Unity Shader Graph - Waterfall Effect Tutorial

Unity Shader Graph - Waterfall and Ripples Tutorial

In this Shader Graph tutorial we are going to see the steps I took to create this very stylized Waterfall with Ripples. It's one shader for the waterfall and another for the ripples. And we also need some meshes and a simple texture for the ripples.

Omg using lightmap pack to force it to squares before doing follow active quad is GENIUS. I cant believe i never thought of that. So much quicker

[minitruffle]

I think we can all agree this guy is the brackeys of shaders

You're amazing! I'm really glad I found your channel. I hope more game developers discover you.

I don't have a lot of money, but the inspiration alone is more than worth it. <3
(I'm talking about all of your amazing work of course)

Really awesome tutorial. Keep it up :)

[satanx]

thanks Brackeyes for the cartoony Water

[thepithief]

Love your videos! Keep up the good work!

If you dont know how to use blender I would recommend making your waterfall out of probuilder, its really easy to use. You can get the mesh by exporting your probuilder object to a .obj file

Thank you so much. I love these type of videos. You are hands down the best fx and shader youtuber out there I have seen.

[sunnyup]

You are really my VFX God. Thanks for sharing all this awesome stuff :)

[erttttt]

I did everything like on the video but have no Ripple amount in the material

[nightninja]

Been subbed for over a year and you always amaze me, great work !

[infokubarcade]

It looks amazing man ! It's a very clean and easy to follow explanation ! Thanks and congrats !

[ernestnovakhov]

how do you add depth to the water? my water is as thin as a piece of paper. :(

Gabriel: thank you so much for this amazing tutorials on how you do your effects. I'm actually taking your Udemy course, and I'm very amazed with the shaders and particle systems. By the way, I'm a programming/audio/photography teacher, and right now I'm teaching videogame development basics with Unity, so all this knowledge is to spread it to my students. Again: thank you so much for your sharing spirit.

13:27 I can only see transparency in mine. Though if I linked the alpha from the Sample Texture 2D node instead of from the Split node, the ripple will then appear. Can anyone please tell me what may be wrong.

Also I used Gimp Instead to create ripple texture. And I can't find if there is any Outer Glow in GIMP. So I Duplicated the Layer and use blur. And after importing the texture, in the Inspector I set the images Alpha Source to Input Texture Alpha.

Thanks so much for this video, finaly i can make my own river for game, thanks! Or like is saying in Brazil, muito obrigado!

[micgeims]

Amazing job, really cool render, 'love it thx !

[peterdelgado]

Awesome job! Can this be recreated with lit materials? I notice a lot of these water fall tutorials are only being done with unlit shaders.

Not sure if this helps anyone but i had an issue with the texture masking portion where it is multipled before the color is added. I shifted the mask texture and multiple to the very end (after the color part is done), and only apply it at the alpha stage (after the split node), and it seems to work.
