my problem is that every tutorial video/blog is about Standard Assets/Water, but since Unity 2018 the Standard Assets has been removed from Unity.
You can freely download the old Standard Assets via the Asset Store:
» https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/essentials/asset-packs/standard-assets-32351
There are also third-party water assets, such as AQUAS Water/River Set or SUIMONO Water System - which provide better quality and functionality.
If I download the Standard Assets from the Asset Store, it gives me hundreds of errors.
What version of Unity are you using?
2019.1.4f1
Yes, there are errors but you don’t need to download the whole of it; just check the water parts you are looking for. Make sure you do not overlook something.
In the Import list, click on “None” at the bottom so that nothing is selected, then scroll down to Environment and select “Water” and import them. You won’t get error messages.
Ok, thank you, it’s working!
Holy crap Unity… get it together.
