POWERVR Insider Water Demo

The advanced vertex and pixel shading capabilities of the POWERVR SGX family make realistic cinematic scenes a reality as illustrated by this seascape. This demo approximates wave physics using a Perlin Noise based function to displace a tessellated grid and create per-pixel waves. For accurate reflections and refractions advanced render to texture functionality is required.

The final water surface is obtained by combining reflection and refraction renders in an advanced per-pixel lighting model including a per-pixel Fresnel calculation.
