What's new

v1.1.0 — Water, Sunlight & Fog Overhaul

🌊 Water

  • Replaced single-wave animation with 3 layered waves at different scales/speeds for more natural motion
  • Added real-time bump-mapped normals derived from the wave field
  • Added Fresnel-based sky reflection (stronger at shallow angles)
  • Added moving specular sun glint on the water surface
  • Increased wave height slightly (0.05 → 0.08) for more visible motion

☀️ Sunlight

  • Sun glow now shifts color dynamically with time of day (warm orange at dawn/dusk, pale gold-white at noon)
  • Added screen-space god rays / light shafts that stream through gaps in terrain and foliage
  • God rays fade out automatically at night and during rain
  • Added a subtle golden-hour tint across the whole scene near sunrise/sunset

🌫️ Fog

  • Night fog is now patchy and drifting instead of a flat uniform haze (cheap procedural noise, no textures)
  • Added height falloff — fog is denser near eye level, thinner higher up
  • Slightly increased night fog density (0.035 → 0.045) for a moodier look
  • Rain now adds a touch more fog density on top of the day/night base

🍃 Unchanged

  • Leaf waving animation carried over as-is
