i've been trying to figure out how to do that, would you mind telling me?

[dark panther]

It's editable mesh

I haven't shown the whole scene

But firstly I made chunk system

So I can change render distance

Also u should have a table with all vertices world offsets

After that we can try moving mesh with player's character

Now we need to make wave formula

For first time u can try to use sine wave

Now to actually generate waves u need to loop through all vertices using table u got

Every vertice has offset

Like in minecraft

Every vertice is a block

And it has it's own coordinate x and y

Depending of coordinates of every vertice u should calculate heigh of vertice's actual position, not offset

And all done

But

Ur waves will be laggy

So u should multithreading

In conclusion it's kinda hard to make actual ocean

Bc editable mesh has limit amount of vertices and faces

My ocean isn't finished yet

I need to make chunks that far away from player to have less amount of faces

Anyways editable mesh is kinda hard to learn

I'll send another video with wider view of my ocean later

[dark panther]

no video but here u can see that there are not enough chunks for ocean

there are so many vertices

but

we don't need to see that much far away from player's location

so next thing do to is chunks with less amount of vertices

also waves are tiling but it's fixable

i hope anyone enjoyed this dev log (bc it's showcase i think)

see ya

Alright, thank you

This is very helpful, your the goat

robloxs lack of self occlusion makes good looking water so hard

only glass has it

It gets really noticeable when you get bigger distances

the look of the water is pretty good tho

How did you achieve that?

[dark panther]

reflectance + transparency

i'm trying to make different chunk resolutions

this is all that has happened so far
