Triton Ocean SDK™ 可以快速且無限地呈現在任何風速或海浪情況下的海洋效果。利用 GPGPU 技術，適應系統中任何現代視覺模擬系統，Triton 提供傳送高幀頻逼真的水紋。
Triton Ocean 軟體開發包，能為模擬，訓練和電子遊戲應用帶來逼真的海洋。Kane 說：「SilverLining 的成功離不開 3D 引擎，性能和擴展性的整合，現在這些性能同樣能用於製作出逼真的海洋場景。Triton 只要獲取風況或 Beaufort 信號狀態，就能自動製作出 3D 動畫海洋場景，浪的高度和動勢也都相匹配。使用 Fast Fourier Transform 技術的逆效果，就能同時模擬上千種波浪，如果利用最新的消費者圖形技術，同樣能做出這種效果，而且速度更快。讓 Triton 與眾不同的是它的速度。」

它能夠適應你所用的系統，從而利用並行處理能力這個優勢，不管它是通用的 GPU 計算技術，如 CUDA, DirectX11 Compute Shaders,和 OpenCL，還是多核處理器。在現代系統上每秒有上百個框架同時運行，從而構成了高度複雜的海洋場景。Triton 還可以和 whole-Earth (地心模擬系統) 一起使用，與基於 C++ Windows 的使用 OpenGL, DirectX9,或 DirectX11 構建的 3D 引擎相兼容。目前開發者可查看流行的 OpenSceneGraph 和 Ogre 3D 引擎的樣本代碼。

特色

►Ship wakes in a single pass
Triton for Unity includes a WakeGenerator script that may be attached to any object in your scene. With this script, your object will generate Kelvin wakes that displace the ocean surface, propeller backwash effects behind the object, and particle-based bow spray effects – all automatically, and in the same pass as the rest of the ocean. You may attach as many WakeGenerators in a scene as you wish – Triton will automatically prioritize the ones closest to the camera for you.

►Volumetric decal support
Applying decal textures to dynamic surfaces such as Triton’s water is hard, but we make it easy for you. Triton includes a decal GameObject that can be used to apply any texture to the water at any position, and the decal will move with the waves. This can be used for things like floating kelp, debris, oil slicks, films – or whatever you can dream up.

►Rotor wash and impact effecrs
Easy-to-use RotorWash and Impact scripts may be attached to any object to generate particle-based spray and real 3D wave displacements and foam from helicopter rotors or from objects hitting the water. This is a real simulation, taking into account things like the velocity, mass, and direction of impactors, and the size and wind speed of the rotors.

►Smooth shirelines
Triton for Unity can automatically create a height map from your scene, used to smoothly blend the water with your terrain at the coastline. This same height information is used to restrict Triton’s water to areas at or below the sea level you define, and also produces breaking wave effects if your terrain realistically extends below the sea. Please note this feature is currently only available on Windows – on MacOS we offer instead a depth offset parameter that may be used to prevent depth fighting at coastlines.

►Buoyancy and collision detection
Triton’s Unity scripts include methods for collision detection along a given ray, or for finding the collision point nearest a given point. Your own scripts may use the points and surface normals returned to accurately place floating objects on Triton’s water. Triton’s included buoyancy model uses this same information to help manage the motion of ships and other floating objects in your scene.
