KWS Kripto Water System

Or maybe get it all together first? Then these type of posts would not be required.
It would need new concept for the Unity Store and unfortunately for most "Developers"
If a "developer" releases a product he/she knows isn't close to finished then those who support it should be considered for free updates. Fanboys or not.

 

Loving it!

 

Wouaw, nice !

 

Super cool water system!!! May I ask when do you plan to release VR supported version? Thanks!

 

Hi,

what is the best way to simulate blood in water? Thanks if you have any idea

 

Hi,

In URP, the "Underwater Effect" (when the camera goes beneath the surface) is rendered over all particles (therefore particles are invisible underwater). Is it possible to have the "Underwater Effect" and particles at the same time?

Example: FPP player dives underwater and sees bubbles, underwater explosions, swarms of fish, and other particle effects.

 

Hello,
We are facing the following strange issue. We have a camera rig with 5 cameras and in each camera the viewport is set to 0.2 width. The reflection seems to be calculated only from the first camera. How can this be fixed?

The end result looks like this. Can you help?

 

Any plans to support mobile plattforms, e.g. android? I am very excited!

 

Hi, requesting a 2020.3.25 HDRP demo scene with a simple FPS setup + Post effects. I'm not making a game and would like to have a demo scene that includes as many Photoreal settings as possible just to explore.
~ Thanks

 

Cave Scene
How to activate the Static Meshes Transforms? They are all locked and currently cannot be moved to different locations.

 

SIMPLY THE BEST WATER.

Thank you for the great asset! I spent 5 minutes to integrate. Lovely performance and quality.

BTW, in 2022.1b2, HDRP13, it works just fine, but the volumetrics dont work, throwing shader errors. I know that it is beta, but kindly look into it as it seems like a simple fix. When I turn volumetrics off, it works all good.

Man, your assets are top notch, even your blood pack...

 

Hi !

I have no idea how i detect the Water Mesh for my NavhMesh Agents. How you solved that?

 

Hello everyone.
i don't understand why the caustic look like this?

 

Where is the manual?

 

Hey everyone,

I can´t get the KW_WaterHoleMask to work to get rid of water inside a boat. Shouldn´t it just work by dragging it on to an Object. The readme file mentions a "water depth mask" feature I can´t find in the water settings. I´m using the HDRP version in 2020.3.8f1.

Thanks

 

hi does the flow map affect buoyancy, can't seem to get to work like for a raft or debris floating down river thanks love this water system a total fave

 

Hi, this looks like what I needed in terms of capability.. wanted to check, does it work with Enviro in HDRP, or if not, does it work with any other third party weather systems?

 

the URP version always comes out pink regardless of updating via the provided URP folder update or pipeline converter, the instructions are next to nothing, any assistance is much appreciated!

 

sorry, I don't follow the topic and rarely answer here. It is better to use discord or email for questions.

Do you use URP version of the water ?
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/particles-effects/kws-water-system-urp-rendering-203144

I have partial support of enviro/azure (I not yet tested it, just added code from readme)
You need to open water shader ("\Assets\KriptoFX\WaterSystem\WaterResources\Shaders\Resources\PlatformSpecific\KWS_WaterTesselated.shader") and uncomment this lines

//#define ENVIRO_FOG
//#define AZURE_FOG

this feature in my roadmap

 

So I'm using a newer unity version, because GTS addon (from procedural worlds) only works with 2021.3 or newer. In this case specifically 2022.1.2
When I use the HDRP water system editor loads fine, I can enter play mode, but when I exit I get an error that includes
com.unity.render-pipelines.high-definition@13.1.8\Runtime\Lighting\VolumetricLighting\HDRenderPipeline.VolumetricLighting.cs at line 634. Please use ComputeBuffer.Release() or .Dispose() to manually release the buffer.

 

As soon as I start my game I get errors:



Seems related to cubemap update, why is that? How can I turn it off, so no update happens, or just turn off reflection etc?

 

Cool, could I ask, where you got the splash effect from, or you made it? I am looking for similar.

