Realistic Water Shader

A stunning water shader for Roblox using Surface Appearance and custom scripts to simulate realistic water with waves, reflections, foam, and underwater effects.

Visual Features

• Wave Simulation: Multi-directional wave system using vertex displacement. Configurable wave height, speed, and direction.
• Reflections: Dynamic environment reflections using a reflection probe system.
• Foam: Procedural foam at wave crests and shorelines.
• Caustics: Animated light caustic patterns on underwater surfaces.
• Underwater Effect: Color tint, blur, and bubble particles when camera is submerged.
• Depth Fog: Water becomes darker and less transparent at depth.
• Shoreline Interaction: Foam and ripple effects where water meets terrain.

Performance Modes

Three quality presets: Ultra (full effects), Medium (no caustics), Low (static water with basic tint). Auto-switches based on client FPS.

Includes

Ocean preset, lake preset, river preset, and a swamp preset. Each with matching ambient sounds from the SFX bundle.
