Amazing work! Couldn't believe my eyes when I've seen those handles, exactly what I needed for some bathroom scenes.
 
This looks great but sadly causes some issues in VR, the refraction behaves weird and even if you turn it off there are some strange artifacts in the eye when looking at the water.

Yeah, it's cool but def a bit off-putting for VR users. I was hoping this had the potential to supercede PluginIdea's water plugin, but I think that might still be the VR standard. That one also has the really cool "underwater" features.

To be fair, this is a free offering and still pretty cool, not to mention from a creator who rarely misses otherwise. I'm interested in how it might evolve.
 
Ooh, fast fix.

Also I hadn't realized what those curve points were for when I first tried it out! Custom shaping is pretty big...so many "pool" or "bath" type shapes in various environment CUAs that you always have to accept some excess surface area on for the other water plugin, but not with this. ☺️
