+### Under the surface
+
+Swimming down is a different optical world, and the engine renders it as one:
+
+- **Light shafts** hang in the water column toward the sun — `underwater.rays`
+  (`true` by default, a number sets the strength, `false` turns them off). The
+  composite marches each view ray and, at every step, walks UP the sun direction
+  to the surface: the pattern sampled there is what that beam carries down, so
+  shafts converge with depth and shimmer with the same surface that makes the
+  caustics. They need DEPTH to read — a knee-deep pool has no column to light.
+- **Caustics** light what those beams land on (`underwater.caustics`).
+- **Snell's window**: light can only leave into the air inside a ~48.6° cone,
+  so from below the surface is a bright disc of sky ringed by a mirror of the
+  water you are in. That image is what everyone recognises as "underwater", and
+  the surface shader draws it whenever the camera eye is submerged.

+
+### What water COSTS, and every dial that lowers it
+
+Fancy water is not one draw — it is extra SCENE RENDERS, and each one
+re-submits the world. Measured on the lake template (1600×900, one Water3D
+with grass, trees and a mirror):
+
+| pass | when | size | scene submissions |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| refraction/depth grab | `quality: 'fancy'` | ½ buffer, ≤1024 | 2 (colour + depth completion) |
+| planar mirror | `mirror: true` | ⅓ buffer, ≤640 | 1, throttled by `mirrorInterval` |
+| cube reflection | `reflection: true` | 256² × 6 faces | 6, every `reflectionInterval` ms (≥2 s while `mirror` is on — it is only the off-screen fallback then) |
+| the surface itself | always | — | a ~1.5 quads/m grid, capped 160² |
+
+Grass, flowers, particles and trails are dropped from the side passes: they are
+most of a meadow's triangles and none of what anyone reads in a reflection or a
+depth mask.
+
+**The dials, cheapest first.** Each is a normal prop, so a scene can trade look
+for frames per water body:
+
+| dial | effect |
+|---|---|
+| `quality: 'simple'` | ZERO extra passes — sine waves, fresnel sky tint, edge fade. The low-end/mobile answer |
+| `mirror: false` | −1 scene render (the default) |
+| `mirrorInterval` | ms between mirror re-renders (default 33 ≈ 30 Hz — halves the pass; 100 is still convincing on rippled water) |
+| `reflection: false` | −6 cube faces; the surface falls back to its colour ramp |
+| `reflectionInterval` | ms between cube refreshes (default 1000) |
+| `refraction: false` | the grab colour is ignored (depth still drives absorption/foam) |
+| `foam: false` | drops the shoreline foam work |
+| `interaction: false` | stops the per-frame body scan |
+
+Two more, outside water: `createGame3D({ pixelRatio: 1.5 })` — a retina display
+renders **4× the pixels**, and water is fragment-heavy, so capping the ratio is
+usually the single biggest win on a Mac; and `environment.bloom`, which adds a
+full-resolution HDR pass of its own.
+
+If a scene feels heavy, measure before guessing — the browser console has the
+whole story:
+
+```js
+const gl = game.renderer.webgl;
+gl.info.autoReset = false; gl.info.reset();
+requestAnimationFrame(() => console.log(gl.info.render)); // calls + triangles for ONE frame
+```

+Float on water. Hangs on a `RigidBody3D` and asks the water how high it is at
+each of the hull's sample points — the CPU twin of the surface the player is
+actually looking at, waves included — then pushes up by how deep each point
+sits, damped by how fast it is already rising. Archimedes plus drag, which is
+all a raft, a buoy, a crate or a body needs to bob, settle and ride the swell.

+
+`drift` is the part players notice: a wave face is a slope, and a floating
+thing slides down it, so a raft left alone wanders with the swell instead of
+bobbing on the spot. The lift is capped at a few g — water pushes back, it
+never launches a body that has been dragged deep.
+
+For the water's own height anywhere (jetties, spawn heights, an AI deciding
+where the shore is), `Water3D.heightAt(x, z)` answers the same surface.
