Animated water textures

by Brian Wells · in Torque Game Engine · 03/17/2005 (8:28 pm) · 2 replies

I won't ask if it is possible, because I am sure it is (anything is possible right?). However, has anyone actualy used an animated water texture? Either an IFL or some other format? I am looking for a way to improve the appearance for the TGE water since bump mapping or something like it would reduce performace a lot.

Even with good textures it seems like it is not as good as I am after. Since it may be a while to wait for TSE /w water, I am looking for a quicker route.

Thanks :)

TSE water is much nicer.

You could pretty easily tweak the water code to just have an animated tiling texture on it. There's a single texture hande that's used, I'd suggest just switching between multiple textures.
