Man I tried everything, every tutorial, every node, and finally with your method was able to get the bottom of the pool to show the texture.. wow, thank you.. how did you come up with this. genius sir
Holy, this is too good. It is like making really realistic water while having the least amount of computing. I have often tried to create water with varying results but often it used somekind of ocean modifier and then applying it. And caustics that was often just a no as it took even longer to render. Awesome tutorial!
Been using blender for 1.5 years now, and I can honestly say that this tutorial is easy to follow. It amazes me how simple Blender has become over the past 2 (3?) years. Thank you for this tutorial.
Omg how deep and technical this is! However very well explained. Although I couldn't reproduce the exact process and result, I learned a ton from your tutorial. Thanks a lot!
Wow, I can't say enough good things about this incredible guy who's been teaching Blender for free!

It's rare to come across someone who can make complex topics so approachable and enjoyable to learn. His rising talent in the Blender community is evident, and I couldn't hit that subscribe button fast enough. The way he breaks down concepts, demonstrates techniques, and patiently guides viewers through the process is simply top-notch. I've learned so much from him, and each tutorial feels like a journey of creativity and discovery. His passion for Blender and teaching shines through every minute, making the learning experience not only informative but also incredibly fun. I admire his dedication to sharing his knowledge freely, enabling aspiring artists like myself to unlock our creative potential without any barriers. In a world where paid courses often dominate, his commitment to helping others for free is truly commendable. He's creating a positive impact in the Blender community, and I have no doubt that he'll continue to inspire and influence countless individuals in their artistic pursuits. Kudos to this exceptional instructor, and I'm eagerly looking forward to all the amazing content he has in store for the future. If you haven't already subscribed to his channel, I highly recommend doing so - you won't be disappointed! Thank you for being a beacon of inspiration and knowledge in the Blender world!
Finally!! A water with transparency and actual bumpy surface :) I'm only 4 minutes in and you've already solved all the issues I was having. Thanks, and subbed!
After 5 minutes i thought: Man you´re my hero!... Then i saw the timeline: Holy funk! He´s adding more and more and more... Then i completely lost it XD Good thing i can do it step by step thanks to your video :D God bless you man!
I work for a movie company where i get to see the people they look for, and yourself could be an actor, you have a personality on your looks that could work for a lot of things
Good tutorial, just one criticism, it's quite hard to read the nodes even at 1080. It's strange usually 1080 is fine, but not in your case. So I have to keep swapping between full screen and Blender. Otherwise it's a great tutorial, I certainly don't want to demotivate you, just something to maybe fix for next time.
Thank you for this. I did not use your node setup exactly but I ended up with the best material I have ever developed for water. I used just one mapping node and sent the vector to all of the noise nodes, which allows me to animate the water just by animating x,y and z individually in that mapping node. Adding a tiny amount of z animation adds a nice detail, because instead of the wave and caustic patterns just moving horizontally they also change shape.
thank you for the water set-up. ill be using it in a cool animation using a dynamic paint application. ill tag you in the blender group when i post it.
hello, great tutorial. I have a question regarding the light path . when i plug the shadow ray to the Fac of the mix shader, it doesn't show caustics but when i plug the camera ray to the Fac of the mix shader, it does shows caustic. would it be something that has to do with my node setup ?. 19:49
Thank you, great lesson! But I can't understand one thing, mix shader stops working when you connect Shadow ray to it. the material is displayed as normal glass, without caustics. Where did I go wrong?
@@HaydenGray same issue, turns black. changing absorption value doesn't work. hopefully i can make it work without the light path? thanks for the tutorial :)
If you have Blender 3.5 and there is no Mix RGB, you need to press shift A, find color and then mix color. Blender changed the name of this function in 3.5 version
Excellent tutorial. I got a Python error when I tried to add the Texture Coordinate driver expression. Can you explain what might be causing this or point me towards a good reference for driver expressions or workflows? Thanks for sharing great work.
One question, what HDRI do you use in this tutorial? I would like the way the lighting looks and I want to use this same lighting in some of my renders!
Any reason you chose volume absorption as opposed to Principled Volume or absorption + scatter? I found that having the scatter element added light to deep bodies of water so that when you look down, it's blue and not black.
hey hayden, great tutorial, but i do have a question. at (11.11) how were you able to join the two nodes together? i wasnt able to find a way to do it, no matter what i tried.
Thanks! It's the reroute node, I have node wrangler installed so I was able to add it by holding shift and dragging across the connections while holding right-click.
Thanks for explaining that Adaptive Subdivison is an experimental feature and it's turned on in the render tab. I hate tutorials like that. Now where did you plugged in the Height? Thanks for saying "right here". Very useful. Dis.
Thank you! this is really amazing tutorial ever!I have a problem that after render scene there's too much flickering on the ocean surface. Though I've been trying to solve this I couldn't.
Do you know how to do water like jpierce he uses C4D and octane but not blender I wanna get like the emission and ripples surrounding the shoreline or around an object in the water
Thank you, this is a truly awesome tutorial. Any thoughts regarding creating a surfing wave that builds and peels off left or right creating the tube that we surfers cherish?

