hey everyone, does anyone out there know where to get high quality water textures? you see, ive started on the landscape for my game and i really need free animated water textures for the rivers and oceans…thanks!
don’t know about water textures but www.texturemaker.com has loads of decent free textures and you’ll probably find what your looking for in there somewhere
yeah, ive already checked there site out…and atleast in the water textures department there textures didnt reach the standerds of quality im imposing on my game. er…what i mean is, is that none of there textures truley would look like a river, ocean beach, etc in realtime…anyone else have any other resources that might work?
I would highly recomend using procedurals to make your water texture. Water is so dynamic that having a fixed texture is going to look really wrong when animated.
Great site for textures: Animax (although no water textures)
yeah, you rarely see anything like what you’re describing even in commercial games. I recommend procedurals too, if you can.
Try Caustics Generator. You can make nice animate water caustics with it http://www.lysator.liu.se/~kand/caustics/
well, were really raising the bar for blender games with vertigo, i wont settle for unanimated, unrealistic water…and btw, most commercial games actually do have some animation with there water…i would use procedural textures or caustics but remember…blenders game engine supports neither(atleast i dont think it does :o )…the most efficient and best looking answer would be animated water textures, preferably seamless…the only thing is, is that i cant seem to find any for free ANYWHERE! :x …argh, im on the verge of paying someone to look for some for me 
, hey! dont get any ideas, im not that desperate…yet 
…alright then, ill try the animax site, hopfully they have atleast tree limb cels…guess thats it, thanks for the help so far tho everyone…
hmmmmm
when do you need them by ?
is it fast moving water?
what kind of water you looking for?
im going away for a week but if you can wait i’ll see what i can do. email me if you dont find anything!
or check out the real time section and look at the new water plug in
:o whoooaa…just checked out the new water plugin, man this is perfect!!! 
it should work very well for the game, but evenstill if any of you have good water textures tell me cause i might still need them…steve303, if somehow the water plugin doesnt satisfy me and i cant find textures ill contact you…btw, if your intrested in actually working a bit on the game itself PM me…
well unfortunantly, the new water plugin isnt going to be effective for vertigos landscape…sad really…but hey! tommorowman! its a great plugin, why couldnt it work, you ask? well, to really to get a good looking ocean with it, you would need a plane subdived untill it got up to a face count of about 2000, which the game definintly cant afford! and thats not counting rivers, lakes, and ponds…seems that an assortment of low file size water textures is the still the ticket! steve303 check your inbox
