your first water shader 

I've revamped my Patreon so it doesn't suck now! Now the monthly bonus videos are all available for $5 instead of $25. I'm going to be doing at least one bonus video tutorial every month, so if you're more serious about game art or if you just want to support the channel, you can do that in one easy tier. patreon.com/stylizedstation Lots more fun videos planned for the future. Keep creating!

making "still" water is maybe the easiest thing. but making a dynamic water with all those waves, buoyancy, foam, ripples and wave interaction is one of the most complicated things in game industry. so making water and making water are the easiest and the hardest things at the same time.

hey have you considered making a video about how they do caustics in stylized games like genshin? such a cool effect but i have no idea where to even begin with that

To make it more realistic consider adding a little bit of blue to the absorption color, or else none of the blue light gets absorbed at all. I think it’ll make it look less like flat color tinting and more like proper light absorption.

for issues with black material set opacity to 0, for me it works

This was one of the best water shader videos I think I’ve seen. Just beautifully succinct

man i so much appreciate your work... and also your announcement at the end seems like you are really trying to enable future artists thank you very much

I love this and one of the things that made me want to try Genshin Impact was purely just seeing all of the anime-esque scenery and how they might've done things in 3D for the stylized game! Thanks for the handy info!

Great tutorial! Can you make a follow up/"advanced" water tutorial with stuff like white foam edges around the edge of the water and objects in the water, and maybe a beach area where the waves roll onto the sand and back? :D

I am new to Unreal and this was very helpful. I also added a tiny bit of scattering color and it gave a nice murky water effect.

I'll be joining your patreon after work. I want the rest of this tutorial and love your videos.

Awesome! Could you maybe continue this tutorial and do interactive water? Keep up the great work though!

This was really helpful, thank you

idk why, but I love water in video games. even when I was a kid water in games just blew me away lol

I love the scene tbh, really well done. We want more videos like these xD

Thank you! This will be perfect for my new project!

I love so much your videos thanks man :)

Nice guide thank you for this.

Really cool!

This was amazing

Wow great video!

OMG! Thank you so much bro!

Awesome content ! Will also consider joining the patreon soon, it's great man :)

wow, i love water

hey stylized station, for the refraction you can change the refration mode from IoR to Pixel Normal offset, it fixes the line disontinuity, but works a bit different (and less intuitivly)

Dude... u give hope

Please make a course on how to create that beautiful scene you have in this video!

Looks awesome Could you make a video about underwater? So a character can dive

you have about the software. I personally enjoy learning so it was a little bit easier to do it over ti. But you’ll get there brother

science and character very nice

Instant subscribe to youtube and I'll be joining your patreon. Truly incredible

I'm already stuck at the beginning. Added the single layer water material node, set the blend mode to opaque and shading model to singlelayerwater, and copied the constants as seen on screen, but the material is just black. Can anyone please give a clue on what causes this? This seems to be the only tutorial that covers absorption. Edit. Found the solution! The color of the absorption has to be 100% saturated. As little as 99% saturation will render the material pitch black.

I Fcking love your channellll!!!!

I’m sold.

the youtube algorithm is a good excuse ;) thaanks for the great tips!

Looks nice...

Can you make a tutorial on how to make the tree seen in the water example? That’s would be awesome

there! Thanks a lot for the help, I'm going to subscribe to your channel and keep up with all the videos!

Could you please make a tutorial where you cover how to create these stylized clouds that are also present in the example scene of the video

Ugh, for some reason adding the orange color to the Absorption Coefficients node in Single Layer Water material does nothing for me....

Usually I skip through drawn out tutorials but I didn't for your video....I also knew these things but didn't understand why they did what they did. A lot of people would tell you what to do step by step but not explain why and what it does. So if I decide to do something a little differently I have to spend a lot of time experimenting. Thank you good sir....person 👍

You are a genious

What I want to know is how Portal 2 makes the fizzler and goo textures move, and how they make the fizzlers glow when cubes get close to them

every video of yours is sick

Is there gonna be an update to your teachable courses which include water?

You should check archeage's waters. For a non-anime mmorpg, the developers did a very good joob in creating it.

