I am sure that: a vessel reflectivity in water color has nothing to do with reflex_pac.tga.Now I can make the reflection more dark. But ............another problem emerged.:hmm:

You misunderstood.I am referring to is this
Reflective color, not the degree of reflection.
A red circle inside the color is not correct, unrealistic. This is wrong in my E. MOD .

Ah okay now I see what you mean, have you edited all the waterreflections parts of the datafile? - sometime there is a waterreflection hidding in another node.

To me it seems that a part of the ship, don't have the right relflection setting... :hmm:

Hi kriller2.


I try to adjust the ship DAT files, get half of the successful results(pic one two), I think you can adjust the DAT shipping documents, should be able to achieve PIC3 results. So I do not need to use my method of adjustment, because I will approach the other wrong.

Looks like the water is reflecting the color of the ship below the sink, and not the skin... :hmm:

Look closer at those pictures... looks like another ship...

The water should reflect the vessel not only in shape but in color as well. These look good to me.

Ship's reflection can be resolved, but the different of ship needs different of parameters , it's very heavy work.I will help KILLER2 to complete this work.

I'm guessing that the underwater image of the topside of a ship is simply the surface reflection mirrored, but in case it is not, it should be noted that the "ghost ship" occurs looking from below as well:
