Any news on when we will have the the new water sliders , because at this time the water only looks nice when you look at it from one direction . if you change direction then it becomes flat .



will the new water settings / sliders compensate for that or will it still be like that ?

Just like the real thing ? It depends which way the sun is reflecting the ripples ..
The only problem with GG is the sun doesn't move so it always looks the same so the sliders wont really help anyway.
But those shots look fine .. What's the problem with them ?

Hehe! I always wanted big ripples like this Edit: In proper english "big ripples" are called waves. Oh well!



But yeah, I'm sure we'll get more control on it later. Have you tried editing the .fx file? I'm sure there are some tweakables.

Make sure to only edit something marked as "tweak" or "tweakable". And make a safety copy...that way you can go nuts.
It should be water.fx. Water_basic.fx should be the x9 one.

The one thing it doesn't do is give choppiness
Even so its a huge step forward for the water

you can make the current water shader look exactly like the above, i did add many different parameters to the shader that you can adjust to your needs , and sure the "slider" change will make it more easy to make those changes , but i already made everything as parameters so you can already do it now!.

This is the parameters i made available in the shader water_basic.fx:



You should try to change the distortion/genericwaveIntensity values to get more waves, and use the flowdirection to set the direction of the water