Hi khos,
I used this..
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/vfx/particles/environment/water-splashes-82172
..but I see it seems to have been discontinued?
The contact email to them is..
bendurrant@rivermillstudios.com
But there are many similar "splashes"
https://assetstore.unity.com/packag...ter-strikes-and-explosions-with-sounds-150177
This one has a few that can be used but it's maybe a bit over-kill.
Good luck!

 

Many thanks!

Odd, no one has responded to my issue, maybe still on Xmas holidays...

 

Which version are you using? I see where you mention your game...Do any of the Demo scenes work alone?

 

Thanks! All the demos work, I can even take the water into another new scene and it works, but in real game scene it gives the errors, maybe some other script interfering...

 

Narrowed down the issue between two assets:

KCS and Deformable Surface v2.1 (https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/particles-effects/deformable-surface-76468), if I have just the two together it gives the errors:

ARRGGH, what is the issue?!

 

Well at least you know it's probably not the water system.
That deformable a very old asset to be using?
What version of Unity are you using? Have you tried older versions?
Hopefully those more knowledgeable will come to your aid!
Just for interest..what are you planning?

 

I'm on version 2019. I could not easily upgrade now (although I'd like to), my project is rather large/complex.. I got some help from the other asset author, might be layer related. Thanks for your help too!
For info, I am working on "Spin Tires" type game, but with unusual vehicles. Water and surface deformation feature in the game If you are interested I have a post here (https://forum.unity.com/threads/tank-crawler-wip-feedback-most-welcome.1129043/) but have not updated that thread for ages, but made lots of progress on the game.

 

I'll check that out!! Sounds interesting!!

By the way I notice that "kripto 289" mentions that he doesn't usually look at this forum..

"sorry, I don't follow the topic and rarely answer here. It is better to use discord or email for questions."

Have you tried these other ways of contacting him?
All the best.

 

Went to discord, got a reply there, suggested I get the patches but no idea where to get those, I do not like discord, what is the Unity forum for ? Anyway will see how it goes.

 

khos Discord is the best communication way right now. Is a great tool for developers also.

 

Got it my view is the forum is here why not use, discord is confusing to me... but what do I know.

 

Just to continue a bit...is your problem mostly to do with the displacement of this water?
Are you attempting to deform the KWS water with a vehicle and leave some wake and white water behind?
Or are you wanting to place the water on some mesh or other and then modulate the mesh somehow?
Or do you want to be able to create some "holes" or suchlike in the water ?
Just curious!!!

 

This: "Are you attempting to deform the KWS water with a vehicle and leave some wake and white water behind?" this It works in my smaller testing scene! ut when trying in a real game scene with other assets it gives errors. I have other water solutions in place already, wanted to try use KWS as it has options like deforming/foam/shores etc. On discord there was a new patch, spent a while upgrading my massive project to version 2020.3 (had issues with other scripts/Unity dropping support for things, ugggghh!) with the new patch, but still see errors, I'm close to giving up on this, probably just best to focus on what is important to the game..

 

I have a problem with the Enviro integration, in the

KWS_PlatformSpecificHelpers.cginc

file where there's

Code (CSharp):

1. #if defined(ENVIRO_FOG)
2.     #include ""
3. #endif

I assume there should really be something included?

 

Hello, I am thinking about buying the asset but I would like to ask if there is a way to sync the waves over the network with Netcode.

 

Just to update from asset store...
On Version 1.40b2. KWS for me is still the very best and now with this recent update has gone even further There's a new Shoreline API for doing things with waves at runtime. Foam rendering which is in beta but looks really good right now, and the whole asset seems faster. Lots of goodies and enhancements.
BUT beginners and non-devs beware...VR support appears to be in very early alpha and might be very difficult to get going if at all! Hopefully this will be fixed in later updates. But a wonderful update otherwise.

 

Hi, I've only just found this asset and it looks amazing.

I was wondering, with Unity releasing its own HDRP water, how do they compare from both a performance and features point of view?
