The help you guys gave to me can’t be described in just few words, thank you for everything that you’ve done ❤❤❤

If anyone is experiencing that bug at 11:45 where the ocean becomes blank, go back to the ocean geo node and save the spectra to disk again. I do not know why they removed that part from the video.
