 Description  « Hide
One of the things that was really nice in Runitai Linden's water that still hasn't been included in the Windlight viewer is the edge effect. In Runitai's water the frequency and/or amplitude of part of the shader program changes depending on the depth of the water, so that large waves were only seen in deeper water and shallower water got smaller and less choppier waves.

I've been thinking there's something "wrong" with Windlight water but I didn't realize until just now exactly what the problem was.

Would it be possible to retain this effect in Windlight?

I never noticed this, but by the way it sounds it's pretty neat.

Water-Comparison.png - Snapshots demonstrating the difference between Runitai's water and Windlight's water.

Runitai's water looks so much more realistic with the edge effect.

I thought about this a while back, but never really knew anyone did anything about it. It would be awesome if it was in Windlight

This issue was resolved as "Needs More Info" during our batch cleanup because it was set as affecting First Look: WindLight. On the Issue Tracker, we've noticed many duplicate issues and issues that lacked actionable info or were already fixed.

WindLight recently "graduated" from a "First Look" technology preview to Release Candidate status – nearing inclusion in the main viewer with your help! So, "First Look: WindLight" does not exist anymore.

More info and how to download the RC viewer: http://blog.secondlife.com/2008/03/06/new-release-candidate-viewer-1191-rc0-available/

If you've verified that this issue is still a problem in the newest Release Candidate, here's what to do next:

(1) Search the Issue Tracker to make sure it isn't a duplicate of an existing issue we know about. If it is, link it as a duplicate using the "Link this issue..." link on the left. You can learn more about searching by watching this video tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAlXK5hSVMc

(2) Reopen the issue and BE SURE to update the "Affects Version/s" to the correct one, most likely ONLY "1.19.1 Release Candidate". However, if this bug affects the main viewer (1.19.0 as of this writing), then DO NOT set it to an RC version. Only set it to 1.19.0 instead. Be as specific with versions as possible – there's generally no need to set multiple versions, as it tends to dilute and confuse where a bug originated.

(3) Add any other relevant details that would help us fix it. We can't stress the importance of a "solid repro" enough – a reliable series of steps to make a bug happen reliably.

(4) Come and attend our inworld bug triages, where you can meet with Linden Lab employees to look at, verify, and expedite bugs for fixing. More info @ http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Bug_triage

Thank-you for helping us improve Second Life!

Torley, could you tell us what kind of "more info" you're looking for when you ask for more info?

I even missed that you'd "resolved" it.

Updated to 1.19.1.4 release, as this issue still exists with WindLight rendering.

This isn't a "new feature", Alexa, it's an "old feature" that's been broken.
