Water!

[mcm2boys]

I haven't tested it, but looking at the different channels in PS i would say the red channel controls the depth. It looks like the parts where you see white or turquoise the green and blue channels are at max (ie 255) - but i don't know if that is important they might control something in the water or not.

Thanks

I'll test it later.

[Danwasaki]

Could you maybe post some Depth maps and UV maps from the default maps if thats possible?

[TwizardT]

for my track i used tints of blue, the lighter the deeper

[Danwasaki]

Than I could make the depthmap white

One question: How deep is your water? Wheel height or more?

[TwizardT]

i think just over wheel height, thats the deepest i could get it

[Danwasaki]

Could you maybe show me your depth and uv map?

[TwizardT]

my uv-map:


and my depthmap:

[Danwasaki]

Thanks you but the water is not heighter.
Only wheel height...

This would be better! xD

I know, so creators of DE if its possible could you make the water able to be deeper?
so it would be a little more realistic if you would drive through a river or something.

[Danwasaki]

You cannot build a lake if the water height "only" goes to the wheels...

I've looked into the files, and I believe the water can be at any height.  To do this, there would need an update to DE.  I'll let Laurie know, and hopefully it should be easy to include into the next update.

Underwater tracks?

The water system needs a big upgrade, this was a quick and dirty way to get it in so you could use it in tracks and i could learn a bit more about using it. I'm in the middle of a big housekeeping update to DE right now so an update to the water will be out with that.

[Danwasaki]

Than I/we have to wait for the update.

[mcm2boys]

I'm afraid so, does aabsolutely have to b a deep lake?

[Danwasaki]

In my case not...
It would only be better and more realistic.

[mcm2boys]

You could make it look deeper by using darker colors and making it less transparent using the water settings, though i haven't got any advice on what those would be right now. Also the deeper water will need me to add some editing functions and a water object which will take a while to do, so if you are in a hurry to get the track done then you might want to look at other options.

[Danwasaki]

No I am not in a hurry it is more a test track And I want to upload it in the future.
So I have very much time but its a good idea to with the dark color.
