Field Height
A field height is an object, specifying global water areas where height should be changed (for wakefields, water disturbance, etc.).
Global water object has heightmap for waves and FieldHeight has its own heightmap. Inside the field, the heightmap of the global water is gradually changing from the center of the field height object.
Notice
A field height object will affect water only if the FieldHeight interaction option is enabled on the States tab of the water_global_base material.
FieldHeight objects work fine with particle systems and decal objects.
Water disturbance near the buoy is made by using FieldHeight object.
Notice
The maximum amount of the rendered field heights per frame/bit mask — 8.

Adding Field Height
To add a height field in the world via UnigineEditor, do the following:
- On the Menu bar, choose Create -> Effect -> Field Height.
- Place the height field in the world so that it intersects Global Water object.
NoticeMake sure that the FieldHeight interaction option is enabled for water_global_base material.
- Go to the FieldHeight node's Field tab and set up necessary parameters.
Notice
After adding a FieldHeight object to the scene, you can't see any changes of the global water object because FieldHeight object doesn't have any default heightmap texture.
Setting Up Field Height
On the Field tab of the Nodes panel, the following parameters of the height field can be adjusted:
Setting Bit Masks
| Field | A field mask. A bit mask that specifies an area of the height field to be applied to water. The height field will be applied to water only if they have matching masks. |
|---|---|
| Viewport | A viewport mask. A bit mask for rendering the height field into the current viewport. For the height field to be rendered into the viewport, its mask should match the camera viewport mask. |
