Transparent water
 

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 which seems to do what you want to. Here's the link to pictures of it.

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.

i tried this but evrything in some parts got just all blue

Thanks I will try it :)

You know what your taking about, Iwill certainly try this too and make my own crystal clear water , my goal is to have water like there is no water !

Thanks for the tipps :)

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?
