solved WaterMaterial & skybox reflection

[V!nc3r]

I use the waterMaterial. Is it possible to have a skybox used in water reflection, but which is not visible to camera ? (I want a color plain background).

 

Erf, by writing this post I found a solution I still submit topic in case someone want find answer one day :

You just have to create another smaller skybox, and don't push it to reflection renderList... http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#1SLLOJ#275

Maybe more optimised solution ?

Like this one

You could perhaps optimize a bit by giving a mesh.layerMask incompatible with camera.layerMask, so your bigger skybox will only be rendered in the water shader

Are there any other ways to do this? 

I'd like to have a light fog in a scene, but the fog blocks out the skybox reflection in the water.

Is it something like that you want: http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#1SLLOJ#508 ? (jump to the end: all is reflected, but skybox is excluded from the camera layer, as Deltakosh suggest above)

That's exactly it. Thank you!
