Title: Water reflections, particles, smoke/fire, and light example.
Post by: Venalan on April 23, 2015, 06:05:55 pm

So I recently posted a screenie of the plaza with real water for the first time. Well I've been adding to Hydlaa and have this to share.

A small video showing the effects I've added into the map so far.

Enjoy..

Dropbox does not do your clip justice, if you ask me... I recommend anyone wanting to watch it and see the awesome, download don't stream from dropbox... Also... maybe someone should post to the PlaneShift Official youtube channel?

Cool, does the effect cause any FPS drop? Looks very fluid.

I did some test with FPS, the six fountains I didn't really notice. The laanx temples flames are more intensive. But that is due to having two flames, embers+sparks with collision detection set, and also a light source which will cast real time shadows.

You can set all sorts of level of detail on them so things like the light only displays when you are really close, the same with the sparks and embers. This should optimise the effect so it looks best when only up close. Right now the sparks, embers and light would have been rendered during the whole of the video.

Looks like I also deleted this video without realising what it was.
