    Cool Environment mapping

    I have a nice big landscape, and I'm adding a plane as a kind of water level. Problem is, it looks pretty pants, so I thought a little reflectiveness would be nice. So, how do you apply environment mapping to an object?

    Any ideas? The DX SDK examples only cover it in C++ and I'm not quite understanding the SDK help stuff.

    Thanks

    I dont know. When I get home, and have some code availible, as well as my trusty SDK, I will see what I can cook up for you.

    Do you know how to at least read C++ code? If not, I recommend trying to at least figure out what some simple stuff does. It will help you in programming overall, not just in DirectX. You can ask questions in the C++ forums here if you need some help.

    Talking this may be the answer you seek

    I came across this in a tutorial I found, I can't remember the URL but here is the VB bit minus huge BMP.

    flip the bitmap you want to reflect 180 and apply some of these principles. check out ripple at about 6 or 7 :-)

    hope this helps, BTW am quite happy to play test it for you later if you want.

    What you also could do is instead using a plane for your water level, you could make it a matrix of points and have ripple effects.
    "Can't" and "shouldn't" are two totally separate things.

    All questions should be answered. All answers should be true. That is why I post.
