Unity-Crest Water System URP U3653

Crest Water System URP

Crest is a class-leading water system authored by professional game developers.
Programmable Render Pipeline (SRP) compatibility
The Unity Programmable Render Pipeline (SRP) is a feature that allows you to control rendering through C# scripts. SRP is the underlying technology that supports the Universal Rendering Pipeline (URP) and the High Definition Rendering Pipeline (HDRP).

Function:

* Simulated light transmission, including reflection, refraction, scattering, caustics approximation, shadows
* Fully dynamic waveforms with innovative “EQ” style ripple creation
*Shallow water – light scattering and ripple attenuation
* Partially submerged underwater
* Dynamic interaction between objects and water
* Simulate foam from ripples and shorelines
* Flow to achieve horizontal movement of water
*Physics interface with simple buoyancy implementation and support for dynamic water physics 2

This resource comes with a sample Pirate Bay demo scene assembled by @patrickprosic, using terrain textures generously provided by RD-Textures.com. This sample data is optional; the PirateCove folder does not need to be imported to use Crest.

Note: This resource is for the Universal Rendering Pipeline. A version of the system for Unity’s built-in rendering pipeline is freely available and available for experimentation: https://github.com/crest-ocean/crest.
Note 2: Crest is available for PC and console platforms. It runs on mobile but is powerful, flexible and scalable rather than a bare minimum/proprietary system that maximizes performance.
Note 3: Crest relies on compute shaders and therefore only supports compute-compatible platforms. Unfortunately, Crest does not support WebGL. Details: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-ComputeShader.html
Note 4: Crest is intended for projects requiring advanced water simulation. It requires technical setup and configuration rather than a simple embedded solution.
Note 5: Crest currently does not support rendering multiple cameras simultaneously, such as a potential requirement for split-screen multiplayer games.
