Hydroforms main advantage over other water systems is that the waves are 100% GPU generated which has many benefits:
-No CPU resources are used
-No vertex data needs to be copied to the GPU every frame
-It runs pretty much anywhere
*Note – not optimized for mobile
-Amplitude, frequency, speed, wave complexity, etc can be modified in realtime
-Easy to integrate and maintain
-It runs in the editor and looks the same as in game mode
-It is simple, flexible, and fast
Another great feature of the Hydroform Ocean System is the realistic shoreline rendering:
-Shore detection is automatic – just drop the water in and it works!
-Waves fall off in shallow water so high amplitude waves don’t overrun shoreline
-Animated foam rendered on shoreline with full control over color, depth, speed, and frequency of the foam
-Refraction
Other features:
-Volume culling to remove ocean from unwanted areas
-Fine grained control over performance – set the vertex density, wave complexity, and patch size to suit nearly any target platform
-Truly infinite ocean – it will always render out to any far plane distance without any extra performance hit – great for flight games/simulations
-Loads of controls for different looking oceans
-Screenspace reflections (super fast in high complexity scenes!)
-Subsurface scattering
-Deep water whitecaps
-Fast height queries
-Does not use finicky compute shaders
-Looks great both up-close and far away
-Full control over shallow and deep water colors
-Control over wave damping in shallow water
