Hi redbox I just want to say thank you for this thread and the time you've put into this, even if not a lot of people have followed this thread. I am doing a final year project at uni and have spend a long time trying to model water for an environment but to no avail. This has been massively useful so thank you again!

The best looking water I have seen in UDK

I didn't even notice this thread

This is amazing and thank you for your time documenting and releasing this.

As I can see, no one have interest for this thread.
For now, I can't find any reason for continue this tutorial for DX11 tesselation or procedural flow maps.

I finished my work with last update.
Thank you for your time.

I was just trying to figure out how to do this. This is great! Thanks for the contribution!

Archive with all assets

Update 04/15/2013. Maybe, for now, it can be named "Version 1.0".
- document structure has been changed, but it's almost the same that was.
- fixed issue with Rotator. For now, texture's rotation not influence on flow.
- added description about creating flow in Houdini using curves (see Appendix A).
- added scene with curves examples.
- assets saved in February 2013 UDK BETA2.
- IMPORTANT! flow map calculation has been changed:

Early, flow map calculation formula was:
($NX*0.5 + 0.5, -$NZ*0.5 + 0.5, 0)
and it was multiplied on (1; -1) in shader.

Now, calculation formula is
($NX*0.5 + 0.5, $NZ*0.5 + 0.5, 0)
and, in shader, Flow Power multiplied on (-1).
old variant also works fine, but new one more optimized.
