Water effects.

They look gorgeous !
I wonder if indoor bodies of water will cast reflections on walls ?

I believe the effect you're thinking of is called caustics. The watereffect isn't that fancy, but it has nice refraction effect.

I think caustics is calculating the internal refractions of a transparent shape. I think the reflection effect mentioned would be light bouncing off the uneven surface... but that could just be completely faked, as no one would be able to notice (or measure) accurate reflections on a wall from rippling water.

Yeah, caustics are usually faked in games. But either way, we don't have them. I agree they'd look great, but there's more important things still to do.

Thank you for your response Juho. I am counting the days to start playing LoG 2 !
