The ultimate ocean experience
Tired of staring at a flat blue plane and pretending it's the Atlantic? Same. So here's an actual ocean. With waves. Wet ones.
Endless ocean that follows your camera sail till your VR battery dies- Real rolling Gerstner waves: height, length, speed, choppiness, wind direction Boats float, pitch and roll with the waves - no more yachts glued to the sea like a sticker Hull mask cuts the water out of your boat, so the cabin stays dry (insurance loves it) Own water shader: depth fog, refraction, foam, sun glitter, Fresnel, shadows on the water Mirrors the VaM skybox, a reflection probe, a fixed color or your own sky Custom sky slot: panorama images or CUA skyboxes from asset bundles Horizon haze and calmer water far out, because the horizon deserves some peace too Dive in: underwater fog, shimmering caustic light rays and shadows that cut through them Everything sounds muffled under water - just like real life, minus the ear pressure Up to 4 ambient sound slots: waves, wind, gulls, your ex's voicemail Presets and "Set as user default" so your perfect sea is always one click away VR ready, single pass, both eyes, no seasickness included (results may vary)
