Crest is a technically advanced, feature rich ocean system targeted at PC and console platforms, authored by professional game developers.
Important: There are no plans to support Unity 2023 or later at this stage. A new asset is being developed instead.
Features
All proceeds are invested back into new features to add to our growing list:
- Simulated light transport including reflection, refraction, scattering, caustics approximation, shadows
- 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 (also supports HDRP 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
- Ocean Shader Graph (2021.2 only)
- Ray-Traced Reflections support (2021.2 only)
- Decals supported
- Screen-Space Reflections supported
- VR/XR supported (both Multi-Pass and Single Pass Instanced)
- Deferred and Forward rendering supported
- Perspective and Orthographic 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…
