Stylized Water 2
4.7.Third party integrations
Installation for third party assets can be activated through the asset window, accessible through the Window → Stylized Water 2 → Hub menu
Fog assets
Depth-based fog effects cannot shade transparent materials, such as water. Instead, the exact same fog shading must be applied directly in the shader, similar to how the built-in Unity fog works.
Most fog assets provide general use shader functions, which the water is able to incorporate. This allows it to mirror the fog shading perfectly.
As of version 1.1.2, it’s possible to toggle fog shading for the water globally through script. This example script disables fog for a specific camera. You can repurpose the same functionality, where the global _WaterFogDisabled
float is set to either 1 (on) or 0 (off).
COZY Weather
COZY renders its skybox and fog as scene geometry using transparent materials. Because of this, the water material’s Render Queue value must be set to 3001 (default is 3000). You can find this option at the very bottom in the material UI.
This will ensure the water always renders in front of the sky & clouds, but behind the fog sphere. This behaviour is inherent to how 3D transparency rendering works in Unity and is not specific to either assets.
Note: Without Enviro’s fog render feature active, the water will turn white, since no fog settings will be passed on.
Buto | Volumetric Fog and Lighting
Other assets
This has to be activated through the “Activator” tab in the Curved World window. It should point to the Assets\Stylized Water 2\Shaders folder before hitting the “Activate” button.
After which, options will appear in the material UI at the very bottom.
If present in the project, a button will appear that unlocks the StylizedWaterDataProvider component.
Buoyancy only works for flat water bodies, such as lakes and oceans. A curved mesh such as a river or planets is not supported. It’s unlikely support for this will appear, due to the technical complexity involved.
