Thanks we will investigate
btw @Sitta did you have any installation problem with 1.9.0?
nope
my previous version was th 1.8.5. beta if that matters
aaah, yee that is very helpful, thanks!
did you install it on top, or uninstall 1.8.5 beta first`?
on top
should i try to uninstall?
Nah no point, seems somehow the water was broken
even though I tried it in internal build before this morning😬
also, when you installed 1.9, did you get cmd window (that ran for a little while) appear as a final step of the installation?
yes. 2 of them i think
Perfect, thanks!
just asking cause there seems to be some issues going from 1.8.6 to 1.9.0, besides the water problem😬
adding you both here @kaluffa @Sitta
Did you try to restart UE for this water problem?
I just got the same version as you have, and for me the water worked, I tried to replicate Sitta's scene 🤔
also what ue version are you both on?

Yes, tried restarting UE
Thanks!
Could you both try this please? 🙂
close UE, then open the project folder find the asset folder inside Polygonflow and delete that?
then it will re-import the water into your project when you try to use it

Great!
Works for me as well. Sadly not what i'm looking for though 😅 Not really meant for being used with the path tracer i assume?
Good!
And oh, sorry to hear that😅
I think @Roger_ will have to answer that in the morning when he is awake. Are you having reflection issues? I know Roger said hardware raytracing can make those better
If other issues, describe them here and Roger can check tomorrow! It is our first iteration so it defintely have some limitations yee
Yea it's too reflective in the path tracer. The depth slider has no effect.
this is from the water shader i'm currently using.
this is from the advanced water shader
i guess this is because it's not built using the single layer water shading model?
Yes not build with the single layer water shader. That will be depricated after 5.5
Thanks for sharing the issue with path tracer. I will check that tmr
dear god... what will replace it? 😄
substrate?
The new water system. They showed in 5.5 they want people to use it more.
Well i hope it will work well with PT 🙂
This is now "fixed" an update should be available soon.
