Cool sea mesh, optimized and everything

Cool project but unless I’m mistaken , this doesn’t seem all that optimized if this is taking at minimum ~5ms with 300 studs render distance

The water we made for instance runs at 1.5ms with a render distance of 2000 studs

Thank you!

I’ll probably implement it soon, thanks for the suggestion.

A zone system is also something necessary, I’ll include in the to-do list.

This one I never heard before actually, good idea, the sea actually carries stuff around, I forgot about this XD

I think there are 2 main factors:

  1. My PC is an extreme potato, especially the CPU, the generation is so old I had a hard time finding it on google.
  2. My project is probably far away from being as good and optimized as yours :sweat_smile:

I won’t try to throw everything on the hardware, there is definitely more stuff to optimize on my code, I’m just taking a break because I’m tired of seeing the sea and that same code already :upside_down_face:

I’ll try testing this on other PCs I have here (not mine) later, and see how it performs

edit: There are also other important factors like the mesh resolution and how many Gerstner waves, etc.

I forgot to link it, F for my CPU :pensive:

#24

Do you plan on releasing this as a paid plugin anytime soon?

#25

I’m planning to open-source it soon, I just don’t know when. This file has been sitting here on my computer for a while now, idk

Also if I were to release it as paid you would have to wait for the creator store to get to other countries, mine isn’t supported currently

#27

This looks very cool! However, can I have the water’s texture ID if it’s allright? It looks very nice and I would love to use it in my games.

Besides that, the best time to open-source this would be right now in my opinion, if it’s finished, you should release it. It looks very good.

#28

Thank you! For the texture just follow this tutorial (or copy apenz1’s ids down there):

if you tweak some properties you’ll probably get better results than mine.

And if you pretend to tile it like I did throw your maps on this site:

Yeah, it’s mostly finished, it’s just a pain to put stuff on GitHub: I don’t know if I should put the rbmx file or the scripts; if I’ll have to convert the GUI to code; I need to create a repo and configure it; all that boring stuff, I’m just procrastinating about it.

I also want to open-source it while having an optional paid version on the creator store, but my country isn’t (fully, apparently?) supported by Stripe yet.

Thank you, again!

Thank you!

Heh, I get it, but once you do it, the possibility of this resource being used by many developers is pretty high, and with it being open-source, many developers can contribute to it and make it even better.

For the GitHub part, you should put all the scripts in an organized manner, there are a lot of template repos that you can fork/copy and configure to fit your own needs. Then, in the releases section, you should include the .rbxm file.

Oh, that’s actually a surprise for me, I’ll keep that in mind.

Was helpful? Do you mean my resource or another one? I don’t remember writing about the height lookup function on the main topic, but I’m glad it helped you!

I’m not worried, I even forgot about this post, I’m working on other stuff rn, just remembered because of Off_Xeno’s bump, but I’ll keep an eye on creator store updates so I can release it for people, thank you for the reminder.

Just ignore him, some developers are very cocky/egotistical. Especially scripters. Even though I am a scripter lol. Not all scripters are like that, but some are like him…

Oh yeah by the way forgot to say really nice creation. I like it. I’m trying to get better at physics and what not in luau myself so I’m impressed.

#36

Thank you! Just don’t know if I’ll have the patience to write it :sweat_smile: but maybe in the near future!

Oh, that guy? I don’t blame him, especially because of how I referred to his work, he reacted strongly but I shouldn’t have referred to it the way I did.

Thank you! Stay strong in your journey, and good luck!

I think you were fine, if anything he referred to your work rudely. But let’s leave it.

#38

Actually may I ask how you learnt to use all the constraints you know? (other than linear velocity/bodyvelocity, vectorforce/bodyforce, and weld constraints). The documentation and yt tutorials aren’t really helping. Maybe you could link a video?

#39

Yea of course, writing a tutorial for such a complex concept is challenging. I just wanted to let you know that I’d be useful for many people

#40

Releasing the code is way easier, but I’ll keep that in mind. Maybe after the release, I’ll cook a nice tutorial, thanks for letting me know!

#41

What constraints? Do you mean the align position and orientation on the boats?

Also just remembered back then I used the wrong attachment mode lol, if anyone is reading this and doing a similar boat floating system use the 1 attachment mode on the constraints, it’s way simpler.

#42

Any constraints you know other than the ones I listed. Please tell me how you learnt them it would be greatly appreciated.
