Description

Today, Mahmoud Alkawadri will show you how to understand and manipulate the water material system in Unreal Engine 5. In this comprehensive lesson, you’ll learn how to adjust the absorption and scattering parameters to control the color and transparency of your water, creating stunning visual effects. Discover how to tweak the anisotropy settings to enhance the contrast and saturation of your water shader for a more vibrant look.

Mahmoud will guide you through the process of enabling and customizing foam effects, even though Epic Games disables this by default due to distance field generation issues. You’ll learn step-by-step how to modify the beach foam function, adjust parameters for a more natural shoreline appearance, and ensure that foam integrates seamlessly with your water waves.

Explore advanced settings such as foam depth, foam scatter MIP, and foam transparency to refine the detail and realism of your water materials. Additionally, Mahmoud will demonstrate how to add caustic effects to give your water an extra layer of depth and realism.
