I'm just curious, but how did you make those meshes in the video move when the player ran through them? That looks so cool and realistic! Good work Vurt.

It's come from MGE XE. It's applied to the grass animated. When you walk in it, the grasses lie down.
So maybe his meshes are named grass to be used like grass animated?

Elaura: after some more thought i i think it will be a combination random placement and hand placed reefs. The FPS hit (above sea level) was too big to have the whole sea floor covered with corals and different rock formations.

and yes like papill6n says it's the grass shader that makes the corals move.

i wish there was a way to edit that shader to only "effect" certain meshes, like.. just grass. Skyrim has small rocks everywhere which look like they were generated with the grass, except they don't move. the ashlands would look so much better with little rocks everywhere.

The grass shader only works if you put the meshes into /grass, otherwise buildings, rocks etc would move too, so it's fully possible to use the Mesh Generator for rocks, or trees or whatever

The problem with adding little rocks all over the place is that you either have to remove clipping from them (looks ugly when you / creatatures / NPC's clips through them) or you leave collision on and you and every NPC will get stuck all the time.. You can make the rocks extremely small and remove collision to make it less obvious that there's no clipping, but imo (i've tested this when i did the groundcover mod) it wasnt really worth the FPS hit. ...and its still ugly when the feet clipped though the rocks.

This is just beautiful! I may have to play an Argonian for the first time to experience this.

Would it be possible to post the details for the modified underwater effects shader you are using?

change

return c + rayz * lf * lightcolour;

to:

return c + rayz * lf * lightcolour * 5;

Thanks

any progress?

This looks amazing!

This is fantastic. I want it!

It'll definitely add more to the seas of Morrowind and make them seem more realistic.

You may have outdone yourself here Vurt....and I thought your trees and grass mods were amazing..this is simply astonishing and gorgeous!

First thought: Vurt's still making mods!
Second thought: After covering all the lands in a second green, Vurt turned his gaze towards the deep oceans....

But seriously, this looks nothing but great, just like all of your work.

Having this along with abot's water life would be great. Having a couple of modest ruins or other "points of interest" to make exploring a bit more exciting or rewarding would be perfect.

Is this mod even in the works still?

Hah, he started in January, not a long time

I'm sure it's more or less on the way.

I am just impatient i guess

so few mod about under water world during years and this looks nice. good luck.

My first CE enchant will be waterbreathing for sure!

Abot's waterlife has a couple of CE waterbreathing helms, one with negative effects and one without. I'll bet the two mods would go fantastic together.

Abots waterlife has always turned me off with the pearl palace -.-
Maybe ill try it.

Abot's water life is a really good mod to have imo and this mod would make it look a lot better.

Not to derail the thread, but the palaces are an option you can turn off in the config menu after equipping the ring.

Me too!

This is beautiful and very climatical.
