Could you build this?
Partial Porting complex HLSL/ShaderLab water shaders and mesh collision interactions for VRChat worlds requires deep graphics shader programming and VRChat/Unity engine expertise.
What it would actually take: Requires Unity ShaderLab, HLSL/Cg, depth buffer sampling, screen-space reflections, foam generation, and custom physics/mesh interactions compatible with VRChat's Udon/SDK3 environment. The primary challenge is optimizing complex water optics and planar reflections to run smoothly on constrained VR hardware like the Quest.
