An ocean demo in Godot 3.0. I am very proud of this demo and I want to thank you for trying it out.

How to customize the ocean

The ocean demo uses what's known as Gerstner waves. A constant collection of them is used to create that wavy feel of the waters. It also uses a lil bit of noise to really sell the effect. Both of these features are customizable with almost self-explanatory parameters.

Main wave parameters

-Amplitude defines how high your waves will be.

-Wavelength defines how long your waves will be.

-Steepness defines how 'choppy' your waves will be. Don't set this too high or else your waves will start self-intersecting.

-Wind Direction controls the direction the overall waves would go.

-Wind Align also determines each wave's individual direction. A value of one means they all go in the exact same direction. A value of zero means waves go in completely random directions.

-Speed controls how fast the waves propagates.

-Seed determines the final parameters of each wave. Find the seed that you like the best.

Noise parameters

-Noise Enabled. Yeah. Whether to use noise at all.

-Noise Amp controls how high the noise looks.

-Noise Freq controls the smoothness/granularity of the noise. Higher values make it smoother and less granular.

-Noise Speed controls how fast the waves propagate.

First Person Control

When running the project(sorry if it's slow to load. I'm looking into that.) You can fly around. Look at your ocean from every angle. And you can do so like this.

-Use your mouse to look around.

-W key go forward.

-S key go backward.

-A key go left.

-D key go right.

-Q key toggle between fly and edit mode. You cant play with the ocean parameters and fly at the same time.

The flying code is from Jeremy Bullock's youtube tutorial series on first person control.

godot-ocean-demo's Issues

Error after running Godot-Ocean-Demo

Not sure if this project is still active but found an issue

godotengine/godot#43666

OceanShader.tres has broken dependencies: noise_tileable.png

Attempted to clone from repository and import/edit the godot.project file and received the error.

Scene 'res://OceanShader.tres' has broken dependencies:

OceanShader.tres is missing

Hello
The asset didn't work for me , when i try to open it , it said that OceanShader.tres is missing : here are the screenshots :

and when i try to skip this and launch it i receive this error :

Geometry turns black at certain angles

This is showing an issue I'm having with this shader. Any part of the mesh that is at or below a certain angle turns black. The camera angles affects this. Looking straight down at the water, this issue is not apparent.

My system specifications are:
O.S.: Ubuntu 16.04, with Kernel 4.13.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700
GPU: Radeon RX 570, with the driver included in the Kernel.
Memory: 16GB
