I found out about your channel just a few days ago and lemme tell you, all of your videos caught my eye, wonderful, underrated content and entertaining videos. You will get far with this quality, I will be around for more :) keep the excellent work, buddy!

If you have holes in water, you can just add clamp before World Position Offset, set Min value as 0, and Max value as 1000

End of tutorial is rushed, without explanations. The plane is invisible and i cannot change the Directions parameters at 8:55, because if i change one it auto changes all others and i cant figure out how to stop it from doing that.
EDIT : They need to have different names. Direction 1, Direction 2, Direction 3, Direction 4.

Amazing video that really helped understand the nvidia article and basic maths. Loved it 👍

Blender is a great software, I never seem to be able to pull off UV maps or Lightmaps with it when using blender and ue4 for projects. I hope other people relate to struggling with lightmaps and UV maps.

Noticeable bump in production quality bud :). Great tuts as always.

Hello i was just wondering, whenever i turn the parameters to 0 my water disappears, what could be the issues ? Since i added this to my Water Master Material i dont want to have waves just still water in some places.

[Frog]

what values did you end up using to make the waves?

[EliteInExile]

It's awesome that this still works in UE5, but the waves are looking a little blocky, I made sure to subdivide my plane with 100 cuts, what might I be doing wrong?

[Lazerdiller]

Will these be editable at runtime, so can they get changed during playtime to make smaller/higher waves depending on the day?

[motazturk]

the last part of the tutorial is so rushed! i couldnt follow anything that was happening... real shame because the first part was really well explained!

[umarcga]

what walues did you added into wavelenght and amplitude etc?

[leafey]

I love your videos and wanted to ask, if you know how to make cuttable trees as a mechanic for a game, there are really no good tutorials of it.

Thanks a lot for this crazy content ! I just have a little issue during the test, I got some flickering lines appearing on my shader and I don't really know why 🤔Let me know if you can help me !

[lordofchaos]

I have followed your tutorial.however the shader is glitching and is creating holes panning throughout the material. I think it might be related to the world position offset but I am not sure how to solve it.

[nodubstephere]

I followed the steps, but my water is invisible in both Sine and Gerstner. :( Pls help

[topg]

My plane just bounces up and down, tried tutorial 3 times idk whats wrong, the plane has been subdivided into 50x50

[dolphard]

I can understand the equation, but nodes intimidate (and scare) the heck out of me! 😶

[alexelias]

the end of the tutorial is a disapointment, you dont explain nothing and ruined the tutorial. i spent 20 mins following you to get inevitably lost at the end. i feel i wasted my time
