This is a great product. Hands down. If you want turn-key rivers with an easy learning curve, R.A.M. is your Huckleberry. Edited: Gave full 5 stars for a prompt developer response. The purpose of writing this review is to leave constructive criticism regarding the way splines are handled. The splines are not Unity's normal splines, they are splines that NM made themselves, possibly before there was good spline support inside of Unity? (which is cool) My terrain creation detailing, and texturing workflow relies on splines. I am having to create 2 sets of splines, The normal Unity ones, and then this custom R.A.M. set. This creates a significant work overhead, as it's not simply doubling the work, but I have to meticulously hand match the splines sets by hand. I will say that the RAM splines are not as user friendly, and though I have not done significant digging, I suspect that they are more difficult to access with scripts in order to write custom tooling or productivity hacks. (Correction: Developer did mention below that this is possible through the API, Awesome!) I would recommend that the developer make the next version of this to use Unity's built in splines. Having said all that, R.A.M. is a great product. I have derived much value from it.

Certainly does what its advertised to do. The Only Problem i Have is that it is bloated. I dont want to dowload 1.7gb of data just for a water shader. Include the demo scenes optionaly, then I will give 5 Stars

The animated shaders of the rivers, the textures and the options that you can touch on them mean that you can give your game a good realistic touch, I would love to see an updated version of this asset as you have already done with the L.V.E 2023 asset. This is already my fantasy, but I would like that in a future new R.A.M assert, underwater effect and water wave physics would be added and since R.A.M 2019 has a sea material/shader, it could be possible to create an ocean or sea with R.A.M would be easier and would not consume so much when creating it, since in my case when making a huge lake with this shader to simulate a sea, I cannot create it because Unity being so large ends up giving me an error or lags ...

I had no problems getting going with this in HDRP 2022.3.7f1. Works great out of the box and adds in more character to your world

I'm still a beginner and I have to be very careful about what tools and how I pair them. I use Playmaker next to them. I am currently working in Unity 2022.3.12f1 and it works fine for me. You follow the instructions in the settings and it comes to life. Of course you have to get used to handling it, but after that it's great. Thank you. (Én még kezdő vagyok, és nagyon óvatosnak kell lennem, hogy milyen eszközökkel és hogyan párosítom. Mellettük a Playmakert használom. Jelenleg a Unity 2022.3.12f1-ben dolgozom és nekem jól működik. Követed a leírtakat a beállításoknál és életre kel. Természetesen össze kell barátkozni a kezelésével, de utána szuper. Köszönöm.)

Great water asset

is it possible to do a waterfall? I haven't found any tutorial on the subject or in the docs.

Used for a crossroad between a road and a river, i am a Maya particle designer, so is not my job nor my field, is not as easy to use as they say, took 20 hours to actually understand enough to use it, but when i did, took 35 mins to build a scene that would otherwise take 20 hours to do. Building a game about 4 devs that need to reach the shop to buy a NAS to connect it in Lan, booooring....

I have barely scratched the surface but so far I've had great luck in getting some awesome water in my scenes. The movement in rivers, lakes, even seas looks great. Once I get the splines settled I waterfalls are really cool. I will definitely be upgrading to the 2023 version when it comes out as that looks to add more stuff. Meanwhile as I get this figured out (especially splines) I will be playing with LVE and review it separately.....

Good asset, helped a lot in creating rivers, lakes and the ocean. Pros: 1) Excellent Plane creation system. Easy to manage. 2) Excellent system for combining rivers into 1. 3) Not a bad system of combining rivers with lakes and oceans, although not ideal (you need to spend time)! 4) Several pre-configured materials. For mobile phones, for PC and for different pipelines. 5) There are ready-made effects for waterfalls (particle)! Cons: 1) No water trail system! If the hero or any object floats on the water! 2) The physical buoyancy system is not implemented in the best way! It needs to be improved. 3) I did not find ready-made masks for objects in the water! Only paint by hand (and for this you need to make water high-poly)! But in general, the asset saved a lot of time! Probably the best asset for creating water!
