Bring Winding Rivers & Roaring Oceans to 3D in Unity URP with AQUIS Pro
Available in Unity Asset Store with a scene template.
AureDevGames has released AQUIS Pro, a Unity URP package that simulates flowing rivers and stormy oceans.
The tool is a complete water solution that combines a powerful spline-based mesh generator, a highly customizable Water Shader, and an intuitive flow map creator. It's built exclusively for Universal Render Pipeline and supports perspective and orthographic cameras.
With AQUIS Pro – Water Tool & Shader, you can create a winding river with an intuitive handle system. You can paint splines in the Draw Mode directly onto the terrain and get the river that follows the direction you defined, and automatically align your water meshes to the terrain or custom collision layers. Apart from this, you can craft massive water bodies like oceans that feature customizable vertex density and subdivision settings.
Flow maps can be generated automatically based on the slopes and spline direction. Another option is to use the built-in Custom Paint Mode to paint the water direction and speed directly in the scene view.
The visualization created with the tool can also be enhanced by a realistic depiction of underwater, dynamic foam, and caustics. Underwater is portrayed with lifelike distortion and color absorption based on depth. Dynamic foam includes surface panning foam, flow map-driven foam, wave crest foam, and intersection foam, which appears where water meets shores and objects. Caustics, an intricate light effect, are ensured by beautiful, depth-based light patterns.
You can adjust the color grading of the water bodies so that they fit in the scene using the built-in "Caves" layer for stylized depth and HSV sliders, and add a final touch to your water scene with lighting and reflections. AQUIS Pro supports Point and Directional Lights and their casted shadows, specular highlights, Realtime and Baked Reflection Probes, and environment skybox blending.
The tool includes a template scene, so you can take a look at its mechanics.
