2 Xavyiy Thanks for explanation.
2 Others who was saying that everything correct - look at screenshots careful: everything - ground and palm waves too.

Yes they wave a little, in reality underwater objects wouldn't appear distorted to underwater observer, but who cares, it looks better this way.

If you're in the plain land, far away from cities and their dust/steam cloud and cities / villages and their light sources, you can really see ALOT of stars if you look up there - in this demo, it's just that they are not grouped into nebulas galaxies, stuff, whatevars - so the whole pattern leaves the impression like a blanket poked with a needle.

Brings me to the point : Will it be able to define own star skydomes, so you can i.e. use different skies for different worlds/maps ? Also, can it be possible to add not one, but for example two, three or four moons ? That would be an interesting option.

Great work, i was almost drooling when i played around with the the demo. ;o)
The caelum stars are very nice. It'd be great if these libs could cooperate.

Could SkyX render to a small cubemap?

The use would be a reflection cubemap for metals.

Very nice.

The default app ran fine for me. On XP SP2 and an athlon dual core 2GHz 1 gig ram, nvidia 7950GT 512 meg ram (with older driver 163.75) I got an average of 36FPS, 1280x1024 fullscreen no AA.

I get a consistent ~90 fps on my nvidia GTX 275 no matter what res I run it at... cpu bound. Even tried 640x480. Have you considered splitting out the expensive cpu based operations on to their own thread?

I found a slide in a CryTek presentation that showed how they do underwater rendering. Not sure if you already saw it, but it looks useful:

If you have troubles with Hydrax + Shadows, please post in the Hydrax Addons Forum. If it is a general Ogre problem, you are way wrong in this thread ;) .

All is done in his freetime, so we have no right to moan for him not having released anything yet. Just be patient!

Xavyiy,
Added SkyX to my project and it totally refreshed the whole view, I really love it :)
Have one question though: can SkyX work in multi-display/camera environment?
This is how it was with Caelum (very old photo, but it shows what kind of environment I have): http://thedays.ru/IMG_0116.jpg
I don't have an opportunity to test it now, so I'm wondering: will SkyX properly render clouds in such situation?

Depending of how the multi-display system is designed(I haven't any experience in this field), but I think it should, you've to try it, and.. if it doesn't, I'm sure we're going to be able to get it working with some changes :)

P.D.: At the moment I'm working(design etap at the moment) on a game engine(at really a showcase engine, for my paradise codename project, but in a future maybe a full game engine) which will use Ogre for rendering so.. in some months I'll start to update Hydrax/SkyX frequently :)

OOOOO!! I will have a look at doing that. Out of interest Xavi I noticed that SkyX does take a camera for an input, what data does it need from the camera, is it just height!??

When i tried to compile the demo, I got some problems about the bloom effect
The sky becomes glaringly when the bloom effect enabled
But there is no problem to run the downloaded Hydrax-Sky tech demo

Is there any idea how to solve it?
I'm using Vista, Ogre 1.6.4, VS 2008, HD4350

thx

===

I solved it.
It's just because OgreSDK has the same file name with bloom material.

When you go up high in the sky, you start to see a black zone where hydrax and skyx meet. The higher you go the wider this zone becomes.

Here's a screenshot:

Yes.. I have noticed the problem too.. Is this something to do with the view distance of the camera? Is there a solution or workaround for this?
I have also noticed some weird things if u set the near-clip distance too low..
