
This is really some kind of christmas for me! And it works on my good old geforce 4
Thanks very much this is a great contribution!
Only one question coming to my mind: Which value did you set for the ripple scale var in the first demo you released and which ripple test did you use there (1,2 or 3) ?
I know it is the same code, but the settings from your demo look even better then those you set here!

Thanks!

Try: RippleScale = 0.18;

and use this:
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Ripple Test #1
//
Out.Bump= (IN.Bump.xy * RippleScale) + (IN.Bump.xy += (vecSkill41.x * 0.02));
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

That might get you in the ballpark.

Thanks that's exactly what I was after, getting nice results using this!

Oh well, another question popping up out of nowhere
Where can I adjust the water's flow speed and direction?

Try replacing your Out.Bump with this and see what you can do:

Code:

---

 
        ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
	float2 WaveDir;
	float SpeedComp = {0.02};   // Adjust depending on the 
				    // RippleScale setting
	
	WaveDir.x = IN.Bump.x * RippleScale; 
        WaveDir.x -= (vecSkill41.x * SpeedComp);  // Direction of U (either + or -)	
	
	WaveDir.y = IN.Bump.y * RippleScale;
	//WaveDir.y += (vecSkill41.x * SpeedComp);  // Direction of V (either + or -)
	
	Out.Bump = WaveDir.xy;
	///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

---

Thanks for your fast help... unfortunately this seems to produce some errors
As usual, a picture saying more than thousand words:

Any idea what could cause this?

Edit:
Hmm I don't know what has caused this... Anyway I got it working now, seems as if it was a rippleScale-issue somehow.
Looks nice now
