Hyper Realistic Water is this EASY in 3D Graphics

[@a.j.outlaster1222]

I love the pause in "Delete the default cube..." I don't know why it's such a tradition, But its humor has grown on me! 😂

[@fuldxx]

for me (i have used blender for 3 years) i always delete one even if i need to create one, cuz for me the cube that is already at start is just feels old and weird, and when you creating the brand new it feels way more better, idk how but it does

[@a.j.outlaster1222]

@@fuldxx Lol, I think the tutorials condition us, Which is fine. Who wants a decades old cube anyways? 😂

[@yahootube90]

In all seriousness, I've found that when trying to do things with the default cube, sometimes it wouldn't behave properly. Like when I'd go to do a subdiv modifier or something it would only affect the top instead of the whole cube. So I'd end up deleting it and making a new one anyway.

[@FunTimesWithTath]

"Delete the default cube, and add a cube" is starting to feel like a meme with how often I hear it anymore lol

[@Charduza]

Water is honestly something I still need to learn so thankyou for this tutorial

[@WaterShowsProd]

Mixing the two volumetrics is the ice-ing on the cake. I'll go drown myself now.

You must follow the 12 principles of Blender: 1: Delete the default cube 2: Delete the default cube 3: Delete the default cube 4: Delete the default cube 5: Delete the default cube 6: Delete the default cube 7: Delete the default cube 8: Delete the default cube 9: Delete the default cube 10: Delete the default cube 11: Delete the default cube 12: Delete the default cube You violate one of or all 12 those. You pay for your sin.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!?

[@blackwidow82]

For me I've made a custom empty scene with no cube , light or camera and set my default render to cycles 🙂

[@OfficialAEPBR]

truly a cube moment

I dinn't expect this too look good, but man i'm suprised that how realstic this looks.

[@jetdude2277]

"This water had too many kids in it" hilarious. Great tutorial btw

[@molugusatyapriya2]

Wonderful! Your tutorial makes creating incredibly lifelike 3D water appear surprisingly simple.

[@patrickbusche5665]

Great to see one new tutorial of you, thank you very much, I began with blender with one of your step by step videos, trees, Stones, creating your own textures....👍 Altough I didnt understand every step and node, I improved by imitating....

[@SubatomicPlanets]

Sometimes I feel sorry for that poor default cube...

Hello CG Geek, i'm very interesting by this tutorial. Thanks for your Time..

[@legacylee]

Hey Steve, long time no see bud... good to see you're still at it! I need to blow the dust of of Blender and play around a bit. Looks like I'm trying something new!

[@CGGeek]

Go for it!

[@marcreep]

He started looking like he's spending a lot of time outside :P

[@AllExistence]

No, you can change driver after creating it. And even then you could press "edit driver" button.

[@SomewhatAbnormal]

This is fantastic! Fast, but fantastic!

[@AlexGulinov]

Cool! Thanks!

[@CGGeek]

Welcome!

[@hvanmegen]

the caustics are quite harsh in contrast... can those be softened with some kind of filtering? ... also, is that caustics light data HDR compatible or is it clipped pixel data?

[@Adiko]

both the color ramp node, and wave texture node in caustic's shader tree can be tweaked for softer look

[@PolyRocketMatt]

Maybe a hyper realistic simulated proxy of water is easy, but what about depth, underground reflection, sun glint reflection, whitecaps, detailed ocean motion, interaction with marine fauna and flora, etc? To simulate all that is not as easy ;)

[@twicey555]

Thx really helful tutorial 😊

[@midnightcoffee6463]

This is such a cool technique! :O I wonder if the methods would be similar if you wanted to do something Fantastical, like a Water Golem or something? Would the caustics still apply?

[@ajukoshy1724]

amazing

[@FoxofAllTrades]

if yours is like mine and doesnt have as many crest reflections (tiny tiny ones and few large realistic ones) you need to subdivide the cube more

[@Bsbsbss6192]

Make some tutorials with eevee next

[@pascalcapelle29]

Superbe tuto merci

[@segueoffical]

It's funny how you did stopped talking after deleting the cube xD

[@moeburhanimeez7354]

Water.... Water.... NO NOT THAT MUCH WATER!

[@sreliata]

Easy you say? I'm waiting for this to be done for eevee! If anyone can manage THAT, - well, that would be a feat. With cycles, most things are easy. And since I'm a eevee user, I am jealous now ._. I do love the tutorial though; and the way you explained things. Super well done! ^o^

[@AndromedaGT]

h2o moment

[@bad424]

You can change the driver without deleting it 🤨, you can either right click then press edit driver or directly left click it and add the /24 after 'frame'

[@CGGeek]

Gotcha, this was initially confusing as just deleting and re-entering the values didn't make any changes. So just to avoid confusion for beginners is why I recommend deleting and re-entering the driver.

[@AdamJensenReal]

Thank you, great video as always :) btw the caustics need improvement everything else is so good :)

[@DanielUpsidedownhouse]

cool

[@nerkTV]

you can edit drivers...don't have to delete it

[@michaelchikwiriro3136]

The Cube 😂

[@YounesSS-p8v]

i think the caustics would look better with voronoi texture instead, might try it and see how it goes. thanks a lot for the tips!!

