I’ve had a tonne of fun playing with refraction, world position offset, creating procedural foam, procedural water deformation and vertex paint options. These shaders and materials were made from scratch without the UE4 water system as a base as I heard it was still quite buggy and had cause some of my friend’s engines to crash at times. If the internal system becomes more stable I might merge my system in the future!
