SO DOWN! looks sexy mate!

For the ice... have you considered creating a custom non-animated "water" texture?

Pull apart HL2 and you can try using reflectiveglass002.vtf or reflectiveglass003.vtf as a basis for ice. This way, your reflections will be much more pretty. Sadly, it still won't reflect the main character you play as... but I think it will reflect other characters, which is awesome and a huge plus over cubemaps and the way you're doing it now (I think).

I tried making an ice texture to show you, but I was having problems getting my "$basetexture" and "$envmapmask" to show up, so I commented those out... but I created a nifty normal map to refract the light.

Here is a sample... just imagine this with a layer of snow overtop. Also, the normal map is probably much too strong. Still, here's an example:




This is what I have...


--- Code: ---
"lightmappedreflective"
{
//"$basetexture" "glass/reflective_ice"
//"$envmapmask" "glass/reflective_ice_mask"
"$translucent" 1

"$refracttexture" "_rt_WaterRefraction"
"$refractamount" "-0.2"
"$refracttint" "[1 1 1]"

"$reflecttexture" "_rt_WaterReflection"
"$reflectamount" "0.2"
"$reflecttint" "[1 1 1]"

"$fresnelpower" "1"
"$minreflectivity" "0.5"
"$maxreflectivity" "1.0"

"$normalmap" "glass/reflective_ice_normal"

"$surfaceprop" "glass"
"$bumpframe" "0"
}
--- End code ---

I don't know why the snow part wasn't working... maybe something has to be added to the list of shaders in GE:S?

coolDisguise:
The map is really looking good.
Just a question: if I understood correctly the pond isn't as bright as before, because it's supposed to have a/some layer/s of snow above the ice. If there is so much snow on it that you could hardly see the ice, why would it be that reflective?

I see the thumbnails, but when I click on them nothing appears.

Oh well. No big deal.
