Best water shader for rift + unity

I've tried several water shaders including the unity pro water shader and the tasharen water, but both use screen space rendering which results in pixel artifacts and inconsistent visual feedback, not to mention a massive hit on frame rate when rendering dual.

I'm curious if anyone has found a good reflective/transparent water shader with sine animation that plays nice in unity with the oculus ovr?

    The Beta SDK has a third camera directly on the OVRCameraController game object. In Suimono, I set this as the main camera and also checked the "Use UV Reversal" box.


    Thank you Mad! Worth a shot here. Really appreciate sharing this info!

    The reflection problem looks a lot like another bug while using Linear color space:

    you could try and see if this fixes the problem:

    It seems that disabling the OVRMain menu script from the OVRPlayerController fixes the linear color space shadow problem.

    I wonder whats broken with that script?"

    Not sure if this fits your criteria, but try this one https://m.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/ ... readnext_0

    If you read OP's comments in comments section he gives a link to the code for it for Unity and instructions on how to get it working. Not sure about the copyright on shadertoy stuff though.
