Showcasing Water and Wind Effects in Coastal Builds

Designing Around Natural Terrain

EchoShift introduces clearer water, soft ground shadows, and wind effects that cause plants to sway. Setting up a base along a coastline or riverbank allows you to take full advantage of these environmental visuals.

Incorporating Foliage and Water

1. Choose an ocean, beach, or river shore for your build location.

2. Plant tree saplings and place tall grass around paths, courtyards, and garden borders. The shader applies wind effects to tree leaves and tall grass, causing them to sway back and forth naturally.

3. Construct docks, bridges, or underwater viewing rooms along the water's edge. EchoShift makes the water look much clearer and more natural, allowing you to see through the surface to the seabed below.

4. Step outside during sunrise or sunset. The sun and moon cast light with softer, non-blocky shadows across your structures, while the cleared sky gives you an enhanced view of the sun and clouds.
