Highly customizable to suit your art direction through various parameters. This package focuses on providing artistic freedom, rather than a realistic water simulation. 

NEW Version 2.0! 
• 3 new demo scenes
• Revamped desktop shader
• 4 water VFX assets
• New mobile shader (up to 37% faster)
• Orthographic camera support
• Lighting modes (Unlit/Basic/Advanced)
• Shadow transmission
• Vertex painting support
• Water particle effects
• UX improvements
• Reflection blurring
• Tiling reduction (Desktop)
• Color gradient feature
• Improved wave animations (Desktop)
• Custom heightmap option 

Read all about the update here 

The style can be customized through a set of built-in textures, as well as by adding your own. These are automatically packed into channels, making this package customizable and lightweight. 

Also includes a mobile shader, features can be disabled to suit your performance target. Effects also feature an optimized mobile shader. Minimum requirement is OpenGL ES 3.0. 

== Colors ==
The water can be colored from shallow to deep through color fields, or through an integrated gradient editor. 

The material reacts to lighting conditions accordingly. Supports GI and Reflection Probes. 

== Intersection ==
Objects intersecting with the water, such as shores and rocks automatically receive a foam effect. Features several techniques for achieving this effect, more details in documentation

== Mask rendering ==
Intersection and opacity can be denoted through the use of volumes, or dedicated meshes. 

Features:
• Custom inspector, intuitive design
• Intersection effect with other objects
• Surface foam
• Orthographic camera support
• Advanced and Simple lighting modes
• Refraction (Desktop only)
• Planar reflections with blurring (Desktop only, excl VR)
• Shadow transmission from Directional Light
• Shallow wave animation (GPU)
• 8 built-in normal maps
• 7 built-in intersection textures
• 5 built-in wave heightmaps
• UV-based tiling or World-space (endless water) 

Contents:
• Island, lake and pond example scenes
• Desktop shader
• Mobile shader
• 4 matching water particle effects (splashes and circles) including shader. 

WARNING! Does not support:
• Buoyancy
• Lab Renderer
• Reflections in VR (SPR)
• Spherical water
• Scriptable Render Pipeline

• The Trail
• Shotgun Farmers

    Updated! https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/#!/content/71207

    Added:
    - Shaders can now be modified using ShaderForge.
    - Unity 5.5 support
    - Demo scene with 30 free stylized models
    - Option to randomize seed in inspector
    - Custom inspector component for ease of use
    - Fresnel color (alpha controls opacity)
    - New mobile shader variant "Basic"
    - Documentation now contains a parameter glossary

    Changed:
    - Improved support for Substance material instances
    - Changing materials shows/hides the new parameters automatically
    - Wave vertex offset now follows the mesh's normal direction, rather than offsetting in the world Y-axis (useful for curved surfaces)
    - Switched from glossiness to roughness type, for better results under low/no light conditions
    - Inspector GUI improvements
    - Substance will generate both texture maps regardless of "Generate all outputs" option
    - Fresnel color is now derived from Ambient Light rather than Directional Light
    - UV/WorldSpace tiling values are more logical
    - Reflection intensity is now bound to the glossiness parameter
    - Depth control is more physically correct

    Updated! https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/#!/content/71207

    v1.28
    This version includes a separate unity package which contains a Beta shader. It's targeted at desktop, mobile shaders will follow suit later. The minimum support version is Unity 5.4

    It features:
    - Recreated in Amplify Shader Editor entirely
    - Realtime reflections
    - Skybox lighting
    - Reflection Probe support
    - Added shallow water color parameter (replaces Depth functionality)
    - Mask surface highlight by heightmap (wave foam)
    - Wave direction configuration
    - Improved texture crosspanning
    - Improved glossiness
    - Option to use intersection texture for Surface highlights (desktop only)
    - Heightmap-based wave animation, you can pick between a Smooth, Sharp and Billowed style. Great for large bodies of water! (desktop only)
    - Unlit mode

    Some variations:
