Water Global
The Water Global samples demonstrate how to control Global Water via API:
Buoyancy sample shows how to control the current state of Global Water via changing Beaufort levels (the Beaufort slider). It also demonstrates the use of fetching of the water level at a certain point for simplified simulation of buoyancy without engaging Physics.

Custom Wave sample shows how to control the wave spectrum of Global Water in Manual mode via API by changing the number of octaves, number of waves per octave, and various other parameters for random waves generation, such as wave length, amplitude, phase offset, and steepness (can be used, for example, to process Weather Control packets from IOS in a simulator application).

Fetch Intersection sample demonstrates the influence of the Steepness Quality, Amplitude Threshold, and Precision parameters on the accuracy of fetch and intersection requests for the Global Water object at various Beaufort levels.

Physical Buoyancy sample shows how to simulate water buoyancy for physical bodies to make them float in Global Water.

Simple Boat sample demonstrates how to simulate ship wake foam via Orthographic Decals and Particle Systems, that are spawned behind the boat and project foam onto the water surface. You can control sea state via the Beaufort slider (from 0 - calm to 8 - huge waves).
