#4 Ships_Reflect and Caustic_Environment Mod 5.1

Hello, Everybody


Got some great news ! my Caustic mod for REAL ENVIRONMENT is COMPLETE and packed up with directions......Now for the BAD news....can sombody tell me how or what I need to do to upload for the masses....never done that before if sombody can show me I would be greatful..... The end product is 338 meg zipped and unzipped 1009 meg yup, you read correct all 107 ship caustic effects are re-done....

Hello, All

Kriller was wondering if I was making an add-on for real enviroment, the answer to that question is yes, not so much an add on as it is in flipping on switches and days of adding numbers totaling about 107 ships in all adding my own tweaks and adjustment to the caustic ship generator effects which were completley disabled in the environment mod 5.0......come to find out when real enviroment was released I tried it with #4 ship reflections from environment mod 5.0, and the result was staggering......so I decided to take it a step further.....the water has been so well done with sharpness and clearness with the sun reflections, there was one major componenet missing, THE SHIP CAUSTICS !.....the mod will be named #4 Ship Reflect and Caustics envionment mod 5.1 this will be an add-on for real enviroment.....I in no way take credit for kriller and W_Clears work, I would just like the recognition for the Amount of time and effort in reactivation of every individual ship including scaf,trigger maru,ops monsun,and original SH4 ships, It is a very complicated process !!!

pictures and more detail will be coming forth soon....This is a work in Progress, but will be well worth the wait


I also heard about file front,

this mod is very big, will be 0.98 Gig unpacked, I will need to zip so mod will be smaller to download, keep in mind every ship 107 at last count have been reconfigured and tweaked to allow the caustics generator to function again with the amazing new real environments mod....I will need to figure out how to upload and what the best new sight is to do that...

Kriller and W_Clear....

what new sight will you be hosting your files on?

stay tuned.....


Here are some screen shots of the current eye candy, ship caustics redone for real enviroment !

About Ships Reflect:

It's only semi-finished products in the environment 5.0 of the Ships Reflect.3D MODE required at each node to increase Reflect, then adjust the parameters, is a complete Ships Reflect,so need a lot of time to adjust one ship.
This job is very time consuming, but I will finish it.

This is a complete



This is semi-finished products

Default Stunning Work !!!

Hello, W_Clear

It is really fantastic work you guys are doing....Believe me when i say I have a new appreciation for the amount of work that is required...to get things perfect, I now have 6 pages of my new ship parameters for the caustic effects, which are all in this upcoming mod, it was a staggering amount of work to copy down tweak and input all the numbers, but I did it.....take your time on the new ship reflect mod, and once your done then I can add all the updated caustics parameters and adjustments to make it all complete.....I think the new mod coming out for the caustics everybody will be happy with.....I did not get crazy, Cause I am shooting for realism....and it really looks stunning......

By the way, who are you going to use for new file hosting ?
