I've just released a new update to my Godot 4.6 Dynamic Water Ripples asset and wanted to share it with the community.

The shader is designed to create interactive water surfaces with features like:

• Dynamic ripple simulation
• Interactive splash effects
• Underwater tinting
• Surface distortion/refraction
• Animated bubbles
• Easy customization for different water styles

It's intended for lakes, rivers, pools, and other water surfaces in 3D projects.

I'd love to hear any feedback or suggestions for features that would make it more useful for your own projects.
