Hey guys, I have finished and released my Planetary Oceans plugin - a solution for oceans on spherical worlds.
Features:
Gerstner waves on a sphere
Can be moved and rotated at runtime
Any amount of oceans in the level
Waves foam, beach foam
Subsurface scattering
Distance field based waves attenuation (to flatten the ocean on the shore)
Texture based normals on top of wave normals
Planned features (NOT IMPLEMENTED YET ):
Ocean quadtree (LOD) system
Buoyancy system
Wave presets blending
Custom physically based atmosphere (any amount in the level)
Network replication
Marketplace link Discord

Some progress on the upcoming buoyancy update
Just for the record, @script526 asked to use the boat from the EnvironmentProject (Ocean Project). I’ve given him permission to use anything from the project. I wish him and his project the best, it is a really cool concept.
