1 / Advanced Terrain Molder :
The terrain molder is fully working and own now a new graphical interface :


2 / Smoother rendering :
Once the ATM get finished and fully functional, I've worked a bit more on terrains. Now I setup the terrains normals so, it can be lighted by ambient light and RealTime Sky System too.
It gives that result :


3 / New Interface :
After this, I've worked on a new interface scheme. Why ? simply because there are so many options in screen that the display of the map become smaller so, each window at the bottom can be minimized to allow user see more of the map.
Here is a serie of snapshots that show the system running :
A:All opened

Bnly objects window is maximized. Others are minimized

C:All minimized


All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Here are some more snapshots showing last updates.

I try to make X-Quad Editor as WYSIWYG as possible.
Now simple skyboxes and Real-Time Skyboxes are displayed in editor :

**thanks for all positive comments**

I actually try to use some shaders for water/ocean rendering ... but I don't really find what I want.

Here are some *tests* snapshots :




I try to find a water shader that uses Reflection shading instead of cubemap founded if several ocean(s) shader(s)
If someone can help ...

How the hell do you use a water shader? I dunno what the hell needs to be done in order to make realistic reflected water. I've seen it on Dumbo(w) and Cool, Blue Light Online and now this! How do you do it?

@Gogetax & RooMilne : I simply used the default NVidia Ocean.fx given with old version of FX Composer

@Gogetax : really nice snap :p

@Lukas.W : I make some tests with your shaders but I don't find the wayt to mix the water texture I use and the camera image ... strange ... but your one is really interesting for me to study and find the best solution for x4

hmm, i wouldn't it just be as simple as just load a different texture for the water?

i dont have dbpro installed (i just re-installed windows because it wouldn't boot windows anymore ) so i can't try it out..

I made some changes especially with the camera used. Instead of positionning it to the same coordinate thant the main camera, it is positionned as a mirrored position from the water plain.
( 0 - Camera Position Y() )
it is better

Thanks
