I recently discovered that with the latest Sapphire update, the water ripples move with the camera [before: they were static].

Is there something I missed?

[HE-Cooper]

There were a bunch of water and shader updates, so it's always possible something is happening that we didnt expect. What settings are you using so I can repro faster?

[StadiThompson]

It's the ocean and river setting, once you add the cubemap, the water's cubemap travels with the camera as you move.

[HE-Cooper]

Everything looks correct to me. Cube maps for river water were realigned to match Ocean water so they are both vertical now. But yes, a cube map means you're always inside of it. Trapped! :-)

[StadiThompson]

go into character mode and run along the coastline, sorry forgot that bit .

[HE-Cooper]

i suspect it's just an optical illusion with the reflected cube map traveling with you. If you set the wave speed high does the optical illusion go away?

[HE-Cooper]

I honestly can't tell if that's an optical illusion, or if it's the shader doing something weird, so I'll ask.

tracking horizontally along the cube map shows this behavior the most notably.

[HE-HERB]

We've investigated this, and do not see an actual defect based on matching the pre-existing behavior.  Although, it's easy to see an optical illusion of incorrectness, or have it look "wrong" based on a bad cube map.

If there's a specific issue in your world, email us the specific repro information.  In the meantime, we're closing this

I have the same problem as well. Was working perfectly fine before the package update, afterwards the water ripples all follow the characters movement.

It's possible it's something with our cubemap, but if that is the case we could use to know what causes the issue. So when making new cubemaps it's not created again. But as stated the cubemap looked fine before and didn't move with the characters movement.


Here is a link to video showing what we are talking about.

The issue is you wouldn't normally use animated waves and a static cube map, as it produces that optical illusion, but we have it queued up to look at after the next release to see if there's a medium to be found.

[HE-Cooper]

Well, that didn't take long. Dave found the issue, shader fix, updated in the next package apply.

buy Dave a beer for us.

Thanks guys for the work.
