Crest Ocean System URP

Crest is a technically advanced, feature rich ocean system targeted at PC and console platforms.

Features

All sales proceeds are invested back into new features to add to our growing list:

• Simulated light transport including reflection, refraction, scattering, caustics approximation, shadowing
• Wavey water with innovative 'equalizer' style wave authoring. Both FFT and 'Gerstner' approaches supported.
• Query water displacement using GPU or CPU
• Dynamic wave simulation ('ripple sim') for dynamic object-water interaction including boat wakes
• Innovative 'wave spline' tech to give detailed control over water simulation including rivers, lakes and shorelines
• Shallow water - light scattering and wave attenuation
• Apply colour onto ocean surface similar to decals
• Foam simulated from waves and shorelines
• Manipulate ocean data (like foam) using mesh, trail, line and particle renderers.
• Underwater effect with partial submersion and meniscus
• Water volumes which can restrict rendering of both surface and underwater to a given geometry (eg sphere of water)
• Shader Graph nodes for applying underwater to transparent objects
• Flow to enable horizontal motion of water volume
• Physics interface with simplistic buoyancy implementations and support for Dynamic Water Physics 2
• Flexible time synchronisation to support networking and cutscene Timelines
• Surface clipping to carve hulls/caves out of water surface
• VR/XR supported (both Multi-Pass and Single Pass Instanced)
• Deferred and Forward rendering supported
• Perspective and Orthographics rendering supported
• Several example scenes covering many use cases
• Detailed helpboxes display validation errors direct in the Inspector with fix buttons to guide setup
• Online documentation with embedded videos
• Much more..

Asset Compatibility

We avoid non-standard techniques and are not aware of any major incompatibilities. Our users also use Dynamic Water Physics 2, Enviro, Gaia, Microsplat, Nature Manufacture, Azure[Sky], Skybox Creator, Vegetation Studio, and many more...

Example Scenes

This asset comes with a few example scenes, including the 'Pirate Cove' demo scene shown in the videos. This scene was assembled by @patrickprosic, using terrain textures generously provided by RD-Textures.com.
