Water reflection issue

[JoeyKo]

Hello, guys. I got issue about the water material.

when I set colorBlendFactor, the bottom of the ball was white.

If set colorBlendFactor to 1, the reflection was not correct.

How to set the ball reflection correctly without white bottom part.

waterMaterial sphere bottom view

Hey @Yoco ! Unfortunately this is intended as it is by design. In fact, the water material is using 2 render targets (one for reflections and one for refactions). In that case, water can’t really be rendered on a sphere as it’ll require 360° reflections (typically using reflection probes). Basically, this water material should be used only to render water on planes I’m planning to redo the water material for the version 5.0.0 of Babylon.JS and it would be cool if it can use reflection probes …

thx for your reply, but update babylonjs to 5.0.0 and set disableClipPlane to false not work.

The water material has not been updated yet, so it is really meant only to be used on a plane at the time.
