Making an animated toon water shader for Eevee | Blender 2.8 Tutorial

[@The_JCM]

Never thought I'd one day watch a Blender tutorial with some random philosophy mini-lesson attached to it haha, I dig it

[@adamcampbell9806]

This was an amazing tutorial, wasn't expecting the life lesson at the end and also was not expecting it to be so poignant to my life right now. Thank you for this video I would definitely be interested in music tutorials as well.

[@Rums-AN]

I would love to see more tutorial about this project, thanks for making it easy to learn!!

[@jorgerosas1094]

Man! You just.. you are incredible person with a great project, it's not just a good tutorial because I am precisely doing a videoclip in Blender for my own piano-synth music, and sometimes thinking about who hell combine these 2 passions, ooh and then I find you. Man you are incredible!

[@3Dpolygon]

Oh man, this was incredible! Especially since cycles is a no go for me at the moment when making a larger scale ocean. This water looks pretty realistic. Thank you for this tutorial. Your videos are amazing. Keep making more!. I also subbed!

[@SketchesForHumanity]

Thank you very much! I'll keep going with these videos, that's for sure :)

[@DISCOTEKED]

i'm in 12:39 thank you so much for explaining so well the whys behind - big follower from now, using this tutorial to build my next dj live set

Excellent I love the way you explain things . Great tutorial indeed

[@Harsh-se1gx]

Awesome man , that was amazing I don't know what to say . Waiting for more such tutorials.

[@mksharma6914]

More than a software tutorial I appreciate the deep thought and your explanation that you give in the end .. I have seen your tutorials and love the insight you have that you explain after that software part. It is very close to my heart the views you have towards the enlightened transcendent feelings that you express. this takes it one level above. thanks

[@AukePoelman1]

I sure did enjoy this moment as it is. Thanks for the tut, really good vibe on these video's. Earned my sub!

I would love to see more on this tuitorial , and please make a tutorial on music too

[@eugeniaso5626]

First time commenting on any youtube video... Amazing tutorial and my favorite part of your video is the thought tinkering part. Looking forward for your next video!

[@srinanda3886]

For ripples, parent the empty to the fish(or any object). And move the empty in z axis until the end point of the empty just touches the top of your fish. This will save adding a lot of key frames.

[@lightmanleaf3761]

Hi, I am new to blender. Would you please further elaborate the step" And move the empty in z axis until the end point of the empty just touches the top of your fish". If possible, with screen capture. Thank you.

Just brilliant! Thoroughly enjoyable and a great technique. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and thoughts. A great combination. THANK YOU! Dg

[@polystation5744]

Very enjoyable and thanks for sharing your thoughts at the end. It was rly a nice combination

[@thomandy]

I'm curious, now that I have made this. Is it hard to just add rain to this scene and make the ocean a canvas? I havent tested it yet cause I dont know how to do it, just know of the concept. But I have seen people do it on flat surfaces, and wanted to make something similar with this but perhaps it's hard to make it look good?! Not sure.

Hi, Thank you for this, I really like how you explain things. Its a great tutorial by the way I subscribed!

[@mavi7003]

How to make the fish go following the circle like this? at 13:53

[@SketchesForHumanity]

To make the fish follow the curve I just aligned the origins of the objects to be in the same position, and added a curve modifier to the fish. Then you just need to choose the correct axis for the deformation, and move (animate) the fish object along that axis.

[@mavi7003]

@@SketchesForHumanity tks you. I hope you will post more videos 3D.

[@mavi7003]

i did it tks you so much. but when i finished a fish and i want to copy the fish and ripples maybe all effect of this. How i can do that?. I tried to copy it but it not working

[@Art_N_Design]

It's realistic and I learn new thing. thanks you.

[@digitadigita3578]

Thanks for the tutorial. Can you make a river with this ocean modifier?

[@mattfrank7]

Great tutorial, any advice on how I would go about making the water also semi-transparent? mixing the water shader with a transparent bsdf works but then I lose the reflections on the surface

[@SketchesForHumanity]

If you just bring down the alpha value in the principled bsdf, and set the blend mode of the material to "alpha hashed", you should be able to retain the reflections while making the material partly transparent. You might need to increase the render samples, though, because the hashed alpha takes more samples to clear up.

[@rugged980]

Thanks very much for this powerful tutorial. You may not know how you have assisted me with this tutorial. Please how can I animated the V shape wave from a moving speed boat?

[@nberrebn]

Quick comment about the color being as bright as possible. The slider stops at 1, but you can manually go as high as 2.

[@vfxmaking7437]

WOW AMAZING TUTORIAL

[@wilsonluzitu86]

Amaizing work you've really helped me out. I was asking on how you placed the fish in the water n how to make the curve since in new to blender. Thanks

[@SketchesForHumanity]

Thanks! For the fish animation I just modeled a simple fish, and added a curve modifier for it. Then by animating the location of the fish on the correct axis it deforms with that curve. Make sure to have the origing points of both the fish and the curve in the same place. Hope this helps get you started!

