Enhance Water Reflections and Realism
Locate Water Settings
Access the shader configuration menu and find the water or reflection section. Veylora Shaders includes dedicated controls for water surface appearance.
Customize Water Visuals
Look for options controlling:
- Reflection strength: Increase to make water mirror the sky, clouds, and terrain more vividly
- Ripple intensity: Higher values create more visible wave patterns and surface disturbance
- Water transparency: Adjust how clearly you can see through to the bottom
- Refraction effects: Controls how light bends through water, affecting underwater visibility
Optimize for Your Build
For calm lakes and decorative water features, enable strong reflections and reduce ripple intensity. For oceans, rivers, and dynamic water scenes, increase ripple effects to convey movement. Test different times of day—water appearance changes dramatically under different lighting conditions, especially during sunrise and sunset when the sky reflects warm colors.
If performance drops near large water bodies, reduce reflection resolution or ripple quality slightly while maintaining the visual style you want.
