The water

Megabot · 06-27-2002, 12:13 AM

Hey they say the water should be so cool to look at in the game but i dont think it is so darn great to look at, at all it look like "silver" or something all the time almost!

I read somewhere that the water looks so "butiful" in this game if you have GF card and i have a GF 3 with 128 mb ram and i have set all the video settings to max in the game still i dont think it is SO butiful the water!

Here is a pic how it look like!

The water looking better in the game "Drakan" with my Matrox G 400 Max card i think!!

I don't know, I am having GeForce 2 MX400 and I am yet to see any reflections on the water. Any tips?

most morrowind 'environmentalist' seem to be beginning gamers, especially to the rpg genre. of course, others just enjoy the effort put into this game, and admire almost everything about it.

well your water looks a lot better than mine

hah! my radeon 8500 makes the water look like real.

My water has changed dramatically with my new video card. It does look more realistic than it did before.

Get a Radeon, my water looks a lot better than that. Not Only do I have reflections of landscape (can't see my own reflection though, and I'm not even a vamp), but the reflection bends and stretches with waves and ripples.

Well your water looks pretty normal to me, you will se the most effect when walking in it actually also dependng on how much of real shading you have on..

I still think that the water in Severance is much better, but there were only small passages of water there, so not to big a strain on the card..

first off - there shouldn't be any difference in how the water looks on a geforce3/4 or radeon 8500. i got a radeon and the water looks exactly the same as in Megabot's picture.
secondly - i don't like the pixel shaded water much either. sure, it looks nice, but it just doesn't look like water, more like mercury [img]smile.gif[/img] .
