"Please consider purchasing the asset to support the developer."

Highly customizable to suit your art direction through various parameters. This package focuses on providing artistic freedom, rather than a realistic water simulation. Easy to use and self-documented

Built on over 8 years of experience developing water rendering, both on the asset store and for commercial projects, ready to take advantage of.

🏄🏽‍♀️ Rundown

Rather than being stricly PBR-based, a custom lighting model offers direct control over color and light/environment reflections. All whilst retaining correct dynamic lighting behaviour, and support for Unity's native lighting features.

This asset is perfect for both beginners and experts alike, and can serve a range of different applications and styles. UX/UI is a core focus, making this straightforward to use. Extensive documentation is available, and regularly improved upon.

💧 Shading features:

• Unlit, Simple and Advanced shading modes (spanning low- and high-end graphics)

• Deep, shallow and horizon color controls

• Intersection foam effect with opaque geometry, based on scene-depth or vertex colors

• Adjustable surface foam

• GPU-driven, layered wave animations

• Animated caustics in shallow water

• Translucency rendering from all light types

• Flat shading mode (low poly look)

• Control over Directional and Point/Spot light reflections.

• Separate control over environment reflections

• Sparkles based on normal map

• Refraction, distorts objects behind the water surface

• UV- or world-projected tiling (seamless water)

• Vertex color support to control foam, underwater fog and wave height

• Transparency mask to hide the water inside objects such as boats

• River mode, for directional animations and slope-based foam.

• Distance normals (tiling reduction)

⚡ Performance:

Hand-written, expertly crafted shader, for maximum performance and complete flexibility.

Features can be disabled, making it scalable to use on mobile platforms. Down from a simple colored plane up to a vivid animated lake.

🚧 Limitations:

• Built for 3D rendering. Can't be used with the 2D Renderer or Tilemaps

• Planar reflections are disabled in VR

• Not ideal for planetary rendering (texture seams would be unavoidable)
