    [quick update]

    First 1080p video: Water Test.. achieved by making minimal modifcations to Lighting.vert (this is a perfect SI candidate, shhh) …

    Nothing at all revolutionary here, only took couple of hours, would make a good Introduction to Vertex Shaders type project:
    1) Take a super simple Sine over time displacement equation;
    2) Apply displacement to the y position of each vertex
    3) In this case, since the water is not a separate mesh (optimizations), use the Size buffer as a flag to mask the effect onto only the water tile vertices;
    4) Optional extra: give PreShadow.vert the same treatment so shadows are correctly calculated;
    5) Sit back and enjoy a very basic vertex shader tweak.

    [quicker update]

    toyed around with some some new tile types & rebuild the animation system – new anims are very sloppy but will do to job for now…


    (1080p ftw)

    … and I made a giant floating Oreo =)

    (… if you find the video is a bit dark, turn the brightness of your monitor up… let’s not make it my problem ;) )
