Brittainy Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I'm fairly new to Oblivion modding, so please excuse my lack of knowledge in this arena :happy: I've tested out about every water modification I can find, as well as googled for oblivion.ini tweaks, etc, and I've yet to find a modification that creates a water with a surface as transparent from beneath as it is from above. At present I'm using the Advanced Water Modification, since it has the sort of clear water and vivid colour I like. However, while the surface above water is beautiful, the surface as seen from below water is murky. Same with Clear Water, Natural Water, etc etc. You name it. (I've gone through all the mods I can find as well as tried to read up as much as possible about this and haven't been able to find an answer. So I hope people realise this isn't a plea for help without having at least tried to figure things out for myself :wacko: ) Is there a reason why the surface transparency is always so murky when underwater, while from above water you can clearly see to the bottom? Is it actually possible to change? Does anyone know of any mods which REALLY make it clear? One reason I chose the Advanced Water Modification is that the surface water from above very much reminds me of the beautiful water in Farcry. But, unlike Farcy, when you're underwater you can barely see anything through the surface. I realise this is NOT the most realistic desire, but frankly I like my water impossibly perfect and clear and not realistically murky. I just want it super clear, no fog, and to be able to see up through the surface. If anyone could offer a bit of advice or point me in the direction of a mod or even offer an explanation that such a thing isn't possible, it would really be appreciated :biggrin: If it can't be done, then I can give up on the idea. If it is possible, then at least I can get to work on trying to make it happen :) As yet, I'm rather stuck since I can't find documentation regarding surface transparency from BELOW. If the answer is something simple, then I can be very embarrassed for having missed it :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brittainy Posted July 17, 2010 Author Share Posted July 17, 2010 Obviously it wouldn't be a 'realistic' style of water, but as I said, I'm not chasing realism :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
