How can I Fix Lighting/Shadowing Bug on my water plane?

Hello.

I’ve run into this problem, where my Water Plane is producing really aggressive Shadow/light glitches with my directional light.

Here you can see how it looks:

Standard Lit View

This only happens with Translucent Materials. It also disapperas when I go into my directional light and uncheck “affect translucent lighting” but that’s no option for me.

Here you can see my waters’ material graph:

So I’ve fiddeled around with the directional Lights settings because i thought it could have something to do with cascaded shadow maps or distance field shadows but turn’s out that makes no difference.

Hi, you could use the single layer water shading model in the material.

Yes, you are right! I never used that Shading Model before and it looks really great!
Thanks.

In case somebody has a clue about what kind of bug that was, I’d be still interested.
