Hi. I’m trying to build a island with a ocean surrounding it. I added the ocean body using the ue5’s water plugin. When you see it from above it seems to work but the underwater isn’t showing; whether I go down within the viewport or with the character in-game. I don’t know what the problem is. The underwater post process material is set in the water body ocean and the edit layer is active for my landscape but it doesn’t show anything in action. When I go underwater it shows something like this:

And the view from the top is like this:

I don’t know what’s wrong with. I’d be glad if someone could help.

Is the post process under the surface? And not infinite?

It is infinite and in the same level with the landscape

Maybe turn off infinite bounds and scale the volume to the area under the surface? Sorry I’m probably not much help but that’s all I can think of right now.
