[REL]Environment 4.1 new wave effects

Excellent wave effects!

JSF · 04-06-08, 03:21 PM

Nice work indeed...!

i love your mod but ive changed something on my rig and it "feels" more real now. Maybe you should try it too.

Try setting the ocean speed to about 0.4 or 0.5. It will make the waves move slower and appear heavier, more powerfull and more natural.

Wow!!

As usual, great work, looks stunning!

Fish40 · 04-06-08, 07:03 PM

Lookin real

!! Keep up the good work!

I quite agree with you on this point.
As a matter of fact ,the original LBO scene.dat uses a sea speed value of 0.55 for 15mps wind.

Dave sure knew what he was doing.

Right!

I think the young wave, the wave pace within wind speed of 6 meters should be a bit quicker, 8 meters should be slow to the wave of 15 meters of wind speed.

W_clear · 04-07-08, 05:23 AM

Is the wave of wind speed of 4 meters too small?

kriller2 · 04-07-08, 07:01 AM

It's hard to tell looking at the picture Wclear, it looks okay, but I think we need something to compare the waves with, a submarine maybe?

To see what the wave size should be for different wind speeds, go here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaufort_scale

Clicking on the small pictures will take you to a larger picture.

This has the entire Beaufort wind speed scale with pictures of the sea at the different wind speeds on the beaufort scale. The table for wind speeds has a column for m/s

Some of the pictures make it difficult to see how tall the waves truly are, but the reference table will help with that.

The appearance of the sea at each sea state has 2 or more components. The first is the wave height (also called swells), the second is the apperance of the wavelets which are on the surface of the waves. At higher wind speeds you add the appearance of foam and spray. At really high wind speeds the actual waves are breaking and having spray blown off them instead of the wavelets.

It is importrant to note that, because of the game engine, wave heights equal to state 9 seas or higher will cause the "flying boats" pretty consistantly. State 8 sea wave heights occasionally cause the 'flying boat".

No, that looks quite good in terms of size to me. Keep it!

Wow do I want to try this mod
