Off course when I said tessellate it mean given it some geometry, this is not Crysis 2

And if the mesh is a bit animated better, I mean that it is not a huge task because you dont need rely on textures displacement correction techniques


It could be a fast way to obtain a good detail and release it prior to the final approach, that its Tessellate + Bump-mapping + texture displacement, explained here :

Forget say ...

Yeah, Ptex is not an AMD tech, it simply rely in the hardware compute capabilities of the card to do it, mean Nvidia and AMD cappable tech, while the Nvidia tech for texture correction rely on Physx software and Cuda cores.

Bump mapping is an old technique, it's not used in conjunction with tessellation.

Ptex can be done with OGL 3 end D3D 10

ohh ... I guess I'm getting old , thanks for the correction, now I understand all

So the top work is Tessellation + Displacement + Displacement Correction (Ptex)

But talking about water I think that you can drop the Displacement Correction, there no panel lines there , it should be fine just doing Tessellation + Displacement, and that water should be some thing worth to see really
