Some background on how I'm rendering the water line, because it's almost arcane 🪄 #unity3d

The key goal is figuring out if a certain pixel on the screen is above, or below water. This in turn can be used to apply effects to a specific part of the screen. Image I've tried a bunch of different things, none worked reliably, or were prohibitively expensive. Witcher 3 has this, so technically was possible! What ended up working flawlessly is rendering a subdivided plane directly on the camera's plane, then animating it.
