    Hi,

    I have a dynamic mesh grid as the water surface in my game. I animate it over time to simulate waves. I would like the surface to reflect the objects rendered above and partly intersecting (floating on) the surface. First I thought about using a cubemap and standard reflection shader but that only works if the surface is flat.

    Can you point me in the right direction, since I have no idea how I should start tackling this, thanks!

    I have access to Unity Pro, so I can use all the advanced features if needed.

    You can use my "Aubergines Water Shaders" package in the assetstore.

    Do they work correctly if the water surface geometry is animated (ie. not a flat plane)? In the demo pictures the water always seems to be a flat plane.
