How can I make this depth water effect?
#2

can you make that replace actual terrain water material?

#3

Pretty Sure, It just needs to have the swimming functionality coded in and It should be all set

#4

oh but you cant replace the actual material for the water terrain?

#5

Roblox doesn’t allow you to do that afaik

#6

Looks cool but why are the waves triangles? (or is my eyes tricking me lol)

#7

I have no clue, lol. The normals were from Roblox’s platform content textures.
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Roblox\Versions\<versionfolder>\PlatformContent\pc\textures\water

#8

Did you have to reupload them?

#9

from how you insert material’s properties with the material variants, I guess so.

#10

Oh, you’re using material varients here?
I thought you were just using an animated texture…
So you’ve created a normal map for all 25 varients?

#11

As I’m wondering if I could use yours to save uploading all these textures…

#12

Sure!

How did you animate the material varient? I keep getting lacking capability plugin error everytime I try.

-- Assuming these are your frame IDs
local frames = {
	"16170777604",
	"16170778817",
	-- Add other frame IDs here...
}

-- Get the MaterialVariant
local materialVariant = game.MaterialService.RobloxTerrain["Shimmer (Concrete)"] -- replace Workspace with the location of your MaterialVariant

-- Check if the MaterialVariant exists
if not materialVariant then
	error("MaterialVariant not found.")
end

-- Change the color map ID
for i, frameId in ipairs(frames) do
	wait(1) -- wait for 1 second between each change
	materialVariant.ColorMap = "rbxassetid://" .. frameId
end
