Stylized Water Shader in Unreal Engine - Tutorial

[@crusenho]

I finally finished creating it with your nodes tutorial it works really well and it's amazing! thank you so much!

[@LaCloacaDelGame]

Thanks for the tutorial. Is wonderful!

[@tale_play]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! It was really helpful! 😄

[@alvarokaiquefail]

Thanks you so much!! Nice Video!

Hey man another nice tutorial on this one, can you make tutorial for modeling & texturing rocks next? I'll really appreciate it thankss

[@kiwax3544]

Hi, I'm not that good at modeling and texturing. I'm more into technical stuff like shaders and vfx so I'm sorry man. Maybe one day i'll try !

[@thechrisandrew_]

@@kiwax3544 i seee no problem mann 👌🏼

[@Smuglu]

@@kiwax3544 Btw, the textures from the original video are for fire for some reason (T_Fire and T_Fire Distortion). No Water normals or distortions available atm.

[@kellykryspin]

I got to 8:18 in and my Add node has an error [sm5] (node add) arithmetric between types flaot3 and float 2 are undefined .... Anyone have an idea why? I went back through and as far as I can tell I followed the steps just with my own distortion texture and normal texture :(

[@grakin5097]

hi! I think it's because in his video, when he adds the T_Water Texture, his texture sample remains on Color, maybe you switched it manually on color. You have to switch it on Normal because that is a normal map. I don't really understand why in his video it remains on Color, even though he adds the normal for water.

[@crusenho]

Where to get the water normal texture? It's not in the folder that you mentioned. It only has Fire and Fire_Distortion textures.

[@Singularity-vp9xo]

For people still struggling with finding the normal texture, it's in the starter content pack of unreal engine.

My landscape is not a part of the distance field, how to fix it ?

For some reason, the foam shows over the entire water body. I'm not exactly sure what's going on. It's like the foam doesn't differentiate from the water color. It worked at first, and then as I continued it seemeds to have broke. Do you have any idea as to what could be causing this? I followed the tutorial from start to finish multiple times. I am using UE5 alpha 2. So perhaps that could be it.

[@kiwax3544]

Hi, sorry for the late reply. You need to have a static mesh intersecting with the water plane for this to work maybe that's why it's causing you that.

[@mayapourpoutidi7391]

@@kiwax3544 I have the same issue, despite having a mesh to intersect my plane. I am using ue4.25

[@doxdmc6182]

you have to go to project settings and turn on generate mesh distance fields and restart the project :)

[@crazyPTchannel]

Try changing the Engine Scalability from low to Medium

[@The_Oren_Games]

What should I do if the water flashes white on UE 5?

[@kiwax3544]

Hi! Try adding a saturate node maybe you have values above 1 that make the water flash.

I know I am very late, fix is the depth of the water, change the value and it will go from white to color.

[@sunny99179]

Thank you. I want to export an water shader from blender, do you think unreal can recognize same settings?

[@kiwax3544]

Not really as its not the same language and not the same rendering engine. You would have to "translate" it to unreal with the nodes available there.

[@kam.3d]

Hey, I was wondering if anybody has had issues using this material when creating a game in split screen. For some reason the material goes white when player one is not facing it. I’m pretty sure it has something to do with the ‘distance to nearest surface’ node but I'm not sure how to fix it.

[@guillesvn3964]

So cool !!! Amazing shader, thank you so much :D I've got one question, do you know some way to have this white foam in the outlines of the mesh without being in contact with another mesh?

[@maikeldallalanadassi7432]

i was wonder how i do this effect around my player when he go into the water is possible?

[@kiwax3544]

It is possible but I don't know how sorry.

[@vogelbuschnicolas1700]

hi love the video but the links to the textures dont work :C

[@lethiagames9208]

no commentary?

[@GregoryRiabinin]

Hi. Can I get this material or texture?

[@kiwax3544]

Hi, you can find the textures on the original video that I added in the description. For the material you can only get it by doing the tutorial yourself, sorry.

[@JoshDoes]

HOW does someone just learn this..

[@maikeldallalanadassi7432]

hey man how i get that distortion texture?

Hello, You can use my texture but you don't have the rights to distribute it. Please, I would like you to remove your link and add a link to my description (my video). Another important point: you have illegally reuploaded a link to download a texture from the Starter Content (Normal Texture): It is not a good idea. However, I like your creations (ArtStation) and I'm glad you liked my tutorial :)

[@kiwax3544]

I'm sorry about that I am new to this. I added your video link in my description and deleted all the links in the comments. Glad you liked my creations too!

[@rimaye]

@@kiwax3544 No problem, thank you.

[@tale_play]

Hiya! I used your texture, is this completely free? Am I allowed to use it in my own game? I am new to this, if not would you be able to make tutorial about creating textures about stylized water? :O Thank you so much!
