Transparent water

[lefebvredl]

Hi everyone !

I am looking for a sh5 crystal clear water, i have tried 4 or 5 different mod and I always get the blury look after 100 feet and the plancton that float like swamp things...

I have saw on this site a real crystal clear water, I like that look under water .

If someone could point to me which mod does the job, I would appreciate

Thanks for all the good works

Hi Welcome to the forums!

You can try this mod (http://www.gamefront.com/files/17813752/underwaterclear.zip) which seems to do what you want to. Here's the link to pictures of it (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=188330).

Hello lefebvredl.

Welcome aboard.

The file data/Misc/impurity.dds contains the "plancton". Try open this with i.e. PaintNet, make it transparent and save.

The blurry underwater look could be changed by editing the data/shaders/HDR/DOF_PS.fx file.

Open in notepad and change to:


-------------------------

#include <data/shaders/hdr/common.inc>
float2 g_focalDistance : register(c0);

struct PS_IN
{
float2 Tex0 : TEXCOORD0;
};

float4 main( PS_IN In ) : COLOR
{
float depth = tex2D(tex1, In.Tex0).r;
float interp = saturate;

float3 color = tex2D(tex0, In.Tex0).rgb;
//return float4(depth, depth, depth, 1);
//return float4(interp, interp, interp, 1);
return float4(color, interp);
}




-----------------------------

This is from a mod by vickers03.


In the Dynamic Environment 2.1 the data/Misc/underwater_disp_map.dds deals with another underwater effect.


Try a combination of this three files should be clear underwater, maybe Dynamic Environment 2.1 light as a base, then the impurity, then the shader (fx) file.

Dynamic Environment's 'Shallow Waters' add-on mod might be worth a look too (make sure you get the patch as well!). Find it in the main Dynamic Environment pack/thread. :salute:

Since real life seawater transparency from above is ony crystal clear
when silent smooth water surface presents itself or in shallow waters
I want to have a less water transparency seen from above.
To what number of which factor in which file should the original be changed in order to get it?
