Simple Toon Shaded Water in Blender [Eevee]

[@doodles3114]

For those Struggling in blender 4.1, the Musgrave texture has been merged into the Noise Texture node, the correct parameters are: 3D fBM Unchecked Normalize Scale: 0.1 Detail: 0.03 Roughness: 1 - 0 Lacunarity: 2 Distortion: 0

this is insane, i just searching on yt how to make anime water blender, and then i got this tutorial, so simple, fast and easy to learn , thanks for making this .

I swear, all your tutorials are great and beginner friendly. I can't wait for you to get more recognition🔥

Have never even touched Blender but this makes me wanna give it a go, looks ace

[@therealblenderbox]

You should, it's lots of fun!

[@SkazoodleMedia]

Nice! It didn't work out how yours looks - instead I messed up some settings and created a water texture similar to Sonic Adventures from the Sega Dreamcast... Thankyou for the creative direction!

[@nuggy9597]

If others are getting a grainy transparency, go to the material options, under Settings > Surface, change the 'render method' to 'blended' instead of 'dithered'

[@anicepop]

This is so cool! I love it, thank you!

[@therealblenderbox]

Glad you like it!

in blender 3.5 the "blend mode" and the "shadow mode" at 2:25 are not in the settings of the material but in Viewport Display -> Settings. I couldn't find it in the first time so, if it can help

Thats a smart way to make Toon Water !

[@Evadson]

I'm not getting the wobble effect at 2:05. I can make the water move, but it won't wobble no matter what I do.

[@anilrai1299]

I used 2 noise texture node one after another and played around with scale value and details. It worked !

Question, is there a way to make it interactable with objects? Like to make ripples around an object that enters said water?

[@OrangeJani]

[@RayBanda]

Probably with geo nodes and proximity, but im still too dumb to figure it out.

[@SlothFang]

Vertex groups and planes for each object to follow the waves then just location frame set for where you want the objects to start and end at.

[@ausclaw]

amazing tutorial! thank you so much for this!

[@jjdutton-c6p]

Hey! This has been an awesome toturial so far but I’ve got a question. How do I get the animation to play once I’ve typed in the #frame/500 command?

can i asking incase we wanna export it out to using in Unreal Engine, how should we export it ?

[@Gen1us707]

question, at 1:20, it doesn't work for me. I don't get the same moving like you (btw, hitting play is not the answer. It just doesnt work) (okay what i just messed around, and after I clicked "delete drivers" and did it again, I DID IT!?)

[@alekrex5905]

Hey how's it going? I saw this video and I was delighted with this effect, but I would like to know if there is a way to do these "caustics" in another way because my model, a lake, is not straight.

[@mnietuniema2137]

nice tutorial, easy to follow Those damn nodes drives me crazy really How about making it interact with something threw into the water?

[@awayfromhome8580]

Thx vor the tutorial! I'm wondering as others in the comment section how to loop perfectly this shader, if you can make an update it would be soooo apreciated! Have a nice day! thx again ;)

[@wivernauth1353]

Hello friend, I loved the tutorial but I had a problem. when I add the #frame/500 and want to move the Y value, I get this message "Can't edit driven number value, see graph editor for driver setup". Is there a solution or is it because of the version difference?

what a legend

[@5uperbgaming]

Might be a dumb question but is there any way I can make it all react to like a stick or something that's interacting with the water?? If there's a video anyone can point me to that would be extremely approciated 🙏🙏

[@jaandansen7547]

Question, my water seems to 'reset' around frame 1200. By reset I mean that the material seems to be starting up again and displays the way the water looks at frame 1. Any idea how to fix this?

[@ollievendor7413]

i need an answer to this as well. it's not a smooth loop.

[@nerderonofficial]

Is there anything I should do differently for this project if I'm working in Blender 4.? It doesn't seem to be working the way its supposed to when I follow the steps you do. Specifically, it doesn't seem to do anything when I add the wobble driver, and the swirl effect from the F1 Voroni node doesn't go away and leave just the caustics visible. Any suggestions?

[@anilrai1299]

Using double noise texture node solved the issue for me. Just use 2 noise textures node one after another and play around with scale value and details

[@piotr-andreevich]

Its possible putting some something to make a light reflect in the water?

[@SlothFang]

There is shadow caustics in blender you can enable for the water, the "pool/rock" surface, and anything in the water to allow the shadow caustics to work masterfully like in real life.

[@mathaeis]

So when I add the rock texture underneath, it shows through 100% - I cannot see any part of the water texture on top of it. Yet it shows up in the render. That being said, the colors are much, much darker than what I have them set to. Any ideas what's going on?

[@mathaeis]

The answer is you have to add the image as a texture - not a reference image! Also, for everyone having issues with the #frame/500, try dropping the "#" in front.

[@Whirow_but_green]

couldnt you like make a .blend file where you can tale just the node tree?

Had to change to 3.3.1 instead of 4.1.1, man why did they have to remove musgrave makes no sense

[@anilrai1299]

​@@TalDreamcast I faced similar issues while working on one of the shader. The guide was to use musgrave node on top of noise texture. I managed to resolve that by using 2 noise texture. For me the same trick worked here as well. I used 2 noise texture and played around with scale value and details. It worked !
