Stylized Water 3 - Dynamic Effects (Extension)

Version: 3.0.5

9.Troubleshooting #

Everything is set up, yet I see no effects on the water

This may happen when importing the extension, whilst having unresolved compile errors in your project. As a result, an automated install process fails to execute.

To resolve this right-click on the Stylized Water 3/Shaders folder and choose “Re-import“.

Effects pop in, depending on the camera position/angle

This behavior is attributed to Transparency Sorting. It will occur when two effects overlap, and are on the same Sorting Layer and on the same height.

To remedy this:

Increase (or decrease) the “Sorting Layer” value on one of the effects.
Move either effect slighting up/down on the Y-axis

Displacement has no effect, no matter which strength value or effect is used

Displacement needs a sufficient amount of vertices to work with, check that your water geometry isn’t extremely low-detail

Effects work in the editor, but aren't visible in a build

In the build, a different quality level is likely being used. If you have specific renderers associated with the different quality levels, ensure that the Stylized Water 3 render feature is in fact added to them.

If absent, rendering simply doesn’t take place.
