Ultimate River Tool

Everything you need to build believable, flowing rivers โ€” from automatic foam to angle-based turbulence and buoyant physics.

Features

Built for believable water

Automatic obstacle foam

Foam is generated automatically wherever the flow meets rocks and obstacles.

Realistic water shader

Distortion, reflection and caustics for a convincing translucent surface.

Spline-based river tool

Draw a spline and the river is built and flow-mapped along it.

Spline-based cascade tool

Create flowing cascades and waterfalls with the same spline workflow.

Flow visualization

Linear and turbulent flow visualization to read the water at a glance.

Angle-based flow material

The material reacts to river angle for natural rapids and calm stretches.

Buoyancy interactions

Physical objects interact with the river surface for floating and bobbing.

Custom foam & opacity painting

Automatic and hand-painted foam and opacity control via vertex paint.

Photo-scanned forest assets

High-quality photo-scanned trees, grass, stones and props to dress the scene.

UV distortion & warping

Automatic river UV distortion and warping with object detection.

Parametric wet stones

Stones blend wet and dry along the waterline, fully parametric.

Flow displacement animation

Height shifts and displacement driven by obstacles and river angle.
