IMPORTANT! in blender 4.0 the material doesn't work tha same😔 , here is the updated video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnuzqHhsmbCaaMU

[@titilim77]

ok sir, thank you so much

[@issac7787]

Thank you Chuck !

[@chuckcg]

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I'm using cycles for rendering, Also if transparency doesn't work, check if you don't have flipped normals in the cube.

[@Gadubadish]

didn't flip normals so was useful

[@user-pc9hi7un8k]

我就是卡在这，提醒的太棒了

[@cinemanate5310]

Thanks man. That was exactly what I was doing wrong! Works perfectly now.

[@davidswanson5669]

If you just create a cube and use it as your water, why would anyone have flipped normals?

[@macronomicus]

@@davidswanson5669 on a fresh cube, if you scale the cube in edit mode on z-axis, it will flip the normals inward when/if mouse position goes negative X value, try it, you can visualize the normals with the overlays panel. When scaling on z axis you drag mouse up/down for scale but at same time drag left if you want normals inside & drag mouse right if you want normals facing outside, sometimes you want one or the other, its just a convenience really. New users may not know thats a thing & end up getting their normals reversed on accident.

[@vjmachaa]

One of the best tutorials that I came across for realistic water in blender. Thank you Chuck!

[@chuckcg]

Thanks!

[@ocelotarmory]

Absolutely the best.

[@YinSol]

This is absolutely best tutorial for water in blender I ever saw. Quik and clear, no unnecessary information just what all we need. Thank you!!!

[@heckensteiner4713]

I love tutorials like this! Fast and simple and something that would take me hours to figure out on my own (with much worse results). Thank you!

[@chuckcg]

Glad you like it!

[@louisdavis1370]

concise and clear. great work and thank you

[@chuckcg]

Thanks! glad it was helpful.

[@thebestalcachofaninguno3342]

Thank you! I only seemed to find these rushed 1-minute tutorials, but this one was really clear!

[@MrZombiePhil]

This is a really cool method. Cant wait to try it out!

[@doit9times]

best tut ever for smth slightly complicated! thank u for being clear and making it easy!!!

[@pardismack]

For Eevee: - In the Material shelf>Settings, set Blend Mode to Alpha Blend and Shadow mode to Alpha Clip - In the Render shelf, enable Screen Space Reflections>Refraction

[@Commander_Appo]

This was really helpful! I'm using this to get some good looking water for an art fight attack rn, and this combine with some other stuff makes a great apocalyptic feel

[@red4666]

quick and concise. i really appreciate that bro.

[@TheModularian]

BRO Everything you do is like fucking gold. I love it. Thank you so much for sharing such high quality content without lacing absolutely everything behind paywalls or unnecessary filler. You are a treasure.

[@chuckcg]

Thank you, glad found this content useful!

[@WinterFroots]

Muchas gracias, thank you so much for the clarity of the tutorial!

[@Kommentiert_]

Simple! Concise! Perfect!

[@chillegaming1837]

Very cool ! That looks very appealing !

[@eduardogonzalez7752]

well done bro, you saved me with those nodes! Ty very much!

[@TJAnimates]

This is an amazing water shader!

[@christophschmitt4600]

Adding some great renderings to the videos would definitely increase the value and show the work you have put into it. The real time renderings from blender are looking awesome!

[@oiko2k4]

I agree! I was waiting for the results in the end but we said our goodbyes with the creator and left it there.

[@RylinthAnderfel]

Gorgeous! Awesome tutorial

[@Dantyx1]

[@nv7287]

Just beautiful!

[@Hassaan02]

very helpful tutorial

[@TruthSurge]

thx. This works perfectly. Just adjust scale if you have closeups or small scenes, smaller scale etc. And clarity or murky by setting absorption density and color. Nice!

[@B2UTYSpiritsManiac07]

thank you !! this is so helpful for newbie like me !!

[@cyberbae.studios]

I watched another tutorial for this but yours is WAYYYYYYYYYYYY better and bettet explained. Thank you so much.

[@eirik_png]

This looks really good, thanks for the tutorial!

[@chuckcg]

You're welcome, glad you like it!

[@ruslandad365]

Amazing Tutorial Thanks!!!

[@Jonah_Anthony]

Ty bro. Awesome tutorial 🤝

[@timotheesadowski8967]

Thank you it's really nice! I added a gradient with a color-ramp to the density of the volume absorption, that allows more control and makes sure you never see through the water. ( make sure the gradient is vertical of course ;) )

[@chuckcg]

In fact, absorption works like a gradient, absorbs some light and gives that gradient effect of the water, so no need to add a new gradient, because absorption looks better.

[@timotheesadowski8967]

@@chuckcg ah thanks for the info. I put the gradient on the density slot. So basically I can have the water to be clear until a certain point and then become darker again. But if it's useless I'll remove it ^^

[@Mart-E12]

I don't think that's a bad idea at all, similar to how you can control fog height with volume scatter

[@jensworld779]

Thank you so much! My water always looked dull and not clear. You helped me a lot! 🥰

[@grunt22]
