So you would draw your scene to a render target, draw your water to a render target (probably solid alpha) then clip your scene to the water alpha, then apply the water to the clipped scene with add effect maybe, then distort the new water texture, then draw it on top of the scene.
Do you have an idea on how could be the reflections in the water made? Render on two planes and the below one is upside down with a water effect? How can it be achieved?
If you want to render just something simple like the player avatar or objects you could have a duplicate sprite of your player flipped vertically to mirror the player like a reflection just below the player, and then draw that onto the water render target before it is warped.
It is a very simple idea, very brilliant, though But I think I don’t know how can be half(/some part) of the screen post-processed to have a water-like effect? Do you mean creating two drawings, one with a world, and one with a flipped “reflected” world, then post-process the second drawing with wavy effect and, at the end, add them togheter?
