"Hey UE5 dev squad, just implemented optimized raymarching for realistic water reflections and I'm blown away by the results. I'm using a custom shader to calculate the normal map, but I'm struggling with efficiency - anyone got tips on how to squeeze more FPS out of this? Current scene is 3840x2160, around 30ms per frame."

Anyone experienced with opportunities?
"Hey guys, just wanna chime in - I've been experimenting with UE5's raymarching for some water reflections and I had to use a pretty high sampling rate to get decent results. Has anyone else had any issues with performance when trying to optimize this feature?"

Anyone experienced with best practices?
"Dude, have you tried playing around with the 'Max Ray Depth' and 'Max Distance' settings in the Unreal Engine 5's Ray Tracing features? I found they made a huge difference in achieving those smooth water reflections. Anyone else have some sweet tricks up their sleeve?"
