PlayWay Water - high quality water system

I'm looking to purchase soon. Does PlayWay support the Vive?

 

First of all, fantastic support and responding. With the number of people writing here it seems one could easily get stressed out.

I have a couple of questions, before purchasing.
1. How does performance fare on year old laptops which weren't considered above average when they were purchased? I.e. Does it run well on S*** PC, Mac and Linux?
2. Is there a way of limiting the number of waves simulated physically and so in an area? I.e. if it's known where the buoyant objects it can be optimized for performance.
3. Shorelines are not added yet, and I can see you have it on your list of thing to do, but not started on yet. Do you know when you will start on working on this feature, and possibly when it roughly would be done?

Cheers,
Daniel.

 

Good afternoon. You have good water . It will be in the near future a large discount on your Asset ? The price , which is very big for me. That is if there was a discount on your Asset , then I would have bought . If there is a discount of approximately ?

 

I'm using it in a Vive game, so yeah, it does work. There had been some problems in the beginning, and I've had a lot of trouble with current Unity updates (5.4 has been a mess for me - but while this also affects PlayWay Water stability, it's by no means just an issue with PlayWay Water).

 

Hey,
any chances for good fps with this water on mobile (high end samsung devices) in vr?
No need quality here and only one dynamic object in scene (camera floating on surface).

 

Hi.

Finally i managed to buy this fantastic asset. I am using it for my VR project and it works very well. One thing i noticed is that i have some weird mask artifacts whe "allow alpha blending" is turned on. When i turn this off then then it goes away. I attached a screenshot showing the issue.

This is more noticeable when you have a bright sky. When i tried with the darker night sky it was a lot less noticeable. It was still there but it was hard to detect. Is there any solution for this? I would really like to keep my alpha blending enabled. I am using forward rendering with 4xMSAA. No image effects.

Many thanks.

 

I haven't tried to use Unity projectors, but I think that they work only with opaque objects. You may need to disable refraction and blend edges on Water component.

It's pretty easily scalable, should run on most PCs. Works on Mac, not tested on Linux.

Yes, desired wave count for physics can be set in the WindWaves component.

Shorelines are currently in 2.0 beta. They are still under active development.

I have reproduced this on my end. Seems to be caused by MSAA. I have put it near the top of my to do list.

These warnings are generally harmless. What happens?

Sorry for the late reply. Gamescom is very soon and I have a lot of work because of it lately.

 

Important notice to everyone using any version of water with Unity 5.4.

Please temporarily disable GPU skinning, because some to-be-identified bug in Unity 5.4 or PlayWay Water causes regular crashes on AMD hardware when that option is enabled.

Also Unity 5.3+ GUI code seems to crash from time to time when Mono SIMD dll is literally anywhere in your project, so until it gets a deeper investigation, I recommend disabling SIMD usage for now in Edit/Project Settings/Water and delete said dll from your projects. This may increase overall CPU usage, but shouldn't directly affect performance because water physics are mostly multithreaded.

Both issues were confirmed on at least two independent projects and are being worked on.

Help me!! thank you

 

I just copy the script compent from the demo camera to HTC camera, i disable GPU skin and linear color space.

 

oh no! i upload image again

 

Just wanted to confirm real quick that PlayWay Water does work on the HTC Vive. We're using it for our Virtual Reality game Holodance. The only issue we are currently aware of is the AMD GPU crash (when GPU skinning is active on Unity 5.4). This is actually a Unity bug, and it's not related to VR. It's currently being fixed in Unity (that fix will probably land in one of the patch releases) and zuzzu also has a workaround to prevent the crash until we have the fix from UT.

Unfortunately, I can't help with the issue you're seeing ... but just rest assured that PlayWay Water does work with HTC Vive, so if it doesn't work for you, it's most likely just some setting or set up issue, not a problem with the actual package.

 

It looks like in the exe there are no planar reflections and just black texture. I'm not really sure why, I would need to see the project.

Would that be possible for you to share a simple demo project? I would look at it and tell you what needs to be done to fix the problem.

You can share a link through a Private Conversation on this forum or send it on my email (you can find it in the documentation).

