Yeah the reflections is definitely the biggest that I have with the at the moment… screen space reflections are not gonna cut it here, you can improve them a bit by increasing the ray count in one of the .usf files but it comes with a cost and the result will be still far from accurate or clean.
Not really that much that we can do right now, it’s up to Epic to implement a better reflection system (it has to happen eventually but the question is when).

Anyways, I think I’m just about finished with the post process material:

It looks better in motion with the distortion and all
There are still many things I wanna add (like god rays and lens splashes) but will have to do for now.

I still need to fix a few things in the material and plugin code before the release but it shouldn’t take too long, maybe Friday.

Is for the PP -> waterplane -> horizon most water planes suffer from?

I noticed on the bug tracker on you said FFT based wave forms are in the works eventuallly. Arnt gerstner waves FFT based?

If not theres alot of code floating around working with FFT’s It looked similar when I glanced over it to the 8 sin sum gerstner setup though.
