WaterRenderer

Class in WaveHarmonic.Crest, WaveHarmonic.Crest

The main script for the water system.

Attach this to an object to create water. This script initializes the various data types and systems and moves/scales the water based on the viewpoint. It also hosts a number of global settings that can be tweaked here.

Properties

ViewerHeightAboveWater	Vertical offset of camera vs water surface.
ViewerDistanceToShoreline	Distance of camera to shoreline. Positive if over water and negative if over land.
SeaLevel	Sea level is given by y coordinate of GameObject with WaterRenderer script.
TimeProviders	Loosely a stack for time providers.
TimeProvider	The current time provider.
Gravity	Physics gravity applied to water.
Scale	Current water scale (changes with viewer altitude).
CollisionProvider	Provides water shape to CPU.
FlowProvider	Provides flow to the CPU.
DepthProvider	Provides water depth and distance to water edge to the CPU.
AlbedoLod	Albedo - a colour layer composited onto the water surface.
AnimatedWavesLod	All waves (including Dynamic Waves) are written to this simulation.
Viewer	The camera which drives the water data.
CastShadows	Have the water surface cast shadows for albedo (both foam and custom).
ClipLod	Clip surface information for clipping the water surface.
DepthLod	Water depth information used for shallow water, shoreline foam, wave attenuation, among others.
DropDetailHeightBasedOnWaves	Drops the height for maximum water detail based on waves.
DynamicWavesLod	Dynamic waves generated from interactions with objects such as boats.
ExtentsSizeMultiplier	Applied to the extents’ far vertices to make them larger.
FlowLod	Horizontal motion of water body, akin to water currents.
FoamLod	Simulation of foam created in choppy water and dissipating over time.
GeometryDownSampleFactor	How much of the water shape gets tessellated by geometry.
GravityMultiplier	Multiplier for physics gravity.
Layer	The water chunk renderers will have this layer.
LevelLod	Varying water level to support water bodies at different heights and rivers to run down slopes.
Material	Material to use for the water surface.
Portals	The portal renderer.
PrimaryLight	The primary light that affects the water.
Reflections	The reflection renderer.
LodResolution	The resolution of the various water LOD data.
ScaleRange	The scale the water can be (infinity for no maximum).
ShadowLod	Shadow information used for lighting water.
LodLevels	Number of levels of details (chunks, scales etc) to generate.
TeleportThreshold	The height where detail is focused is smoothed to avoid popping which is undesireable after a teleport.
TimeSliceBoundsUpdateFrameCount	How many frames to distribute the chunk bounds calculation.
Underwater	The underwater renderer.
Viewpoint	The viewpoint which drives the water detail - the center of the LOD system.
VolumeMaterial	Underwater will copy from this material if set.
WaterBodyCulling	Whether ‘Water Body’ components will cull the water tiles.
WindSpeed	Base wind speed in km/h.
WriteMotionVectors	Whether to enable motion vector support.

Static Properties

Instance	The water singleton instance.
RunningWithoutGraphics	Is runtime environment without graphics card
RunningHeadless	Is runtime environment non-interactive (not displaying to user).
FrameCount	The frame count for Crest.
