[quick update]



First 1080p video: Water Test… achieved by making minimal modifcations to Lighting.vert (this is a perfect SI candidate, shhh) …

Nothing at all revolutionary here, only took couple of hours, would make a good Introduction to Vertex Shaders type project:
1) Take a super simple Sine over time displacement equation;
2) Apply displacement to the y position of each vertex
3) In this case, since the water is not a separate mesh (optimizations), use the Size buffer as a flag to mask the effect onto only the water tile vertices;
4) Optional extra: give PreShadow.vert the same treatment so shadows are correctly calculated;
5) Sit back and enjoy a very basic vertex shader tweak.

[quicker update]



toyed around with some some new tile types & rebuild the animation system - new anims are very sloppy but will do to job for now…
