crest VS UniRx

I believe that the BiRP version of Crest Ocean System supports underwater cameras. You may be able to figure out what they are doing from their source: https://github.com/wave-harmonic/crest, e.g. here

Some tools, such as Crest contain Shader Graphs which require further processing with tool scripts to generate the final shader. Sometimes people end up making changes to these generated shaders because modifying the base graphs and running the tool anew can be tricky or time consuming.

Hi everyone, recently I have been working on a water shader for my game but yesterday I noticed this incredible water system called Crest. The developers of Crest relased a paid version of it in the Unity asset store, but I curently don't have the budget to buy it. The problem is that while the paid versions work with HDRP and URP, the open source one works with SRP only, and my game runs in HDRP. The only way to make it work in HDRP is to convert the three custom shaders of the water.

Enjoy it! It really is a great asset, we are very happy with the purchase. They also support BRP through their GitHub! https://github.com/wave-harmonic/crest

Thanks! I'm using the Crest ocean asset for the water visuals and physics, so I can't take credit for that, though it took a lot of work tweaking all the various settings etc to get it to look like this.

Ocean Caustic is completed using Crest Ocean System HDRP, this plug-in is highly recommended! Their build-in version is free! Recently I found a very powerful ocean plug-in : KWS Water System, but it is not available for Scriptable Render Pipeline for now.

Thank you for the feedback - will look to refine it! This is actually on Unity using this amaze open source plug called Crest Ocean Systen - I’ve linked it in case you wanna check it out!

I personally haven't used this but I found it some time ago: https://github.com/wave-harmonic/crest It's for stimulating oceans so it's as good as it gets in terms of size. :D I event think there is paid version of this on asset store, probably has more features tho.

Personally I use UniRx, but there's plenty of flavours of event systems to dig into.

What paradigms & design patterns that those of you whom have more experience than I recommend? I've been advised to use things Dependency Injection (Extenject) and/or Reactive programming (UniRx), but that came from someone whose background isn't Unity. I would like to do this right the first time and make the code as maintainable as possible; we will be using it again in the future.

This is pretty cool. I wrote something similar for a narrower problem space: RolePlay Attributes. UniRx’s Reactive Properties feel like the total package but with a conceptual and dependency overhead.

Interesting, I hadn't heard of UniTask. I use UniRX in my projects which I think solves similar problems in a bit of a different way.

Sure, knowing the patterns and instead of using first order language features, you may get your own implementation of "observer" or something alike. But if you see your system becomes "event-heavy" it's maybe time to think about getting already complete solution: https://github.com/neuecc/UniRx // how to MV(R)P

The reason I'm leading things in this direction is because I highly recommend picking up UniRx. It brings reactive programming into your game development workflow and will completely change the way you look at development.

You should take a look at https://github.com/neuecc/UniRx, it allows you to subscribe to IObsevables. What I do is all my data objects use Properties that are observeable, which allows me for example to bind an object to the UI once, which then changes depending on the data state.
