Assets Pixel Water - GPU animated water

Released on Asset Store: http://u3d.as/LZ3​

Greetings. I am working on a pixelated water effect. Welcome any comments.

!! Now Support Lightweight Render Pipeline in Unity 2019 ||

• Customizable waves & ripples
• Customizable pattern without texture
• Customizable foam effect
• Specular lighting
• Reflection map
• Emission
• Unlit and multi-light specular shader
• Optimize for mobile & VR
• Support Lightweight Render Pipeline in Unity 2019

Looking good. For animated customized waves and ripples what is the suggested polygon resolution (4polys per meter?) to get nice looking animated water, for both smooth and flat shaded visuals?

A couple animated examples would be nice to see including varying shapes of static objects with animated foam.

 

Here is an example. Full lighting and reflection and use only 20 x 20 mesh grid.

 

Add a video to showcase the waves and ripples.

Hey there. I bought your water shader a few days ago. Its working fine in the editor but it's not working in a windows build. (It does not crash, but the water is not visible at all). I am using Unity 2017.1 Beta 9 build.

Any ideas?

 

@DwinTeimlon Which window version are you testing on? we can have a try.

And did you try 2017 beta 10?

 

I am using Windows 10. Unity 2017 Beta 10 is currently beeing installed. I report back as soon as I have more info.
I included the water pixel shaders in the gfx settings (Always included shaders) but it didn't help.

 

@DwinTeimlon I try on a window 10 and it is working. Are you testing it your own scene?

 

2017 Beta 10 doesn't work either.

Yep. It's inside a prefab and I am spawning it during runtime.

 

Better if you can send me the scene for testing. you can email to support@digicrafts.com.hk

 

Hi,

I have just send you a mail with a test project.

Actually it's fairly easy to reproduce. Jut put an example scene into a prefab. Instantiate the prefab and it will not work anymore inside a build.

Including the shader in the gfx setting has no impact afaik.

 

Thanks a lot for the fast fix! Great support and I also wrote a review .

 

its a neat asset, but it does not seem to be able to handle spot lights properly. i would very much like to use this in my game, but i need the water to be able to reflect light from flashlights.

 

We are checking the problem. It should be working with spot light.

 

Hey there,

Great asset! I was having an issue with the rendingQueue (I think?) and built in terrains in Unity. It seems to not go over the terrain asset in the Game view, but does so in the Editor window. If you had any thoughts that would be great!

Using Unity 2018.2.18f1

 

Oh darn it, it's the camera! It works fine with a perspective camera, but not Orthographic....

 

For anyone else, the issue was simply lowering the clipping plane and moving the water closer to the edge of the ground. hah

 

Sorry for late reply. The problem about the edge is too close? Not related to the shader?

 

No worries! Yes, the problem was the water needs to be closer to the camera than the terrain for the orthographic camera to place the water on top of (intersect) the terrain. So the issue is not the shader. Unfortunately there is an issue that the foam does not work with an orthographic camera it seems though. But that may not be a simple fix, so for now I'll go without the foam (although foam does look great!)

@DwinTeimlon do you happen to know how to fix it? (getting the shader working in the build) We're encountering the same issue

 

Please contact the support directly, they send me a new file which I am probably not supposed to share. Wondering why it never made into an updated version. Probably forgot about the issue.

 

FYI - we ran into this again on another game of ours. But the shader doesn't work with ortho graphic cameras - but it works on perspective