[@monish05m]

fantastic water, do you know how to make foam for that water?

[@ahmedafifi1464]

i swear if i ever rais a son that uses the defoult cube

[@MichaelSmith-on1ig]

First, I wanted to complain about the “hyper” in the title. Now I know what you mean.

[@Boondog-hv4wy]

I made it, although had a lot of issues with noise with the Cycles engine. Followed the instructions exactly but had to go to preferences to change some stuff to get the water to be clear. I got it fixed using the denoise option too, but it is still not quite right. A bit flickery in places after adding the caustics in. My GPU is pretty decent so I'm just not sure what I'm doing wrong :S

[@Chris-ri1ob]

Can you show pipe flow motion through moving parts like a valve, because there is no video on the internet which explains this kind of animation

[@gekfurian]

The wave texture for the caustics doesn't fit very well. Maybe a turbulent noise would be better?

[@Philupix]

It takes 6 minutes to render one frame for me and my pc isn’t even that bad 💀

[@thetego]

Well creating realistic water simulations are one of the hardest thing to make in 3D graphics :) I think you don't know what's happening behind that simplified tools in softwares like Blender.

[@blenderbeachwavesblend]

Certainly in the current versions, there was a short video which showed a nice effect being created, but no tutorial for it.

[@o1ecypher]

is it possible to add a small fish in the cube that swims and bounces off the walls? or a snow ball that can be shaken?

[@X3D.x]

[@add-nm3rt]

[@kipchickensout]

i asked chatgpt if it could help me with something, the idea was based off a cube. the first two steps chatgpt told me was to delete the default cube and add a new cube mesh

[@SkyroPlasm]

sweet

[@appius7]

Can you add physics to this?

[@theforest8882]

finally nothing behind a stupid paywall

[@kuzeyrl]

good video

[@o1ecypher]

i start off every morning by deleting the default cube, and then go about my day as if nothing ever happened. and what ever happend to sharing the blend file with us. i was having so much fun before. please

[@GES1985]

Show me a realistic minecraft-like water for a voxel planet, and we will talk

[@tanvirrahman6220]

what would be the way if I wanted to add wave foam to it like we can do with just ocean modifier plane?

[@L2lilboy]

I downloaded the lakeside pic and chose 4K My pc exploded😭

[@eitantal726]

didn't like the caustics pattern on the bottom

[@patrickkayser]

the ocean modifier is hopelessly obsolete and complicated to use. i really hope someone figures out how to do fast fourier transforms in geonodes in the near future, which is reuqired for the water noise (tessendorf waves). a shader version of the water would be very nice aswell for background scenes.

[@terryd8692]

It looks good but the underwater refraction pattern looks wrong

[@JISON_df]

[@Stock-Motion]

I was gonna leave a comment, but i didn't want to dampen the mood... You sea what I did there?

[@blenderinc.4402]

The caustics dont look that good, there are other tutorials on how to make the fake caustics look better. Good video

[@s.patterson5698]

You can substitute the Voroni texture and make the scale smaller along with pulling the white of the color ramp towards the black. Then add a mapping and use the Translation boxes to insert the drivers for caustic movement.

[@phongraid202]

6:43 i don't have "Bem Spread" line (ver 4.1)

[@mastjappa]

The caustics are not working for me. It could use a lot of attention in that regard.

[@PrivacyPleaze]

voronoi texture works much better for caustics in my opinion

[@anthonyzdavis]

Upon resizing the water/light group in my pool model using the approach shown at 9:47, I couldn't help but notice the waves of the fake caustics also become huge. Maybe the way I resized the water/light group was incorrect compared to the video? 'Cause I also noticed my cube didn't seem to shrink much height-wise compared to yours. You pressed *S+Shift+Z* , am I correct? Or maybe there is a step *after* the resizing that is not shown in the video, and that I should do myself?

[@CGGeek]

Yep S+Shift+Z to scale it wider in both dimensions but not taller. Its possible you got your scale a little different at some point, but just adjusting the wave texture scale on the Area lamp is easy to match it to your ocean modifier and pool scale. (in your case.)

[@anthonyzdavis]

@@CGGeek I see 🤔 I'll try again and see how it goes. Thanks!

[@JokaPlayz]

And the most important question is: Can I import it to game engines?

[@gameDev_Pat]

Did anyone tried using this in game engine? Wondering how the performance would be.

[@AllExistence]

Even water must have a shadow.

[@CGGeek]

it does have a shadow once we add volume to it. Keep watching :)

[@AllExistence]

@@CGGeek I mean your don't have to completely delete surface shadows. Just subtracting a little from the camera ray before putting into alpha can control transparency of the shadow.

[@onjofilms]

GPU Compute does not work for us computer users who do not have a GPU. (ie Mac M1)

[@kushangshah-be7hn]

I follow along your tutorial, and it didn't work. think got weird after adding light area.

[@denischen8196]

The game engine doesn't support ray tracing or caustics and it should be able to run on hardware with only 32 Mb of RAM. How do I make water textures under these constraints?
