I do love this plugin but its a major disappointment that in VR you cannot get environment reflection in an interior.
- The Planar reflections do not work in VR.
- The traditional reflection probe does not cast any reflection to the water.
I hope the dev really fixes this. Apart from this serious lacking, Crest is among my favorite plugins.

Reflection probes do work. Planar Reflections are not supported in VR, as they are typically too resource intensive to use. Please contact support if you are having issues.

This is the best water solution I have ever seen for Unity with soooo many features. Highly recommended!

English:
After using it for a while, here's what I've learned.
This tool is suitable for ocean games with large scenes rather than indoor water body design. The reason is that you will not be able to design just one room with a body of water, but once more than one room requires the use of a body of water, then the design flaws of this tool are exposed.
This tool only allows for a single instance of a body of water to exist, you can't create multiple bodies of water at the same time, and even though the tool provides the ability to set the height of the body of water as well as other components within the tool, I couldn't quite manage to split the entire body of water after several months of trying to do so and also writing a level design document for it, and I got so fed up with it that I switched to another creator's body of water tool.

Chinese:
使用一段时间后,我有了以下体会。
这个工具适合大场景的海洋游戏而非室内的水体设计。因为你设计带有水体的房间不会只是一个,但是一旦多个房间都需要使用水体,那么这个工具的设计缺陷就暴露出来了。
这个工具只允许水体单例存在,你无法同时间创建多个水体,即使工具内提供了设置水体高度以及其他组件,但是在经过我几个月的努力下还为此写了关卡设计文档,还是无法做到完全将整块水体进行分割,我受够了,以至于我换了其他创作者的水体工具。

Thank you for the feedback.
Authoring multiple rooms with water is certainly possible with the provided tools. The only limitation being separate water bodies overlapping on the vertical axis. But this limitation can be mostly solved using scripting.
If you contact support, we may be able to advise a solution.
I have been using Crest since 2021 and it does a great job.
But....
Be aware that future upgrades have no discounts. The Dev does not value customer loyalty. You will have to pay full price for Crest Water 5. Wave Harmonic's did not learn from Unity's recent pricing debacle.
Check out KWS or Oceanis to see if these meet your needs. These will be much cheaper for you in the long run. For example, I just upgraded to Oceanis 2024 and the dev only charged $6 on a $90 asset.
Of course, Wave Harmonic are entitled to price their products however they want. But, as a customer, I can choose where to spend my money. I personally won't use Crest in my next project. There is no future proofing of costs with this developers pricing model.

We are sorry you feel this way.
We considered everything and this was the only reasonable option for us this time. Instead we had an opening discount for everyone. There being no discount upgrade between 4 and 5 does not mean we have a policy against discounts for upgrades in the future.
If you bought Crest in 2021 you would have received several years of free updates and support. Furthermore, Crest 4 is still supported - it received Unity 6 support for free.
It is not fair to leave negative reviews on products where you have already received considerable value.
Either way, thank you for using Crest. We hope that in due time your outlook changes to a positive one.
Unity has a water system, but I found the Crest Water System easier to use. I also received quick answers to my questions, so I think they are very responsive. The documentation and tutorial videos are good, and I appreciate that the assets themselves are being updated. I am personally happy that the Crest Water System is available in Unity2021. I think the representation of Underwater, River, Water Interaction, and Foam are good and realistic.

Thank you. 2023.3 will not be the LTS version. 2023 LTS will be at the end of the year. Support for 2023.3 will likely come after it is release though.

At sea right now, SO SIMILAR

I've been working with this asset for a little over a month for a VR experience, I thought it was good. But I didn't realize HOW GOOD until now. I'm on a cruise right now, NYC to Caribbean, and I keep thinking how similar it looks to this asset (I've been using urp, if that helps)
Thanks for this
