This extension adds a decal-like system that allows the water surface to be displaced and its foam and normals to be modified.

This will allow users to have much more trees in their environments, at a much smaller performance cost. Billboards will maintain the same wind animation as the actual tree, which makes pop-in less noticeable. Color changes made to the trees, through their Substance material, such as branch...
