Enhance Water Appearance and Wave Movement

Access Water Settings

Open shader options and find the Water section. This controls how Lumeau renders water surfaces and their interaction with light.

Adjust Wave Parameters

Configure:

• Wave height: Controls the amplitude of water surface undulation. Higher values create more dramatic waves; lower values produce calm, gentle movement.
• Wave frequency: Adjusts how quickly waves move across the surface. Faster waves feel more turbulent; slower waves look peaceful.
• Water transparency: Affects how clearly you see through water. Increase for visibility underwater; decrease for more opaque, reflective water.
• Water reflection quality: Determines how sharply water reflects the sky and terrain.

Test in Different Environments

Visit oceans, rivers, and lakes to observe wave behavior. Gentle waves work well for calm biomes like swamps and small ponds. Increase wave intensity near waterfalls or in stormy-feeling areas. Adjust transparency based on your preference—clearer water shows underwater details, while opaque water creates a more mysterious appearance and may improve performance slightly.
