This sample doesnt seem to work for me it causes problems with the for loops:

for (int x = 0; x < Tesselation-1; x++)

it underlines the ‘;’ after -1 and the ‘)’

Nota bene: my previous fix didn’t really work. If you receive the debugging message about not having a valid vertex or pixel shader, then you will probably have to set the pixel shader device version to 2 in the .fx file, instead of 3.

Hey Sarge,

The pixel shader broke when I ran this under Xna 3.0. Band-aid solution: saved the pixel shader to a static variable before executing begin command with the Effect, then set it back once it went to null. Is there a quick fix to get around the ravages of Microsoft progress?

Best,
Dave

Hey,

is there a way you could re-upload the sample and images for this tutorial? Would be really nice.
BTW this is just the tutorial i’ve been looking for for months … thank you soooo much

This is very similar to the technique I use to render water as a post processing pass. In my implementation I render geometry into the stencil buffer and output linear view space depth. Then run a full screen quad over the results of that to produce the water in the back-buffer with stencil rejection enabled.

Finally, a subject on just water and not necessarily ‘adding’ water for Xna.
I am going to try this out as my goal is to just do water itself in Xna, for now.
