Update releaseSuperseded

Deform a water surface vertically

Rolling wave created with HDRP water deformation

What changed

Unity feature: HDRP water deformation

HDRP water decals can deform a water surface vertically and horizontally. A Shader Graph material defines the pattern, including rolling waves.

Use it

Enable Deformation in the water surface’s Water Decals settings.
Add GameObject > Water > Water Decal, create a Deformer and Foam Water Decal material, and edit its Shader Graph.

Requirements and limits

Requires HDRP’s water system. Deformation changes height; it is not a general fluid simulation.
