How I implemented easy Caustics in OpenGL!

[@akidevcat]

Actually you can sample the texture twice with two somewhat opposite scrolling directions and do max() with both results. It would give you a nice animation effect that looks much nicer than a static scrolling texture. You can do the same thing with water waves texture and similar stuff

I didn't know about this trick, thanks 💪

That's amazing!!!

[@lowlevelgamedev9330]

thanks 💪💪

Awesome! I was planning to do water caustics soon and thought you only applied it on the surface of the water lol. I guess that would be a separate sea foam texture or something

[@lowlevelgamedev9330]

hm I haven't sren peoole apply sea foam on water that would actually be interesting 💪

[@trickbaggames6579]

One way to do it if you just have one water height would be to determine a fragments position in world space and if it's under the water height add the caustic effect.

[@lowlevelgamedev9330]

yes that is a nice point 💪
