Updated Water Caustics Effect for Unity - Posted on: 10/28/2023   [Tutorials]



Oct 10, 2018
I've made many updates to this package since it was originally released. Please read the update notes in the Instructions. The latest version now includes an additional Standard Surface Shader.

I've created Unity Packages that can be easily imported with all assets intact. If you are unable to use the packages, I've also included a ZIP archive with the individual files. Resources are attached below!

Updated 2020/04/27. See Instructions.txt for notes.

Unity Resource: Skybox Fog 10/28/2023

Unity's built-in fog has no affect on the skybox. In the past, for better blending, I would paint the fog into the images using Photoshop. Now, I've created this custom skybox shader to make the process much easier!

Unity Resource - Cloud Shadows Effect (URP) 10/28/2023
May 22, 2021
The original Cloud Shadows asset was built for the Standard render pipeline and used the Projector component/shader, but that is now obsolete in Unity. Unfortunately this version doesn't have the same features, but might be a useful alternative still, specifically for the Universal Render Pipeline.

Unity Resource: Clouds Plane 10/28/2023
This is a simple effect for rendering 2d clouds in Unity. It uses a plane, an unlit shader, and two textures. Should work in Unity 5.6.5 and up. I've also updated the Cloud Shadows effect so both assets work well together.
