  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 เม.ย. 2020
  • Short tutorial, for people who are experienced with Blender- Not for newbies.
    *This water shader should render perfectly fine at a 128 sample+denoise setup. just make sure you have a worthy GPU :)
    ********** If you just want the shader and skip the tutorial-
    blendermarket.com/products/li...
    (i like pizza)
    P.S. - I do in fact do personal tutoring sessions (paid tho) So If yall need help with a project or workflow:

    Hi yall, if you're struggling to follow this tut- here is a longer/in detail one:
    th-cam.com/video/s9RQ83BKcyI/w-d-xo.html
    I've made the Shader available on Blender market for those who want to skip making it- it's $2 (I like pizza) : blendermarket.com/products/lite-water--fake-caustics---shader-an-material-breakdown
    but- I DO HIGHLY recommend that you at least try and make your own shader, get comfortable with Cycles's nodes. practice makes perfect ^-^

It was on my home page, one row down from the top of my recommendations, all the way to the right. The thumbnail looked great and caught my eye. It was definitely the god rays, I'm a sucker for that effect on anything. Hope that helps, feel free to ask any questions, I can give you any specifics you're looking for. :)

    if you want to do an underwater scene without worrying too much about the water using up too much gpu memory, render a water tank as shown here that covers the entire screen as well as having an alpha background. After finishing the underwater ray animation, render the actual scene (ocean floor, fish, submarines) and composite the alpha water tank animation on top of the main scene in your video editor.

    The impressive tutorial showed step by step how to set up lighting.
    However, I believe you should not have skipped over the part you start playing with a solidifying modifier on the ocean to get that "Full" volume of the water presented at the end of the video.
    I have no idea how you set it up and running video at 0,25 speed does not help a lot. I'm interested to see how you managed to hide sticking our parts of the solidified ocean beyond your tank mesh. In my renders, I can see sticking out parts through my ocean sandbed. That part is extremely important for water to look believable.
