FOG and transparent plane with water texture

[LowPolyMan]

Hi there,

I have a terrain with a 50% transparent plane and a water texture.

Without using fog the water looks as it should, but when using fog the water texture changes all the time.

See screenshot.

"all the time" is a bit vague. Can you be precise, please?

Yeah a but vague :-)

I will try to make a little demonstration source so you can see what i mean or i make a simple video.

Here i made a sample.

Thanks for the test case. The reason for this behaviour is that fogging is implemented as a per vertex effect in most chips. The fog intensity will be calculated per vertex only and depends on the distance of that vertex from the camera. When rotating the plane, this distance changes and the larger the plane, the more effect does this have on the fog intensity (simply because the distance changes are big). YOu can improve this by triangulate the water plane. For example this

Code Select Expand


water = Primitives.getPlane(10, 900);


already improves it.
