![]() Welcome to the Forum, luv.swans.
I'm currently working on new 3D models for all the fish, which will be necessary for more elaborate movements. I always dreaded doing this, and it is proving to be just as difficult as I thought it would. Also, the fan on my video card went out a couple of days ago. A new one is on the way, but for now I'm limited to just having the computer on for a few minutes at a time. ![]() it's hard enuf without the 'puter probs |

![]() Sorry to hear about your trials lately and we hope that you get through them well.
![]() As for the updates, any time Jim has something new for everyone to see a new version will be announced in this thread. Keep an eye out there and when something shows up plenty of discussion will probably be happening as well. As for the rest, I think I have seen you playing in our arcade at times ![]() ![]() Again, best wishes for your recovery................ ![]() arcade does help and I like it better than others I have tried kudos to all involved in creating, tweaking or whatever else they do to make this as special as it is, also really enjoy watching framework in action. |

I just upgraded to MA3 and I must say I'm quite thrilled with how it looks! If I may make a suggestion, I think it would be really neat if the fish themselves cast a murky shadow on the objects below them. I had noticed something didn't look quite right when the fish would swim near the bottom, and I realized that was the effect that was missing. Is this possible without too much technical demands?
Anyway, fantastic work! Worth every penny! |

It's incredibly difficult. I've always solved the problem before by simply not letting the fish get too close to the bottom. If you look at a real saltwater aquarium, the light is so diffuse that any fish which is more than an inch off the floor wil not cast any shadow at all.
But with the new tank, there will be instances when the fish (and other creatures) will get right down to the bottom, so I will end up having to create a way of doing shadows.

Jim... I think you could fix a lot of your problems by making the water murky. I recall diving in some pretty heavy plankton blooms where "shadows" did not exist.

Or another simple solution. The fish don't cast shadows.

![]() On the other hand - shooting a gun underwater is not recommended. ![]() |

That last statement depends on the gun.
![]() But I don't recommend just ramming your pistol under water and squeezing the trigger for a test.

The won't cast shadows in the night! I think a night mode would probably solve some issues...

When Jim gets around to upgrading the lighting it will make some differences. Unfortunately I'm not sure if it will make it worse or better.
PS. I had forgotten about you winning that tournament we had YT. We need to have another one. ![]()
