Calm sea, midday

Calm sea, midday

A drop-in water material for Unreal 5.3+. Looks great with both Lumen and ray-tracing enabled, and falls back gracefully on lower-end hardware.

Features

  • Gerstner-wave displacement with up to 8 stacked wave bands
  • Procedural foam generated from wave-peak gradient
  • Subsurface scattering approximation tuned for shallow water
  • Caustics via parallax-mapped projection texture
  • Buoyancy helper Blueprint so floating objects ride the waves correctly

Currently in beta — download will be available on full release. The material is in active use on Project Tidewater; ping #tech-art for early access.
