Implementación de efectos de agua (salpicaduras) en el juego XNA 4.0 [cerrado]

Estoy creando un juego XNA 2D y encontré un tutorial sobre cómo agregar efectos de agua (salpicaduras) a un juego XNA, pero después de implementarlo en mi juego no puedo reducirlo. Actualmente ocupa toda la pantalla.

La clase de agua se ve así

class Water
{
    struct WaterColumn
    {
        public float TargetHeight;
        public float Height;
        public float Speed;

        public void Update(float dampening, float tension)
        {
            float x = TargetHeight - Height;
            Speed += tension * x - Speed * dampening;
            Height += Speed;
        }
    }

    PrimitiveBatch pb;
    WaterColumn[] columns = new WaterColumn[201];
    static Random rand = new Random();

    public float Tension = 0.025f;
    public float Dampening = 0.025f;
    public float Spread = 0.25f;

    RenderTarget2D metaballTarget, particlesTarget;
    SpriteBatch spriteBatch;
    AlphaTestEffect alphaTest;
    Texture2D particleTexture;

    private float Scale { get { return spriteBatch.GraphicsDevice.Viewport.Width / (columns.Length - 1f); } }

    List<Particle> particles = new List<Particle>();
    class Particle
    {
        public Vector2 Position;
        public Vector2 Velocity;
        public float Orientation;

        public Particle(Vector2 position, Vector2 velocity, float orientation)
        {
            Position = position;
            Velocity = velocity;

        }
    }

    public Water(GraphicsDevice device, Texture2D particleTexture)
    {

                Speed = 0
            };
        }
    }

    // Returns the height of the water at a given x coordinate.

    {
        if (x < 0 || x > 800)
            return 240;

        return columns[(int)(x / Scale)].Height;

    }

    public void DrawToRenderTargets()
    {
        GraphicsDevice device = spriteBatch.GraphicsDevice;
        device.SetRenderTarget(metaballTarget);
        device.Clear(Color.Transparent);

        // draw particles to the metaball render target
        spriteBatch.Begin(0, BlendState.Additive);
        foreach (var particle in particles)
        {
            Vector2 origin = new Vector2(particleTexture.Width, particleTexture.Height) / 2f;
            spriteBatch.Draw(particleTexture, particle.Position, null, Color.White, particle.Orientation, origin, 2f, 0, 0);
        }
        spriteBatch.End();

        // draw a gradient above the water so the metaballs will fuse with the water's surface.
        pb.Begin(PrimitiveType.TriangleList);

        const float thickness = 20;
        float scale = Scale;
        for (int i = 1; i < columns.Length; i++)
        {
            Vector2 p1 = new Vector2((i - 1) * scale, columns[i - 1].Height);

            Vector2 p4 = new Vector2(p2.X, p2.Y - thickness);

            pb.AddVertex(p2, Color.White);
            pb.AddVertex(p1, Color.White);
            pb.AddVertex(p3, Color.Transparent);

            pb.AddVertex(p3, Color.Transparent);
            pb.AddVertex(p4, Color.Transparent);
            pb.AddVertex(p2, Color.White);
        }

        pb.End();

        // save the results in another render target (in particlesTarget)
        device.SetRenderTarget(particlesTarget);
        device.Clear(Color.Transparent);
        spriteBatch.Begin(0, null, null, null, null, alphaTest);
        spriteBatch.Draw(metaballTarget, Vector2.Zero, Color.White);
        spriteBatch.End();

        // switch back to drawing to the backbuffer.
        device.SetRenderTarget(null);
    }

    public void Draw()
    {
        Color lightBlue = new Color(0.2f, 0.5f, 1f);

        // draw the particles 3 times to create a bevelling effect
        spriteBatch.Begin();
        spriteBatch.Draw(particlesTarget, -Vector2.One, new Color(0.8f, 0.8f, 1f));
        spriteBatch.Draw(particlesTarget, Vector2.One, new Color(0f, 0f, 0.2f));
        spriteBatch.Draw(particlesTarget, Vector2.Zero, lightBlue);
        spriteBatch.End();

