Boat wake (Creation and Tutorial)

Want to make this? This is a boat wake, and I’m pretty sure you know how they work already so I’m not gonna explain it

Here’s how.

  1. Get a wake texture
    You can do this by searching… you guessed it, “wake texture”
    Wakes are triangle-shaped. We don’t want this though, because we want our wake to scroll, and if its a triangle it won’t be seamless.

Here’s the texture I chose.

  1. Make it seamless
    To make this texture seamless, I mirrored it horizontally and blended the intersection. This makes it so the top and bottom of the texture are the same

Here’s my edited texture.

  1. Create a beam
    In Studio, we will create a beam with a low width0 and a high width1. This makes it into a funnel shape. Then we make the transparency go from 0 to 1.

Now, once we apply the texture, we need to adjust a few settings. Here’s mine.