 

As mentioned by @jashan (thanks for help!), gpu skinning crashes are going to be fixed in a patch release for Unity 5.4. A temporary workaround is to disable tesselation for water depth rendering. I've attached a modified shader.

 

@zuzzu Have you had a chance to look into the underwater effects not working for the smaller bodies of water?

 

I will look into this soon, apologies. I didn't had much time because of Gamescom and a few more urging issues have appeared.

 

@zuzzu Alright. I have found more information out about the problem. I have a total of four water bodies in my scene, one boundless ocean and three ponds. The underwater effects work for the ocean and one of the ponds. The pond that works is on a lower y value than the other two. I'm wondering if that has something to do with it, and maybe will help you track it down.

 

Absolutely great water asset.. Zuzu!
With the ability to setup correctly you get superb visual results.

 

This asset is really good, the render is so beautiful, the documentation makes it simple to understand how it works.

I was wondering, is there a way to "rotate" the water, so I can get a face view of the water without rotating the camera?

Thank you in advance for the answer.

 

Hello
I disable refraction and blend edges on Water component. But it still doesn't work...

 

Hello,
I'm using PlayWay Water in ViVe VR(unity 5.4.0), this pluginand is very good,the only problem is that FPS is alway below 50.And Unity Profiler show VR.WaitForGPU() take up a lot of time.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? My GPU is GTX970

 

There were some questions earlier on SimulSky compatibility, did those get resolved ? And yes SimulSky does do shadows for clouds.

 

This is hands down the best water asset in the Asset Store. Great job Zuzzu! I'm loving the fact that it also plays well with uSkyPro.

 

Looks great! Does uSkyPro also generate Clouds?

 

@web76 - It doesn't generate clouds, but there is a nice cloud system being developed where you can supply a cloud map and the shading reacts correctly to the sun / environment, with correct shadows and lighting. It looks very nice. I'm just using cloud images right now with a custom shader to tweak the values a bit. Totally cheated at the moment.

 

I'm sorry for being absent pretty often lately. I keep having a lot of work due to the Gamescom, but it's just one more week so please stay patient for a while. After it's over I hope to get back to water and release a new stable version and beta 4 by the end of the month. Beta 4 should be pretty stable now, have major shore improvements and support the single pass stereo rendering for VR.

Thanks for the appreciation @Quatum1000 and @Fishypants, very impressive screenies!

I've managed to reproduce this on my end. I should fix this for the next update by the end of the month.

Not really, sorry about that. It's a forced optimization in the current implementation to assume that the water is aligned with x, z axes. I see some drawbacks of this though and I may try to re-introduce this at some point.

I think it's the only sky system left that is still not compatible with the water, but it's probably not a big deal to fix this. I'm going to contact the author soon and hope to resolve this by the end of the month, if he would be kind enough to share his work for this purpose.

I've looked into the projectors, educated a bit about them and have some ideas how to add compatibility with the water. Can you share your shader that you use on the projector? It needs an special pass for the water to include its transformations.

 

hello I just imported playway water into a project and I get this console error unity v 5.36. How to fix??

Assets/PlayWay Water/Scripts/Base/SpectraRenderer.cs(704,55): error CS0426: The nested type `WaveFrequency' does not exist in the type `PlayWay.Water.WaterWavesSpectrumData'

 

Hi!
I wonder if there is any ripple or splash effects implemented at the moment?
Im thingking of buying..

 

Hi
We've been using Playway water a fair bit and its looking good, however we've had no luck in getting foam or spray working, please could anyone assist with this? Would really appreciate a guide to getting this working.
Thanks!

 

Hello

The shader I used is not special, I just selected a material without thinking.

The projectors from Standard Assets have same issue.

Asset Store : https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/32351
Standard Assets > Effects > Projectors > Prefabs

 

If I purchase this asset, how can I get access to the beta? VR optimizations and shorelines are very important to me.

 

The water is probably the best on the Asset Store, but there have been huge delays. Shoreline foam was supposed to be ready before the end of last year, and we're still waiting. The Mac version is also lagging behind the Windows version feature-wise.

As long as you don't use PlayWay Water for any time-critical projects and have time to wait, go for it. It's a solid piece of software, and the developer is first rate.

