KBcool Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) Don't get me wrong, I love the new water physics and I think the water itself, reflections and all, looks great. Hell, the game looks awesome in every way. Now I've been tweaking the graphics for a bit now and I've noticed something that I think needs addressing. I've applied all the water tweaks I can find and no matter what the reflections are only for distant land/objects (LOD reflections). If you look Here you will see that in oblivion there were some ini tweaks to allow for everything to be reflected, thus making the game look that much better. http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2006/features/hardware/oblivionmip/waterreflectionson.jpg Notice the reflection of nearby rocks, trees, and even the player (actor reflections). I'm sure most would think it nuts to want this slight improvement considering it's all superfluous, but then, isn't any ini tweaking? The game runs great and looks fine on all default but most have applied shadow ini file tweaks. I wonder if anyone out there has come up with any more settings or anything that could remedy this. Just a thought. Edited November 13, 2011 by KBcool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor. Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) Yea that would be cool, in Crysis there was a such thing as water reflection. I do believe dx 10 water dynamics can pull it off to. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBs9RzN30dg&feature=related Edited November 13, 2011 by Thor.

Ariellian Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 My issue is less with water in general as it is with the distant water texture, Might just be my setup, but water viewed from a distance looks this unnatural light blue. I was really put off by it :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seekirus Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 You can make it look better by doing tweaks to the ini file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlterMann22 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) Water needs a little reflection... Also, underwater is not good. Edited November 13, 2011 by AlterMann22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
