Underwater view
To change the area where the camera displays an underwater view for a non-infinite water surface, use the Volume Bounds setting. Follow these steps:
- Create a GameObject with a collider component, for example a cube with a Box Collider component.
- Place the GameObject where you want the underwater view to be visible.
- In the collider component, select Edit Collider to set the size of the visible underwater area.
- Select the water GameObject.
- In the Inspector window, under Appearance, under Underwater, set Volume Bounds to the GameObject you created.
To set the area of the underwater view for an ocean, follow these steps:
- Select the ocean GameObject.
- In the Inspector window, under Appearance, enable Underwater.
- Adjust Volume Depth.
If you look directly upward at the water surface from below, you may see a square border around the scene view. This is normal. It is because HDRP can only use screenspace data underwater.
