#21 Not a problem, it was something I really really needed to get done.. right now I'm just working on the particulates in the water portion. You guys did a good job with the original one. I just got bugged because I would come back to a running sim and see some funky distortion. I did that enough to find that it was directly tied to the time someone spends below water and it's linkage to the calculation. So I added what I've used in the past for this and figured, if anyone else here would like to use it I don't see why not. Hell, that one shader gave me the push to actually sit down and go over how the shaders are implemented in T3D in the first place.

#22 Smally,

Very nice. I have been testing your fix and it seems really solid. I am going to update the zip and add it to the final if that is ok with you.

#23 Yup, that's 100% ok.. I hereby donate it. I don't mind throwing in where I can :D On that note.. would you like the GUI for the postfx menu that I added for it? So it can be easily adjusted? I made this as a tab for underwater effects, but I only got around to adding in the distortion, works fine though.

#24 Sure, I have been working on a new UI for all of the post effects stuff. Basically, trying to make it more of 'first class citizen' rather than feeling like it was an afterthought. I will just a similar hook to add in the caustics part of the shader to your turbulence stuff. Too easy.

You can zip it up and send to my gmail.com account kapaun01@ or you can post it here, whatever works for you.

#26 @Everyone,

I have changed the source files to match what smally added. This is a good fix and I will be adding this to final 'postFx' tools.

A big hand goes to him for fixing the turbulence resource. This is what community development is all about! Thanks smally!

#27 Thanks all around, really. I wouldn't have kicked in to it if I didn't see this... well not so quickly at least. :)
