Unity Water Painting Tools for Crest 5

Crest Water 5 - Paint provides interactive authoring tools to customize ocean and water surfaces directly within Unity. Designed as a dedicated extension for Crest 5, the package enables developers to paint waves, flow maps, water elevation, and surface visual traits directly onto water bodies in the editor.

Interactive Surface Painting and Non-Destructive Workflow

The package equips artists and level designers with brush utilities to paint waves, water level, clip surface, flow, and foam. In addition to surface motion, the brushes support painting optical characteristics including absorption and scattering. Directional properties such as waves and flow velocity are automatically derived from the direction and magnitude of each brush stroke.

All painted data is recorded through a non-destructive workflow where modifications are stored as discrete stroke entities rather than flat, permanent pixel writes. Because data is retained as stroke histories, developers can resize the target painting canvas without data loss or manually inspect and delete individual strokes. To deploy the painted results into standalone builds, the stroke data must be baked to a texture.

Use Cases

• Suitable for ocean and coastal scenes running Crest 5 that require directional wave and flow vectors painted along shorelines.
• Can support harbors, rivers, and caves needing localized water level adjustments and surface clipping around static structures.
• Useful for styling stylized or tropical water bodies requiring bespoke foam distribution, light absorption, and scattering zones.
