Description
Create breathtaking oceans and glistening seas with OceanShaper - a games focused, highly customizable ocean water system for Unreal Engine!
Overview Video | Performance Video
With multiple tiers of customizable ocean waves, foam simulation, interactive water, underwater post process, a split view waterline effect, bioluminescence, animated caustics, buoyancy functions + a high degree of modularity, OceanShaper is ideal for those wanting to create a range of both stylized or realistic oceans and water.
Features:
Craft anything from calm and gentle seas, to stormy oceans with enormous waves
Fully customize water color with additional controls for wave crest and trough color
Customize wall falloff towards the shore of your landscape
Detailed and highly configurable water interaction for any number of actors
Control wind influence on each tier of ocean waves individually
Simulated wave foam and shoreline foam customization allow for a range of different oceans styles ranging from crystal clear waters to foamy chaotic waves
Adjustable bioluminescence effects on the ocean shore, on wave crests, and when interacting with water add an extra level of immersion in night-time conditions
Seamlessly tiling Gerstner waves generated in Niagara for optimal performance
Modular system means you can pick and choose the effects you actually need for your project
Create a variety of different water styles to suit various themes and settings - from vibrant tropical waters to chilling arctic seas - stylized or realistic, fantasy, sci-fi, horror, toxic waters etc
Buoyancy functions included allow you to set up your own buoyancy system
Control detail reduction in the distance to reduce noticeable tiling patterns
Multiple example oceans included with different wave styles ranging from calm to stormy + material variations to demonstrate different types of water
Underwater post-processing effects (fog, caustics, depth-based darkening) help create a range of aquatic atmospheres - from tropical shallows to thalassophobia inducing depths
Multiple animated caustics patterns to choose from based on ocean water simulations under various conditions
Demo island with trees, flowers, grass, and cliffs included
Fully documented setup including description of blueprint and material parameters + in editor tooltips.
