Hi Nilson.

I’ve never logged on to these forums to post before (only to read and learn). But having downloaded and started integrating this in to my game I felt I had to post a thank you. This is an incredible asset that you and the team have made available, for free, to the masses. I had a few issues with getting it to work (masking in particular), but you’ve set out to help people with that as well. Genuinely can’t thank you enough!

Also I didn’t realise how much I needed this in my project until I opened up the project and watched those rolling waves… amazing work!

For the masking I found that if I set the UnderwaterPPVolume on the BP_Underwater that it would then take away the masked effect, and even if I did an undo it would still be gone. I’d have to close the map and re-open it without saving the changes. I don’t know if that indicates anything to you in terms of issues people may have been having?

The last video posted above just discuss that masking and underwater postprocess don’t work together as it is. It will be necessary a total rework on that, because the project used stencil for doing the underwater and unfortunately that conflicts with the masking which would use it too, and also there is no way to prioritize which will use it first, because the interior of a big ship or a submarine would be submerged and you want to see the underwater out of it while seeing the interior water free.

This is currently on top of my priority list regarding this project and as soon I have a bit of time I will dig into this.
