where's the water foam?

#1 On all three water object (plane, block, and river), the foam is controlled by the Ripples and Foam variables that are under the WaterObject category in the Inspector. The default setting for foam is set rather low, so if you want a more pronounced effect you'll need to tweak those values to get the effect you're after.

#2 I can get some image of whitecaps by increasing Opacity to 4 or 5 but thats all across the water body. I mean foam where the water intersects the shore and any other objects. Do we have a collision problem? And what does display looks lacking to me, compared to what the water looked like in prior versions of T3D.
Is the water going to be restored to its former glory???

#3 Are you using Basic Lighting or Advanced Lighting? Water appears very differently between the two.

#4 Last I checked, foam wasn't working for any settings in 1.1 Beta 3. I can do a quick re-check, but it's been broken since 1.01a, IIRC.

#5 Yep, that looks bust to me.

Wow, I hadn't noticed this for a long time then!

#6 @Michael I'm using advanced lighting.
Dusty and Steve thanks for the confirmation.
Guess I should submit it as a bug and hope it gets in the "final" release.

#7 I lost my water foam and whitecaps in 1.1 beta 2.... any link to a fix?

#8 Its just the settings "sensitivity" changed for lack of a better word to think of for it lol... these are taken in 1.1b3

#9 It looks like what you have there is whitecaps on steroids. Notice they appear all across the surface? Here is what it used to look like, remember?

Edit: sorry I couldn't get the pic to display here but the link works.
Thats not the foam texture in your pics.

#10 I just threw that together, screenied and uploaded it in like 2 minutes to show that 'something' can still be shown.

#11 if a comparison between Michaels "working" and this "working",

well,

this is not working.....

#12 I'll throw my hat in the "it's not working" ring as well.
We used to have some very nice foam along the terrain intersections with all water objects and after 2 days tweaking all the variables it's impossible to get anything except the "steroidal whitecap' mentioned above.

#13 Aye actually gotta agree having pulled out an older installation and reminded myself how it used to look oO

#14 Has it been reported as a formal bug?

#15 Yes, I reported it here-
www.garagegames.com/community/forums/viewthread/124302
but it hasn't been officially acknowledged yet.

Good to see you agree Andy, and everyone else too.

Mike

#16 After looking back at an old project I also would have to say that the current implementation is busted - foam definitely isn't appearing as nicely as it used to.

#17 its funny to see foam looking prettier in the free Demo than in the pro engine ;)

#19 Thanks Dave, glad to hear it.

#20 Hi, I managed to get this result on B3, it looks good enough for me, and I still see no reason to say it's "broken". It does not appear all across the surface, and you can modify everything, from the scale to the movements...
