somebody around here an idea for that?
what i want to do:
mesh 1
*will be generative and dynamic
*will be kind of unregular: something like a heavily deformed plane
*shall be used as a kind of mirror.
a light source or even a projected texture shall be reflected under influence of mesh 1’s normals onto
mesh 2
hhhhmm
Same stuff i’m working it, any result ?
talking about caustics ?
that’s exactly what i had i mind.
any news about caustics? because i need something like that… really probably me need is much simple, because i need only the light effect of caustics (like an underwater scene)
uuh recently i thought about it again.
no progress indeed.
ok ;))
i don’t know if it help, but i found [Hydrax | Ogre Wiki
|this ocean simulator] for ogre. It calculates some stuff, and the caustics too, but, if you download it and take a look of it you can see that they use a bitmap sequence as animated map. This could be a solution (and they caustics texture seems good enough, it is tileable perfectly and it loops perfectly). Not an elegant way, but probably the result will be good. I haven’t tried it yet, but i will test it soon ;)
the direct link of the sources of this plugin for ogre is this
Inside this rar you find the animated texture in this path:
