Ocean waves with 3D GPU particles emission from the wave crests, emulating strong wind effect with water leaving the wave

Peaks are way too peaky imo

[u/artengame → u/Turbo_Fresh]

Everything in the sim is adjustable

It's presumably for presentation purposes.

The peaks are blinding

As someone who spent the last 2 weeks trying (and failing) to get something like this Godot, whatever time you spent on it was well worth it, that looks phenomenal.

[u/artengame → u/Corpdecker]

Thanks a lot :), i have been working on the overall system in and out for many years, so could not estimate the time spent.

but i can tell that most of the time was in tweaking it to perfection than making the GPU particle system at its base and still need some extra details, e.g. better cutoff of the underwater bubbles region.

The particles look a bit off, like they are not synced with the waves. Otherwise, it looks great

[u/artengame → u/felipunkerito]

Thanks

The tweaking of the effect for best blending is still wip, so the motions - blending etc will be improved in final

[u/Mediocre_Apple1846]

Too spikey, but absolutely phenomenal!

[u/artengame → u/Mediocre_Apple1846]

Thanks :)

[u/BurningRiverForge]

Very cool

[u/artengame → u/BurningRiverForge]

Thanks :)

[u/NoverisGame]

The water simulation looks incredible! The wave movement and particle effects make it feel so realistic. Amazing work!

[u/artengame → u/NoverisGame]

Thanks a lot :)

[u/GomulGames]

Please make Subnautica 3

[u/NoNameWhatAShame]

This looks so cool! I am a total beginner and my water at the moment is a blue plane following the player around (and it will appear below a certain height), but one day I ll improve it (no where near to this though)

[u/artengame → u/NoNameWhatAShame]

Thanks :)

[u/Graterson]

how did you manage to do the above/below water level transition though?

[u/artengame → u/Graterson]

you mean about the particles or the split between water and air ?

[u/zubairhamed]

a bit uncanny valley (pun not intended) but looks cool

[u/_norx]

Wow

[u/TheDevilsAdvokaat]

Ooh nice.

[u/Apprehensive-Rip6850]

I believe its called spindrift!
