I had a water shader built and running in non DXR projects but it doesn’t seem to work with Raytracing on - the culprit nodes appear to be those that sample depth in some form, I believe.
Is this not supported?
My shader was similar to the Translucent Water example content.
If you think about how ray-tracing works, SceneDepth doesn’t make much sense, since it’s a buffer that is valid only during pixel shaders. A ray hit has no concept of screen pixel position.
I’d assumed as such but didn’t consider the principles of raytracing! Thank-you for this. Any advice on how I might progress from here? Any tricks I can do to simulate water depth?
Could you post some screenshots to show the problem? Since RT is still experimental there are a lot of things that aren’t exposed right now.
If Pixel Depth is not working (no idea why) you can replace it with Distance node + Absolute World Position and Camera Position (World Space).
