Hi,

I am using a Water Body Ocean with Gerstner waves. It all looks pretty good, but the water is not showing up in any reflections (boat hull and windows).

Is this a limitation? Or do I need to flip some switches?

Any help is much appreciated.

isnt there a checkbox in rtx/pp settings like include translucent?

Hi Marvelmaster,

That’s not working unfortunately. I switched to waterline PRO and this is visible in reflections.

Also I had some problems showing the UE water trough glass. In one scene it didn’t work and in a new scene it did. I must say however there’s still a great level of noobness involved in my Unreal Engine endeavours.

Thanks for your answer.

Has anyone figured this out? There is still no rtx reflection of the water in 4.27 preview…
What am i missing?

I am facing the same kind of issue, of water body ocean not being visible while taking a panoramic screen shot, is buying Waterline PRO the only option to solve this issue or we can get the reflection of water body by tweaking some setting as well ?
