Water shader not working in orthographic camera

[HotBean]

So I have looked around for some low poly water shaders online and have followed a few tutorials to create my own stylized version. I want my water to have the “foam” near the shore, and I got a working version of this in the shadergraph, but the issue is that the tutorials only have a working version for perspective cameras. The shader does not work for orthographic cameras and it would be perfect if there was a way around this in the shadergraph that anyone knows of.

Here is a picture of what i got so far:

This only works in perspective view.

The examples most people have for doing depth comparison effects in Shader Graph assume you’re using a perspective camera view. The same math doesn’t work if you have an orthographic camera view. I posted an example of how to do it for orthographic here:

Fresnel effect does not work with orthographic cameras.

I should also probably clarify my "depth is fine" comment. The way depth comparisons are done in Shader Graph (like as shown in the Brackey's video linked above) won't work with an orthographic camera either. Unity's Scene Depth node also assumes a perspective camera when decoding the depth buffer, which means it'll output the wrong value when using an orthographic camera. Similarly the use of the Position node's Raw "A" won't work because the "A" is always 1.0 in a perspective camera. So inst…

I am having a slight issue with the shader graph you mentioned in that thread. My outcome when I implemented it was a black outline instead of white. Is there a way to add a color to it or fix the issue? Also is there a way to move this post to the other shader graph subforum? I didn’t see it when I made this post.

Throw a OneMinus node on at the end.

You sir, are a legend! I got it working properly now. How do you know all of this stuff? I see you on almost every single post on this forum.
