## What it is
A community-driven ocean shader and water simulation package for Unity, featuring wave rendering, buoyancy, and boat physics with multiple shader LODs. It is an optimized next-generation iteration of the classic Unity community ocean shader, tested on mobile (Android).

## Use cases
- render realistic ocean water in a Unity game
- add buoyancy physics to boats in Unity
- simulate ocean waves on mobile devices
- hide water inside a boat hull with a mask system
- get an open-source water shader for Unity 5/2017/2018

## When to choose
- you need a free, open-source ocean/water solution for Unity
- you're building boat or watercraft gameplay with buoyancy
- you target mobile platforms and need optimized water shaders

## When to avoid
- you use a Unity version newer than 2018 without adaptation
- you need a maintained, actively updated water system
- you're not working in Unity

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: simulation, graphics, game-engine
- domain: simulation, graphics
- platform: game-engine, cross-platform
- tags: unity, ocean-shader, water-simulation, buoyancy, shaders, waves, game-development, mobile
