BeldarakBeautiful game, that shader looks amazing :O
Jaap van Hardeveld@noio looking great. Mind sharing a little bit the techniques you’re employing here to render such lovely foam and strong wake? Any sdf’s?
@jaaprood
definitely!
The water mesh is baked at edit time, and I use an SDF to bake "distance to shore" into the vert colors.
There's Gerstner waves in the vertex shader
For the wake you're talking about: I run the classic "2D Water Ripple" effect (Hugo Elias) in a separate compute shader
There's also an invisble particle effect rendering into *another* buffer that tracks the car's "wind wake", mostly used for vegetation but also expresses as foam on the water!
@noio awesome, thanks for breaking that down for me. All makes a lot of sense, too. It’s great how multiple techniques can come together so well.
