Reflectivity

jbest · August 17, 2010, 02:18:32 AM

Any idea how to make things reflective in Terragen 0.9? If it is not possible then I guess if I want to make any reflective things I have to make them in Terragen 2.

What have you tried so far? It is possible to "make things reflective in Terragen 0.9."

I tried making the smoothness of the terrain as smooth as I could get, but it still didn't get an glassy, icy look. I wasn't sure what else to do. When I meant "reflective" here, I meant "like ice."

Thanks

Start with water shader. In it, reduce the waves and turbulence. Reduce the transparency and depth. Put it on your smooth terrain.

Is it possible to do this on vertical terrain?

Yes, try it.

The problem is ... how would you get the water on the vertical terrain? $:-\$

If you really want ice on vertical surfaces use TG2.

Hmmm, I can't remember there being a water shader in TG 0.9, just a 'water level'. But, yes, just use TG2!
