• Caustics rendering on geometry. Directional projection option.

• Blurring and distortion

• Underside of the water is correctly shaded, to seamlessly match.

• Includes sub-graphs to add underwater fog support for transparent Shader Graphs

🚧 Limitations:

• Not suitable for mobile hardware

• Designed for oceans, lakes and ponds. Dioramas or aquariums aren’t possible.
