Field Shoreline

Adding Field Shoreline

To add a shoreline field in the world via UnigineEditor, do the following:

On the Menu bar, choose Create -> Effect -> Field Shoreline.
Place the shoreline field in the world so that it intersects Global Water object.
Notice
Make sure that the FieldShoreline interaction option is enabled for water_global_base material.
Go to the FieldShoreline node's Field tab, set up necessary parameters and grab the shoreline texture.

NoticeAfter adding a FieldShoreline object to the scene, you can't see any changes of the global water object because FieldShoreline object doesn't have any default texture.

Setting Up Field Shoreline

On the Field tab of the Nodes panel, the following parameters of the shoreline field can be adjusted:

Setting Bit Masks

Field	A field mask. A bit mask that specifies an area of the shoreline field to be applied to water. The shoreline field will be applied to water only if they have matching masks.
Viewport	A viewport mask. A bit mask for rendering the shoreline field into the current viewport. For the shoreline field to be rendered into the viewport, its mask should match the camera viewport mask.

Setting Shoreline Parameters

Size	Size of the shoreline field along the axes in units. Big sized FiledShoreline object provides less detailed swash zones.
Texture	Shoreline texture. Grab the texture to fill that field.

Grabber Parameters

Distance	Padding distance (from shore to the beginning of swash).
Blur	Blur coefficient (make shoreline smoother).
Resolution	Grabbing texture resolution.
Grab texture	Grabbing texture button.
