Post by: dhavalmistry on March 31, 2007, 12:45:45 AM
for this one I only used planet surface shader!!!...I want to make the ocean more reflective, I want it to reflect big round blog of the sun in the water....any tips on how to do this would be great!!!...little bit of post processing in photoshop....

Very interesting colors.  I honestly think that the sun is reflected a bit too much just by the atmosphere.

Nice.  I like the glow of the planet in general and the fiery glow in particular.  Great atmosphere, too.  Fool around with the GI to get your reflection...maybe.  I ran into trouble with that, though, due to some weird lighting effects.

I don't see the "ocean" reflecting anything. It looks like the entire surface of the planet is somewhat reflective. Did you apply a water or reflective shader to the scene? You can increase reflection strength, highlight intensity and highlight spread if you want a more distinct reflection.

Ah, then there is basic reflectivity - it's built-in to that shader. However you don't have enough control to get sharper specular highlights as you seem to want. Frankly I wouldn't bother with using the Planetary Surface Shader at this point. It's fairly experimental and rather limited. You can get a similar effect with far more control using the last version of "Teracell": http://forums.planetside.co.uk/index.php?topic=754.msg11128#msg11128

:O Woah!!

You so need to make the sun green.

Do you know Command and Conquer 3:Tiberium Wars?

If the reflection colour was green..and it glowed a lot..that would look so good.
And I mean, so good.
