Material usage (no buoyancy)

Assign the MI_PlanetOcean to the sphere mesh of your choice or use the SM_OceanMeshGenerated mesh. To adjust the polygon density, see Generating ocean mesh.

The mesh you'd like to use the material with doesn't have to be a Static Mesh. It can be based on a Procedural or Dynamic Mesh Component, or on some third-party solutions like Voxel Plugin.

You have a wide variety of parameters that enable you to achieve the desired style. Here are some features:

• Wave parameters (direction, length, amplitude, steepness etc.)

• Subsurface scattering

• Waves attenuation at the shoreline

• Masking out water

• Waves and beach foam

• Scrolling normals (textures) on top of wave normals

Sphere with the ocean material can be moved and rotated at runtime.

Utilizing only the material results in a purely visual effect and does not offer buoyancy.
