TechArt Demo: Toon Ocean

A tech art project based on a study of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker's ocean. Made with Godot. Work in progress

Features

•  Ocean's waves

Plane mesh displaced with a simple noise by vertex shader. Computed in global coordinates so it's only needed to render a plane mesh around the camera, instead of rendering the whole ocean (would be too much polygons).

• Physics object buoyancy computed from ocean displacement

• Ocean's color is obteained by mixing 2 layers of the same greyscale texture and  simple displacement mapping for watery effect.
• Simple wind FX using Godot particles system
