I have updated the water again, with a focus on underwater effects!


Whoa
WHOA! Oh man, oh man is this another breakhrough in technology? I mean, I just checked this with Oblivion’s water and I tell you, that water sucks compared to this. Really, it’s like… nothing.
You look up, and you see nothing you can’t even make out things because it’s like a huge glass mirror that blocks everything above the surface. Besides from some sun, there are like hardly any spots (besides shallow water) that actually show underwater effects like this, great job David! This is really some amazing work.
If you look up in real water, though, much of it does indeed look like a mirror. This is known as total internal reflection and happens at the transition from a higher-index-of-refraction substance to a lower-index one.
awesome man…. hope you can sneak up on enemies underwater, those pesky wolves won’t smell you…..
The only problem in my eyes are the son, it looks wierd under water, like its between you and the water, instead of on the other side of the water, but the rest of it looks great!
