Allow custom material variants for water

(no idea what else i could tag this with)

how difficult would it be to make custom variants for water? the current one material water is really limiting for what developers can do. for example i want to achieve something similar to the image below, where it’s a disgusting sludge that behaves like water.


due to the roblox terrain water not actually supporting custom materials, i am forced to find alternate methods to do such things. adding the ability to put materials onto water would be extremely helpful for me and other developers.

IF this was added as a feature, i assume you would be able to paint your desired material onto a section of water, and the properties would change depending on what material you painted it.

Water acts as a sprite-sheet on low graphics and as a shader on high graphics, so that’s pretty much why you also can’t have custom materials on Neon, Glass or ForceField.

yeah but that shader still has a texture and that sprite sheet has a texture so it’s possible