Awesome

thanks bru

Awesome! Can you do the same in Blender? 💜

What about importing midi files because most midis freezes my program. What can I do about it? I'm using soft soft Bundle Pack by

Don't forget to set Refraction Mode on the material to "Pixel Normal Offset!" Great work, very well presented!

The distortion effect offten catches items in the forground like your player character which can result in a really bad looking effect. Genshin Impact doesn't seem to suffer from this. Could you make a video showing how?

Would be awesome if you made a unity version of this too. Would be awesome.

This video made me mad because people actually took the time to DISLIKE IT. Who in their right minds doesn't like this video. Its INCREDIBLE

What about the shoreline foam and planar reflections😭

I did everything as you said, but my water is not blue, please help.

Why is my material black? Literally plugged in 4 things and all ive got is a black material. pissing me the fuck off.

Wait, so does your patreon include your survival kit course?

What are the nodes put into Coordinate? You kind of skipped that part.

How did you add the color parameter?

How would you do ripples along the edge? thanks.

how can i put ripple effects on a water mesh material when a character walks or swims on?

would this be added to the survial kit

How would you do the light asborb coefficiency thing in blender?

Can we get more genshin shader videos? They are so satisfying to watch

I uh, tried following along, and right now it's just a black square that blocks out the skylight only. Objects and assets are just the same color from before Edit: Dunno what I was doing wrong, but it all works now! I really appreciate the tutorial!

Nice, Thank you) Can I create game similar to this without code knowledge?

Would this work with water made with a spline? WaterBodyRiver, to be exact.

I've always had a extreme interest in digital art and design and graphical design and a lot of things like this but unfortunately with money restrictions and priorities being more focused on what's needed instead of what's wanted I have not been able to have a proper PC to be able to experiment with these things or the money to afford the programs I've only been able to play around on model programming and animation while I was in school and that was a very small amount but I enjoyed every last bit of it I would like to say thank you for keeping the dream alive even though I don't know when I'm going to be able to act on it I appreciate videos like this that keep that fire burning until I am able to act on it

You missed the blurring effect genshin does, they do some sort of soft blur for stuff under water

sold

Can you make à part 2 tutorial for swimming in this water ? Thank very much , it was à help full tutorial . +1 Like from France 👌

i did the water but when i put above something the color changes dependent on what 's under it, why is that

is this possible in unity and godot? is it possible to export this from UE to other game engines?

I am watching your vid cuz i am using that same wallpaper

Nothing to do with water shader but in Genshin there is this interesting illusion at the Mondstadt bridge. When we lower the camera to the floor, it gives the illusion that the pavement on the bridge has actual geometry. And if we pay attention and look from above, it looks like the feet of our character go through the pavement. What is this technique called ?

And I always thought that the sky and water are blue due to "rayleigh scattering". Most of red and green light beams go through the water and hit the ground, while blue light bounce back and forth on the molecules. (The different is: Its not about absorption) [Maybe I am wrong]

Is there a unity alternative process?

At this rate you'll be creating your own Genshin Impact.

short but powerfull

Lmao the ADHD part is so true cause I got lol

What about water wave?

i need to try something like this in godot

"youtube algorithm requires you to edit the videos like we all have ADHD" ... and here I am watching this at 2x speed because it's not fast enough for me...

What about reflections?

quick question" can water be created as a placeable object for Arma 3 specifically?

lol, it's what im currently doing!!!!

Can you make one for unity ?

How about Unity tutorial? :3

Why do you have a phisical sword on kazuha

Make it on unity please 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

why does it turn black when i plug (1,0,0) in to single layer water material, may someone tell me please : /

Refraction is disabled, how to enable it? its not working without it iguess

When I fill in steps of GMS the in channel rack instead of giving a soft like 'brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr' instead of 'br br br br'

am i the only one wondering how to create the thing of the absortion? i don't know how to make it

my men studied physics

3:00 BUT I DO LMAO

i love when its been years and cant find any of the nodes nor do i remeber the hot keys for them XD makes pretty much all tuts useless lol

what are the nodes that are 1,1,0

Seems works for mobile devices also
