Stylized Wild Ocean

StylizedWildOcean

A stylized, living ocean environment system for Unity (URP). Everything you need to build a vibrant, interactive ocean world — from dynamic water rendering to swimming fish, sailing boats, and full day/night transitions.

Also available on the Unity Asset Store.

🌊 Water Surface

Stylized shader with depth-based color gradients, refraction, and transparency

Dynamic foam system: shoreline band, wave crest foam, and noise-driven foam patterns

Normal map blending with two independently scrolling normal layers

Day/Night integration: water color, transparency, and refraction automatically shift between day and night

Material Inspector organized into logical sections — no hunting through raw shader properties

💧 Water Interaction

Ripples

Expanding ring effects on the water surface. Spawn from any source with a single API call.

Pooled for performance — no garbage allocation

Automatically dims at night

Used by fish leap, rain, click interaction, and gameplay events

Splashes

Particle-based water splash with configurable presets.

Built-in presets: Large, Small, and custom

Define your own presets with color, drop count, scale, and velocity

Pooled and night-aware

Fish Leap

Ambient fish that randomly leap out of the water near the camera, complete with rise, arc, and water-entry animation.

Configurable sprite list with per-fish scale

Hourly spawn probability curve (active during daytime, zero at night)

Automatic ripple + splash on entry and exit

Terrain occlusion check — fish won't spawn behind islands

Rain Effect

Continuous small ripples simulating rain hitting water.

Follows a target (camera/player) or uses a fixed area

Configurable density, radius, and ripple count

Terrain occlusion — skips ripples under covered areas

🚤 Boat Control

Rigidbody physics with smooth acceleration, drag, and collision response

Boost (Shift key) for speed bursts

Reverse steering — turning auto-inverts when going backward

Visual tilt — boat rolls into turns

Boundary system — keeps boats within a playable radius

Collision events — boat-vs-island (stop), boat-vs-reef (slowdown), boat-vs-boat (separation)

Wake Foam — particle trail behind the boat with V-line spread and center foam

Paddle animation — procedural paddle circling tied to boat speed and steering

🌅 Day/Night Cycle

Smooth 24-hour time progression with auto-advance

Sun direction, color, and intensity curves

Ambient sky/equator/ground color transitions

Unity native fog integration (density and color shift at night)

Global night blend broadcast drives all water sub-systems automatically

🌫️ Scene Height Fog

Full-scene post-processing fog with volumetric noise.

Height-based falloff for realistic atmospheric depth

Player clear — fog thins around a target (e.g. player boat)

Flowing noise animation for organic movement

Integrates with RenderSettings fog color or custom color

🏖️ Shoreline Waves

Advancing wave and foam strips along coastlines.

In-editor waypoint editing with Scene View handles

Loop or open path support

Adjustable strip width, subdivisions, and UV tiling

Wave count, speed, width, and far fade

Noise + Voronoi breakup for natural variation

Night foam auto-dim
