Very Cool Stuff Mate.

I got some more done. those static pics don't really let you see whats going on.



Also, there are over 50 units on the level. I don think I planned on much more than 5 to 10 each for 4 players when I first set out LOL.  but the only slowdowns are when many units fight for the same position.

Spectacular work, Scott!  I'm impressed!

thanks, man.


I needed a break from normal coding and did some NORMAL coding. well, I did some shader code and blending some blender wave bakes into normal for fake ocean waves.

attached show a snip of how shader look in the editor it's about 1:1 what it looks runtime.

Looks great, bro. Shadows do a great job of adding realism.

Very cool, Scott.  I envy your talents!

I have to work but here is a super quick vijaeo of it working.

Very, very cool, Scott!  Excellent!

Yep, that's super cool.

Thanks, guys, I will have to re-visit the shader code where it hist the shore when I learn more about the math for orienting the UV's relative to the slope of the depth below.

Tonight I want to decide on a way for units to take commands including targetting.

This is all putting me in the mood to play an RTS, like AOE2 or Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds. I may have to do one of those tonight.

I'm getting the same kind of feeling!

messing with shaders way too much. coded a shader that makes the normals and displaces the surface normals live.
uses no textures .. yet

I'm working on the colouring now.

Wow, dude!

I have the water depth blending working as I need.
i need to work on edge foam and the wave crest effect more

as you can see the wave crest generator is quite intense in the distance.

I'll fiddle with it in here and merge to the RTS later. now I wan get the command issuing working
