Amazing work! Couldn't believe my eyes when I've seen those handles, exactly what I needed for some bathroom scenes.

Is this limited to Horizontal Axis ?

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.

Hello, thanks again for this amazing tool!
I'm working on a scene that requires an opaque, milky surface. I tried fiddling with all the dials, but could not push them far enough to create this effect. Could there be an option to extend the range of the dial (like in many morphs/geometry dials)?

Hello, Thank you for this wonderful plugin.
However, I've noticed a problem when adding the CUA Skyboxes from Spacedog: the water surface shifts upwards and the simulation stops.