        // draw the waves
        pb.Begin(PrimitiveType.TriangleList);
        Color midnightBlue = new Color(0, 15, 40) * 0.9f;
        lightBlue *= 0.8f;

        float bottom = spriteBatch.GraphicsDevice.Viewport.Height;
        float scale = Scale;
        for (int i = 1; i < columns.Length; i++)
        {
            Vector2 p1 = new Vector2((i - 1) * scale, columns[i - 1].Height);
            Vector2 p2 = new Vector2(i * scale, columns[i].Height);

            Vector2 p4 = new Vector2(p1.X, bottom);

            pb.AddVertex(p1, lightBlue);
            pb.AddVertex(p2, lightBlue);
            pb.AddVertex(p3, midnightBlue);

            pb.AddVertex(p1, lightBlue);
            pb.AddVertex(p3, midnightBlue);
            pb.AddVertex(p4, midnightBlue);
        }

        pb.End();
    }
}

Luego, en Game1.cs tengo el siguiente método LoadContent

protected override void LoadContent()
    {
        // Create a new SpriteBatch, which can be used to draw textures.
        spriteBatch = new SpriteBatch(GraphicsDevice);
        font = Content.Load<SpriteFont>("Font");
        particleImage = Content.Load<Texture2D>("metaparticle");
        backgroundImage = Content.Load<Texture2D>("sky");
        rockImage = Content.Load<Texture2D>("rock");
        water = new Water(GraphicsDevice, particleImage);
        .
        .
        .
    }

En mi método de actualización tengo lo siguiente (junto con otro código para el juego, solo estoy mostrando parte del agua)

protected override void Update(GameTime gameTime)
    {
        lastKeyState = keyState;
        keyState = Keyboard.GetState();
        lastMouseState = mouseState;
        mouseState = Mouse.GetState();

        water.Update();

        Vector2 mousePos = new Vector2(mouseState.X, mouseState.Y);
        // if the user clicked down, create a rock.
        if (lastMouseState.LeftButton == ButtonState.Released && mouseState.LeftButton == ButtonState.Pressed)
        {
            rock = new Rock
            {
                Position = mousePos,
                Velocity = (mousePos - new Vector2(lastMouseState.X, lastMouseState.Y)) / 5f
            };
        }

        // update the rock if it exists
        if (rock != null)
        {
            if (rock.Position.Y < 240 && rock.Position.Y + rock.Velocity.Y >= 240)
                water.Splash(rock.Position.X, rock.Velocity.Y * rock.Velocity.Y * 5);

            rock.Update(water);

            if (rock.Position.Y > GraphicsDevice.Viewport.Height + rockImage.Height)
                rock = null;
        }

Luego, en el método Draw, tengo lo siguiente (cuando la enumeración activa es InGame)

case ActiveScreen.InGame:

                water.DrawToRenderTargets();
                level.Draw(gameTime, spriteBatch);
                DrawHud();
                spriteBatch.Begin();
                spriteBatch.Draw(backgroundImage, Vector2.Zero, Color.White);

                if (rock != null)
                    rock.Draw(spriteBatch, rockImage);
                spriteBatch.End();
                water.Draw();

                break;

Mi problema es que, obviamente, ocupa toda la pantalla. Me doy cuenta de por qué ocupa toda la pantalla, pero no puedo entender cómo reducirlo y configurarlo en una ubicación fija en el juego. Si alguien pudiera leer esto y orientarme sobre cómo reduciría esto con éxito, lo agradecería enormemente.

Bueno, hay dos formas de hacer esto:

1. Dibuje todo el Waterobjeto en un objetivo de renderizado, luego dibuje el objetivo de agua final a escala y en la posición que desee. (esta es la forma más simple).
2. Dibuje el Wateren un área restringida. Para esto necesitarás hacer algo como esto:
   • Cree el Watermediante la especificación de un Rectangleobjetivo como en el constructor.
   • Cada referencia a GraphicsDevice.Viewportdebe ser reemplazada por el rectángulo objetivo
   • Supongo que dará la posición 'correcta' - real - como el Splashparámetro del método ( xPosition), por lo que todo lo demás estará bien cuando se dibuje.

PD: Dijiste algo al respecto OutOfBoundsException. Por favor, danos más detalles si ese es el caso.
