I have written a shader (in the new LWRP shader graph) which simulates an ocean with vertices which offset to create a moving "waves" effect.

I believe that in order to have objects "float" on my moving waves, I shall need to create a mesh collider which is a trigger (please correct me if I'm wrong) which updates with the moving vertices of the mesh as per direction from the shader.

How is such an effect possible? Am I taking the correct approach here? Please advise :)

Many thanks in advance!!

(the original model for the water is a plane which has been subdivided multiple times to provide suitable resolution for the vertices to be offset)
