Hi,
We currently support shadow mapping, however plenty of work can be done on
it to improve it. Frank would know more about that though.
As for water/ocean shaders, we currently have a good water shader for rivers
and such, so that's not a big priority.
Our support for oceans exists (see watertest2), however there's very
incomplete LOD there and the pixel/fragment shader could use a fair bit of
work too, so that could make a good project.
