- Description:
- WaveMaker 2 is a mesh modifier that simulates real-time wave behavior on a procedurally created rectangular mesh. It interacts with rigidbodies and responds to interaction, making it suitable for creating small to medium-sized water surfaces like pools, portals, and ponds.
Key features include:
* Two-way coupling system: Water affects rigidbodies and volume occupancy is calculated simultaneously
* Support for arbitrary surface position, rotation, length, and width
* Heightfield-based real-time fluid simulation on CPU
* Mesh properties updated in real-time to work with lighting
* Scene hierarchy agnostic
* Wave speed, damping, and smoothing parameters
* Simple and advanced interaction modes
* Idle/rest status of surfaces to reduce computation to a minimum
The asset is not suited for huge surfaces, breaking waves, or aerodynamics. It requires Unity 2020.3.48 to 2023.2.16 and all rendering pipelines.
Technical details:
* Heightfield-based real-time fluid simulation on CPU
* Two-way coupling simulation: Waves affect objects and objects generate waves at the same time
* Mesh normals updated in real-time to work with lighting
* Possibility to add substepping to avoid inestabilities and increase simulation speed
* Arbitrary surface position and rotation, length, and width
* Timestep independent
* Fixed Update simulation time depends on the type of simulation
Development details:
* Requires Burst, Mathematics, and Collections packages
* Quality code, full documented API to get gradients, heights, and other data from the surface and interactors
* Full C# source included
* Heavily multithreaded code written with Jobs and Burst, with very small CPU cost - Technical Details:
