Access Water Settings

Open the shader configuration menu and find the water or reflection section. Sildur's Vibrant provides dedicated controls for how water looks and behaves.

Adjust Water Clarity and Color

Modify water transparency to make underwater exploration easier or more atmospheric. You can typically control:

  • Water fog distance: How far you can see underwater
  • Water tint: The color cast applied to submerged areas
  • Wave intensity: How much water surface ripples and moves

Configure Reflections

If reflection settings exist separately, you can:

  • Enable or disable reflections entirely (major performance impact)
  • Adjust reflection quality or resolution
  • Control reflection intensity to make them more or less visible

Test Your Changes

Navigate to a body of water and observe how your adjustments look in different lighting conditions—bright daylight, sunset, and night reveal different aspects of water rendering. Underwater caves and ocean floors benefit most from clarity adjustments.

Save your configuration when satisfied.
