[RELEASED] Lux Water

this second thing comes from DWP2


and actually the first one also seems to be caused by DWP2 particle system

it probably should be the foam caused by boat on water surface. do you know how to set these up properly?

 

you should get rid of it. or make it way bigger so it covers the entire scene including the far ocean. but the reflections fropm this probe look kind of broken anyway.

 

you probably missed the picture and description (the boat wake foam particle system is the cause) for the first issue. (if you don't know, I'll ask dwp author)

one more thing. I haven't seen in the documentation: how do you control the ocean wave height?

thanks for helping.

 

oh, i do not know anything about these particles.

Hi,
Can anyone help with an issue i have. Please see screenshot. There is a brown fog on the surface going into the distance. Ive spent 2 days trying to get rid of it with no success. Im not even able to change the color of it. Any help would be appreciated!

 

that looks like unity's built in fog. do you use anything like aura or enviro? if so you will have to tweak the shaders as described in the documentation.

 

Thank you for the response. I have enviro but fog is turned off. Is there a default unity fog ive missed?

 

there might be, yes.

 

hi, does someone have the shader from here mentioned some pages back

I'm having a hard time masking out the water and the wake foam created by dwp2

archived version (does not work)

tried this too but doesn't work me

Hi,
I use this:

Code (CSharp):

1. Shader "Unlit/WaterCut"
2. {
3.     Properties
4.     {
5.         _Color("Main Color", Color) = (1,1,1,1)
6.     }
7.     SubShader
8.     {
9.         Tags { "RenderType"="Opaque+100" }
10.         LOD 100
11.         Cull Off
12.         ZWrite On
13.         ZTest Always
14.         Blend Zero One
15.         ColorMask 0
16.         Lighting Off
17.         Fog { Mode Off }
18.        
19.         Pass {
20.             Color[_Color]
21.         }
22.     }
23. }

 

hey, thanks. this finally works.

 

Hi,
When I run the game in the editor it works fine but once compiled the ocean doesn't appear, there are just left and right parts when I press shift. what is it from?
Unity 2022.3 - built-in
thanks

 

Now it doesn't work in game either. The ocean appears for 1/2 second then disappears.

 

i never heard of something like this. it looks like a something writes into the depth buffer.

 

it happened suddenly. The day before it was fine.

 

I used Occlusion and the ocean came back in game but still not compiled.
Unity amazes me every day, even after 10 years of use!

 

might be missing depth. from the docs:

Forward Rendering
When using forward rendering you have to make sure that your camera renders a depth texture. Do so by adding the LuxWater_CameraDepthMode script to your camera. In case you do not use Metal and deferred rendering leave “Grab Depth Texture” unchecked.

and please check the included demos if they have the same issue.

 

it does not work. The ocean appears for only 1 second. Here are my settings.

 

there is a lot of stuff on your camera.
could you please check the included demo scenes and see if the water renders properly there?
if so, go back to your scene and disable all additional component from your camera except the ones needed by lux water. then enable one ofter the other and see if any of these break the water.
curious about "ms under water effect" e.g.

 

MS Under water Effect is used to see R.A.M 2019 items underwater - River Auto Material
I put the same parameters as in the demos.
If I disable everything, the ocean still disappears.

 

when I press shift to run it pops up a bit.

 

please check the demos. altho you thin you are using the same params you might have missed something.
again: i have never heard of anything like this before. so most likely you just have forgotten something

 

it worked before. Then the next day, I had this defect.
I put the same parameters as in the demos.
On the other hand, if I advance towards the invisible ocean, I have the underwater effects.

 

sounds like something is messed up. have you checked the demo scenes already?

 

It works but I don't know why. No doubt magic?
I loaded an old scene where it was working, then reloaded the scene that had a problem and everything was back to normal.
It wasn't just the ocean that had disappeared, but also a river created with RAM 2019 Auto River
Unity remains a mystery sometimes.

 

but it still does not work when the project is compiled!

 

I'm coming back because the problem came back for no reason.
I put the same parameters as in the demo. Here are the screens of my ocean and my camera. In game the ocean always disappears.
When I started my project, I copied and pasted the ocean from the demo to my project. Could it be from this?

 

sometimes the ocean appears then disappears when I move the camera

I created my ocean like this:
I copied and pasted the infinite ocean from the demo. Could my problems come from there?

 

I have this message with debug:

 

the cause of my worries did not come from Lux Water but from the character that I had installed. This is the "Modular First Person Controller" Asset .
I removed it and put a normal controller. The bug is gone!

 

how to use Lux Water scripts to create an underwater effect for an ordinary body of water (no Lux Water) ? I tried several things but it didn't work.

 

I'm sorry, I kinda wrecked your sub