[@blendergamedevelopment1030]

Looks awesome! Have a good day :)

[@man_art_man]

Well, thanks a lot especially for the Tikering ! Hope you will made your Ring soon as a buatuful composition where Music imacting your Animation lively and organic ... you know what I mean =)) Waiting for your another tutorial so much !

Yup, use it all the time :) I just try to stick to vanilla Blender whenever I can for the tutorials, to keep it simpler.

[@kevinbose23]

Love your videos😘

[@Ksyusha5]

Good afternoon. Is it possible to make an underwater scene with caustics, with pipes of light passing through the water in the eevee engine? I ask you to show to the end how the splashes appear from the fall of the boat and how the boat moves through the waves. thanks

[@asutoshmishra9024]

please complete it.... where is the next part ...i loved it ....how to make the boat and music ,plz complete the tutorial

Would it be possible to create multiple ripples? If so, how would I do that? Thank you so much for the great explanation btw :) It works perfectly!

[@sunildas6414]

Nice bro 🤘

[@TerenceKearns]

I just did a short animation loop in blender and made a music loop to go with it. I think it would be nice if you could fuse the two things together.

[@SagarGaud1]

What if you want to add more than one ripple? just duplicate the whole upper group and mix it or is there some other method?

[@HaoChen-i2k]

awesome

[@xiaoduoniu9256]

You can upload a teaching video with a fixed animated background:D, i change the color of the entire scene after I change the camera to other options.

[@panglima]

'save to watch later' I've been meaning to learn blender all this time now but I can never get myself to start my own assignment. Any tips?

[@SketchesForHumanity]

It's easy to get overwhelmed by the complexity, for sure! I'd say one important thing is to not go for too ambitious projects at first. Start really simple, and concentrate on one specific thing. Model a simple mug. Render a red, metallic suzanne. Animate a ball bouncing up and down. That sort of thing, until you start to have a basic understanding of modeling/animation/rendering/etc. Of course it's always better if you can come up with a somewhat simple idea that's actually interesting to you. Is it sculpting something you own? Making a meme for reddit? Christmas card for relatives? If you manage to get excited about some small project like that, you'll have the drive to go through it! And after you get a hang of the basic things, you'll surely already have a lot of ideas for more complex stuff you can start to make :)

[@Nkanyiso_K]

Great philosophy

[@skyworker9813]

Thank you so much...

[@lazylizarts]

what is the computer configuration that you are working on my computer just over heats while rendering and shuts down , its very time consuming process of rendering

[@SketchesForHumanity]

Yeah, I do have a powerful pc (i7 9700k, gtx2080s etc.). That being said there's a lot of room for optimization in this scene, without affecting the visual look too much. Lowering the ocean resolution, lowering the detail level of the noise textures, lowering the shadow resolution.. have you played around with those?

[@lazylizarts]

@@SketchesForHumanity i will try ,btw thanks for this nice video

[@bandilesikwane4967]

I’ve been thinking about this too shall pass. I came back to this. Say music composition tut would be great. I’m using this ocean scene for my project. I hope you don’t mind.

[@Mrstupes]

Would this work in Cycles?

[@SketchesForHumanity]

Yeah, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work in Cycles, too :) Haven't tested it, though.

Im starting into 3d modeling and this video was really useful, I've been struggling with water and I'm gonna try to use that ripple effect to make the waterfalls ripples, any recommendation for it? still , thank you so much for the video 💜💜

[@SketchesForHumanity]

Thanks! You could certainly use these ripple techniques in a waterfall also. Maybe strecth the noise texture in the z direction and drive it downwards, while also driving the w value (in the 4d noise tex)? You could model a "static" waterfall and add life to it with a displacement modifier + an animated texture, then add the final touch with these surface ripples. I'm sure you'll make a great looking waterfall :)

[@NaChO25599]

@@SketchesForHumanity oh wow thanks, I have to understand what you meant because idont really control that much the program, you mean yo model the "physical" form of the waterfall and then add the textures and some displacement over it?

[@RamaDhankita]

thanks, very nice..

[@sylviabambi6581]

my viewport is violet or pink when I had put the color ramp. Can somebody help plz.

[@SketchesForHumanity]

Pink is usually a sign of a missing texture, have you accidentally put an image texture node in the setup? If you want to send me the file/setup, you can do that on my Discord server: discord.gg/eadx5UdQ

[@sylviabambi6581]

I don’t think I have put an image texture node but I’ll send you the file on discord

nice

[@भाऊसाहेबआरोटे]

I want to see how that boat is floating with waves

[@SketchesForHumanity]

I kinda cheated on that, just added some random noise on the xyz rotation axis', and then animated the z location by hand so that it somewhat follows the depth of the waves vertically. But it looks nice enough, so that's what matters :)
