Tutorial: Simple 3D Water in Godot 4 

Thanks for this tutorial, it helped with my current project. If anyone is doing a low-poly (PS1 Style) game, and needs water to match the aesthetic, you can try changing the Fractal Type to "Ridged" instead of "None" and that will make it look like old water textures from back then. Just make sure to rebalance your opacity values and maybe even your multiply values, depending on what you want, because the Fractal Type will change the behavior of the wave, due to how those waves are generated.

I always struggled with writing shaders and found it significantly easier to just write the code, but you've managed to show me how visual shaders can be a very nice (and easy to understand) way to make shaders. Great job at explaining the process. :)

This is a slick tutorial! You’ve definitely put a lot of effort into making sure everything is clear and legible

Really appreciate how thorough your tutorials are. Thank you!

Great tutorial & great introduction into shaders in general, thanks! 👍

Very cool and straightforward, also very well explained. Keep up the awesome work!

This is such a good tutorial, I really liked how you took the time to explain each step!

Your tutorials are the best I have found so far - I just started with blockbench and godot a few days ago, and I am quite pleased with my results, thank you! I've done 2d in gamemaker for years off and on, but that's about it. You not only show me new things, but new ways of doing things - gold! I appreciate you!

thorough, easy to follow tutorial. Thank you so much.

You've gained two subs, my m8 and I are starting on a project, and you've been a lot of help!

Really great intro to visual shaders, would love to see a depth check tutorial!

Your tutorials makes everyone smile! ^^😇 Keep the good work! ^^

Thank you. You made it understandable and easy to follow along.

Amazing and simple! Thank you!

That was a great tutorial! Thank you

Great video. Made it look so easy! 👍

Well put together!

That was insanely helpful, thank you

Thank you for this great tutorial!

actually this is a pretty good intro to shaders in Godot. thanks man

After this well explained tutorial its a automatic subscribe for me, thank you

Would be REALLY nice to have a video about this foam effect, for the first time ever i think i'm understanding shaders :)

I love how you make everything bigger so we can actually see it *o*

you are explaining stuff as i am 4 years old and i love it dont change it it helps my smooth marble brain to get some heavy wrinkles ! thanks

it works great! Thank You!! 👌👌

Yes I was interested

nice very good tutorial and good explanation

Thanks you for this tutorial. great tutorial great tutor

Wow, this is just simply amazing. So easy to do and yet so complex in the same time (for a noob like me :P ). I have learned a lot thanks to this one! Thank you very much, sir, for doing this! Can I have a little request? Shockwaves. But nothing like 2D based shockwaves. I mean proper 3D, (probably) sphere-based shockwaves from explosions and stuff, kind of heat/distortion effect. Damn, I'll even pay for that. Most tutorials explain it in mostly unclear way, especially for 3D. Please, please, please :) Thank you again. Best Regards

The shader also reacts to objects so that they also move up and down If not, I would also like to see a tutorial from you, the videos are easy to understand, you do great work and I can learn a lot from you :)

you are a genious!

Bramwell's voice is like smooth butter

I think the chapter times and titles are incorrect in this video - they seem to be for a first person controller!

Great Tutorial! Can you make a Tutorial in addition to this one on How To Add Water Depth Shader?

goooorgeous!

Hi Bramwell, wondering if you have any tips on making light actually shine through the water, rather than reflect off the top of the mesh? I'm trying to accomplish a volumetric effect with lights that shine into a water surface :)

Good stuff, thanks man! How would one go about creating the water underneath, if a player were able to go in the water?

Thank you

ty so much

Love the voice, Love the video.

Nice, Please make an interactive grass shader Tutorial

Hello how do I make the shader repeat with the size of the plane?

thanks a lot for the video! it's amazing. I'm trying to figure out how to make stuff float in the water now... but I can't seem to get the data of the height of the water out of the shader and into the physics... any idea on how to accomplish this?

