Reflections not seamless

Question

Hello. I already asked this question once, but unfortunately no one could / wanted to answer, so I'll give it another try, because I really have no idea how to solve this, as a game programming beginner.

As you can see in the picture below, I have made tiles of water. They are supposed to look seamless. However, while the vertices are perfectly seamless, the reflections are not. It seems like there is some kind of "offset" :

I have no idea what this could be due to. I knew very little about shaders, reflections, etc. The normals of my water meshes are computed using Mesh.RecalculateNormals().

Here is the standard shader I used, based on a simple uniform color material :

Any clue ? Thanks ! :)

Looks like you did not unify the vertex normals at the seam. The vertex normals of the duplicated vertices need to be identical. If you generate each section independently you need a way to produce the exact same normals for the seam. Keep in mind that where 4 seconds meet you have 4 vertices which need to be identical (the corner vertex of each section).
