Crest Water 5 - Shallow Water

About Crest Water 5 - Shallow Water – Unity Editor Tool & Plugin

Unity Shallow Water Simulation and Shoreline Tool

Crest Water 5 - Shallow Water is an advanced dynamic simulation module designed to expand Crest 5 with realistic shallow water behavior. Serving as a specialized alternative to standard wave attenuation, the package delivers dedicated simulation techniques to render physical shorelines, streams, and shallow water surfaces across coastal and inland environments.

Simulation Modes and Workflow

The package introduces simulation systems configured through presets for both shorelines and streams. Surface simulation results adapt dynamically based on defined water sources and the terrain geometry interacting with the water body:

• Shoreline Simulation: Capable of running as a static simulation volume or configured to follow the active camera.
• Stream Simulation: Simulates moving water courses, with functionality to bake the calculated simulation output into textures to preserve runtime performance.
• General Shallow Water: Simulates physical flow and shallow water areas generally across irregular bed topography.

Workflow implementation is supported by built-in validation checks, inspector tooltips, and sample scenes demonstrating functional stream and shoreline configurations. The baking workflow operates in the editor, allowing developers to generate baked simulation textures prior to runtime deployment.

Use Cases

• Suitable for coastal environments requiring a movable or static shallow water simulation along complex beaches and shorelines.
• Can support river and canyon environments needing dynamic streams with the option to bake calculated flow to textures.
• Useful for ocean and terrain setups running Crest 5 that require specialized physical simulation beyond standard wave attenuation.