I didn't watch until the end yet, but I have to upvote and comment right right now (for the algorithm, you know that). There are many people (including me) who basically know what happens in shader scripts, but who also never really got used to the way of thinking that you need for scripting shaders. Using the graphs really helps and I love almost any video showing how to use the visual shader editor in Godot! More like that! ❤

Do you have an idea how to add splashes when something is dropped to the water or character walking in the water?

Hi Bramwell, thank you for this amazing shader ! Is there a way to easily to scale/tile the mesh but maintain the effect as a 20m square ? Do I have to duplicate the mesh and stick it to the first one ? Thanks for your answers

really nice. I only have 1 issue, idk why when I put this scene on another scene it turns all waves White when Im in Play mode.

GREAT !!!!

so fuckin cool, great tut!

Oh my god thank you! Is there a way to "refract' the stuff below the water plane? So that it's all wobbly and watery?

i never touch godot shader but as a blender user too i think i can use the visual shader hopefully

How would you make the water murky?

One of the best content creators tor Godot right now

ur a fcking legend dude honestly

can objects interact with the water?

my noise somehow looks so bad and is not seemless at all. even tought it is checked as seemless. also i don't really get how you can scale the noise texture in itself. to me the it looks way to big. also have a problem with applying it to different sized surfaces. looks stretched on one and idk how you could fix that

Great video! The chapter timestamps are from another video though.

can I use this tutorial in godot 3.5.1

thx =)

apparently it's way different in the godot 4 version I'm using, in visualshader it doesn't have Texture2d or other shaders.... I used similar nodes for others but texture2D i missing and it seems I can't replace it with other nodes.

not expecting a reply since nobody elso got one, however how do i scale it up without it looking goofy

what about glow on openGL ? I downloaded godot 4.1 and this shit not work :c

Hello I'm only about 5 minutes into the video and already running into an issue. When I set the Default Value to 004488, it changes the color in the visual shader editor, but not in the inspector of the mesh, nor in the viewport either. Is there a reason why it's not updating? I tried saving and reloading the scene but it doesn't seem to update the color unless I change the parameters in the inspector. Edit: I found the issue. If you close the dialog box that lets you pick a color by clicking outside of the box, it creates this glitched state. To fix it, you must hit return after inputting 004488, not click outside of the box. Hopefully this will be fixed in an update to Godot. Edit Edit: Ok that isn't working for me anymore either, though at least clicking the eye button doesn't revert the color to white now. I notice in the video he might be experiencing the same glitch, since 004488 is a much darker shade of blue than the one his material takes on. I think his inspector is set to a different shade of blue.

Noway I've just followed a tutorial made by the guy who did GameDevTV tutorial I initially followed

👍👍

Hi there, wondering if someone could help me out. I've followed the tutorial and have now tried applying my shader to a large plane in my game scene. However, the shader is stretched out across the plane rather than tiled. I think I need to apply triplanar scaling to the UV of the shader. I just am unsure how to achieve this! If anyone could help me out I'd greatly appreciate it :) Also, thank you so much for creating this amazing tutorial!

You are really good. I would buy your course, but it seems like it is not videos, but text. Why didn't you use video for your course? You are so good at these videos. Godot is also visual, so it can be much quicker to understand something in a video then reading a document.

I'm very confused, i followed your instructions but I didn't get angry waves... i got stable waves like what you got in the end result. I don't know how I did this, or if it's some update to 4.2?

What a nice tutorial! I wanted to know if it is possible to make the foam in another way, because I tested it here and I didn't like the result, as it depends on the camera's point of view. When looking from the side the foam disappears in one of the corners, would you have any alternative to solve this problem?

Do the foamy thingy, pulees

First great tutorial. I love your tuts on Godot 4, especially the shader system. Do you have one on lighting as well? ;-) When doing this tut in Godot 4 beta 10, I don't get the vertex function in the viewport. Only the little preview window of the shader shows, what should be visible in the viewport.

I dоwnloaded everything is okay
