Physical Water Surface

[Theokoles]

@Zipker

Thanks, Theo! Your advice was very helpful!
I decided my issue in this way:
I animated Time in GerstnerWaveCum via Scalar Parameter in sequencer and than record movement of boat via Take Recorder in run-time. This setup allowed control and observe movement of the boat in the editor(not in simulation). Also this is useful for camera animation for previs.

But I have one more question:
when I ran my project with RTX, waves have strange noise mask effect . I think it happens inside “WaterMotion” node, but I don’t know how can I fix it.
Could you tell me please, is it possible to fix this noise on the water if RTX on?
I use UE4_4.24.3

It is a known issue that this artifact appears with Raytracing. I will investigate if I can make Physical Water Surface work with Raytracing.