5:40 if you want to get that viewer node you must install node wrangler in preference and then press ctrl shift left mouse button on voronoi texture
You're a hero, thanks!
when I do the Control shift click Its just replacing the surface on the material output :( I do have node wrangler
@@LukeHomay same. any solution to this?
@@JuxBravo same
@@LukeHomayit basically did the same as the viewer node that OP has. CTRL+Shift+Left click again on the BSDF again to go back to normal.

If you make any more awesome node like this i'll be happy to learn. Thank you for sharing!!
I am very glad that I stumbled upon your video
Very cool, I like the unusual approach with the light paths. Thanks for sharing!
thanks, Thanos, glad you're getting into soft instead of...well...
Excellent tutorial Mr Gray, thanks for this and keep up the good work!
I work for a movie company where i get to see the people they look for, and yourself could be an actor, you have a personality on your looks that could work for a lot of things
Thank you mate, this was exactly what I was looking.
So I went into soft soft and tried to intuitively grasp the basic fundantals. And now listening back I feel like I'm one step ahead of Nice tutorialm.

I really hope the day when tutorials like this will include in description a blend file with the texture will soon come...
TNice tutorials is so fun editing in it I just saw half of your tutorial and couldn't stop PLAYING WITH ITT dont worry I ca bac k after it
such wonderful tutorial. I'm impressed by your skill & charming presentation, TY for sharing, Bests
AMAZING WORK, Hayden, big thanks for sharing this, my Friend!!
Almost fell asleep wNice tutorialle listening to Nice tutorials voice

Very helpful, thank you! Currently working on an island scene and your water looks great.
Thanks a looot! Very helpful, have a beautiful week 😍
Awesome tutorial! Love the explanations you provided for some of the nodes as well!
Glad you like them!
thank you man, ive been using blender for over 10 years and i've never used an arctan2 before. Very informative!
This is really awesome! Glad that youtube got this on my recommended
it's gorgeous. Thank you for sharing
Really great caustics idea!
Keep up the great work!!!, Nice to see another blender creator.
Thank you, great lesson! But I can't understand one thing, mix shader stops working when you connect Shadow ray to it. the material is displayed as normal glass, without caustics. Where did I go wrong?
same thing
Try changing the volume absorption value, that can massively affect the output. Also do make sure you are using Cycles if you aren't already
@@HaydenGray same issue, turns black. changing absorption value doesn't work. hopefully i can make it work without the light path? thanks for the tutorial :)
did u solve it??
same problem
Absolutely genius thank you!
Volumetric water using volume scatter??? Great idea...
We need more tutorial like this
Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you for saving my computer making the water as a shader, and not make me use fluids simulations :)
Thanks dude...It helps alot especially on beginners like
well understood. Thank you you are the best teacher.

How to setup that one?
@@t0biascze644 just use a principled volume instead

Dis.
Thank you so much!!!
can you do a tutorial on how you did the landscape? i’m really interested in that.
Thank you for this dude! Learned a lot in this video, and definitely subscribed now!
If u r using a simulation do not add subdivision, it will crash also thx this works well
1 minute in, I just had to subscribe

amazing tutorial!! thanks so much for sharing with us!would it be possible to use this for a big area? so that it dont lags or so
Just subbed, you are a god.
4:06 adaptive subdivision button isnt there for me, and yes im in cycles (nvm i had to just put experimental in the thing)
Thank you, was searching for this!
Man, thank you this is amazing
I actually have a trouble , when I connect the light path it suddenly turns into a black dark color . Can you help ?!
dang, this is great - thanks for sharing.
version fine? Also are the extra plug-ins worth the extra $100?
great job man!
thank you !!!
It was easy to understand.!!!
