[@danielbordeianu9240]

now that right there, that is beautiful

[@na7uralone387]

water effects are always my favourite thing and you really nailed it here, this looks gorgeous!

[@msmeraglia]

you should really do a write up on this technique, not sure if you have a blog or not?

[@laurawadsworth873]

prbably my favorite art style for any game

[@tonmate7175]

You have done some awesome work with your custom engine. Where did you learn to do all this?

[@t3ssel8r]

thanks, I think I just picked it up as I went along for the most part, but the resources that I followed most closely for the unity integration were the catlike coding articles.

[@DcCoO]

could you elaborate a little bit about this orthographic light probe? I'm trying to achieve reflections on the water of my top-down orthographic game but I'm struggling. Is it baked? Will it reflect realtime moving objects? Where can I learn about this? thanks for sharing this awesome work!

[@t3ssel8r]

essentially just a second camera mirrored about the water surface plane, with the same camera intrinsics as the view camera. It's a pretty popular method.

Amazing looking area.

You know those color blobs in steven universe? They could be an easy way to make the water look incredible. And very stylized.

[@mhx4453]

Could you share how you realize the displacement of the reflection texture? I noticed that there is no displacement at the intersection of the water surface and the object. I have been thinking for a long time and have not thought of how to achieve it... I am new to shaders.. your work is amazing, I can't remember how many times I watched this video haha

[@t3ssel8r]

I think I referenced the catlike coding tutorial on water reflections
