Homework Submission – Week1 – Creek
I didn’t what to do for the modeling of this asset beyond what was already done, so I worked on the shader this week. It’s not finished still needs reflection and some kind of foam effect for the intersections. Here is what I have so far:
And here is the node setup if your curious. Spikey says the math is bad, which maybe true, but I’m putting math in the “finishing touches” category for now and just trying to find the right look. I don’t know how complex the shader can be before it becomes too cumbersome for eevee, but I don’t think I’m there yet. Any and all feedback is welcome!
Unless there is a way to cycle it procedurally without reversing the flow???
My gut tells me that that is indeed possible….maybe using a band:
Amazing week 1 submission @procyonlotor! As I said during yesterday’s stream, I’m very impressed by the resourcefulness you’ve displayed with virtually zero direction from me. You get full week 1 points easily 👍
Stylistically the main addition I’d like to see is some white water effects. Not as in rapids but more as a means to identify borders of the stream; where it interacts with the stones and edges of the terrain. It’s commonly called “edgefoam”.
I’ve looked into techniques for this a couple times and have never been able to do it procedurally with shader nodes. Maybe there’s a way to do it but 🤷♂️. Alternatively you could try adding a dedicated strip of geometry along the edges of the water (slightly above the water) with it’s own shader to simulate edge foam. This guide seems insightful (though not with Bender).
@procyonlotor fantastic!
One improvement would be to not animate the scale (which you also didn’t like…) of the Noise, but set it to 4D and animate the W value 😉