 

Its working with GalaxyS6 + GearVR smooth (60~90FPS)? im very interested in get realistic water for my VR project. Thanks to any reply that can confirm this,

 

Its possible to enter BETA to test it for VR?

 

HI
I am very interested in your product, there is a trial version to try. It would greatly appreciate it to evaluate properly before buying it because it is a significant expense

regards

 

Using Playway in our latest game which is a prequel to our existing one:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=727416555
Keep up the good work, holmes!

 

They offer a 30 Day Trial key, it's kind of different the way they license their software than most do, as it's heavily dependent on .dll's since it's a true "weather system", just like Playway water is way more than the default Unity water, and more like a "Sea State System with buoyancy"

 

so how well optimized is this?

 

Relatively well. The killer is reflections, which honestly is true of any and all water systems, but until someone comes up with a water system that doesn't require double-processing to create reflections, i doubt that will change.

 

Struggling to get the water set up with the foam on it, can anyone assist me with this please? Would really appreciate some guidance from anyone who has got it working, have emailed dev but no reply on it yet.

 

would love to help Ulther but I can't even bring this asset into my project as it seams to be missing some files??and after 10 days waiting for a response from the dev I've removed it so I can continue to move forward as opposed to not moving forward. That's the second time I've tried to use this asset only to have to remove it completely. but good luck to you....

 

zuzzu Thanks for your job I need your help
I Have error when i run Galleon Demo

Material doesn't have a color property '_SubsurfaceScatteringPack'

Hi,

We recently purchased Playway Water and we're really happy with it. However, we do have a quite specific issue with it.

We're making a strategy game with a fog of war (FOW), and naturally we would like to FOW to affect also the water. Currently what I'm doing is that I'm rendering the FOW as a image effect after all the opaque things have been drawn.

The FOW effect itself is quite simple. It's just a rendertexture containing FOW values (0 = not in fow, 1 = in fow), and it's then drawn as a black transparent veil by projecting that FOW texture onto the world space XZ plane. Using depth information I'm able to see where in the FOW texture the opaque pixel on the screen is. (It may sound complex but it's quite simple thing really).

Anyway, because the water is rendered in a transparent pass, it does not get affected by the FOW. If I remove the [ImageEffectOpaque] attribute from our FOW image effect, the FOW gets correctly rendered on the water too, but at the same time FOW gets rendered on top all of the transparent objects, which is wrong (we have a special handling for transparent objects in the FOW).

You can see the problem in the attached picture. The FOW is revealed around the buildings. In the upper image water (looks brown in the shot) gets rendered on top of the FOW. If FOW is drawn after transparent queue, it seems to render correctly on the water but it will also render over our transparent objects such as trees (the tree on the left).



Is there any possible way to solve this? Do you think this could be solved with some Command Buffer trickery? Would it be possible to force the rendering order to be like this:
Opaque
Opaque image effects
Playway Water
Opaque image effect: FOW
Rest of the image effects

If that's not possible, I might be able to do the FOW rendering in the water pass. Unfortunately this means that the water would be rendered on top of the already FOW'd ocean floor, making the ocean go extra dark near the FOW edges. Might not really be a problem, but just stating it out.

But I'm not sure how to inject the FOW rendering into the water shader... it seems that Playway Water is generating shader on the fly (more or less). I'm not really familiar with the way it works.

I'm aware that this is not a Playway Water issue per se, but any help solving this issue would be appreciated!

Best regards,
Sampsa

 

Update your PlayWay from the Asset Store. It's out of date.

 

Thanks i will try .

 

I am also having issues with underwater effects. When I look straight up, it shows this:

https://gyazo.com/5ca1c6a023a98d66c9a907c9ce2819d7

Getting this in linear deferred with your latest version on Unity 5.4.0f3

 

Beta 4 is on the track. I'm going to publish it on 1. September.

I've come up with some CPU-side optimizations during the development. I'm getting 900 FPS now with just the ocean on GTX 980 in FullHD.

Good news It should work with your effect out of the box with beta 4. Water can now be rendered as an opaque image effect.

I'm not sure, but it looks like an old version of PlayWay Water, because the fresnel is not correct. Can you confirm?

Is this AMD? Can't reproduce this on my end.
