An update is now available on the beta branch which adds water. This can be controlled in the scene properties or in code with the following commands:
World::SetWaterMode(bool mode) World::SetWaterHeight(float height) World::SetWaterColor(float r, float g, float b, float a) bool World::GetWaterMode() float World::GetWaterHeight() Vec4 World::GetWaterColor()
You must update your project to get new EXEs and shaders. All model shaders have been modified to handle the slice plane used when rendering reflections. A new set of textures have also been added in "Materials\Effects\Water" to handle the surface perturbation.
Caveats / Notes
- When underwater, no post-processing screen wobble or fog is applied like in Leadwerks 2. This is because Leadwerks 3 has a customizable post-process stack, so the end user can control this.
- The water physics are not 100% done and behave oddly.
- There is a bug where switching projects does not reset the water settings to the default.
- At this time there are no water quality settings, though the renderer uses the lowest possible quality in the reflection pass.
- This build has been tested on every hardware / OS configuration except AMD on Linux.
