I have added terrain reflection. Notice that under water terrain gets above water to disturb the view when reflected. So you must chop off the under water part of the terrain for the reflection, which is not easy.



Here is a bandwidth sucking image.

Beautiful, although the ripples do look a little weird. Maybe making the ripples bigger would look nicer

good job

the terrain reflection is very neat. I added a sphere into the game and draw it in the kaamera draw event...I tried setting it up the same way as you did the terrain but I couldn't quite get it.
I wanted to reflect the ball as well as it flies over the terrain.

anyway, great job on the trick, I hope to see a real reflection one of these days brac!

You see, this works by faking distortion using GM-D3D's alpha glitch. So you can't "reflect" anything other than the skysphere. If you want real reflection, use the surface fix for GM-D3D or use the shader power of your GPU by using a DLL.

yeah, I meant surface fix for an actual reflection. maybe I'll study up on view direction/reflection and take a stab at it.

You can easily draw a sphere and its reflection, as I did now in the above link, but the distortion effect is not very great. The terrain does not reveal so clearly that its distortion is not so great. I tried to improve the distortion a bit with a shear transform.

I adapted the terrain reflection scripts as well. You can choose any plane of reflection now, not just z=0. Furthermore, I added some options to the scripts. I will document them another time.

EDIT: the reflection scripts are documented now.
