What is a good way to create water besides Terrain Editor

[DasKairo (Cairo)]

Hello,

What is a good way to create water without Terrain Editor

before the 2022 Material Update, i would use Granite as water,

But how can i make Water look cooler with the new Materials?

What Should i do?

Depends on the use case, but you could make your own “part-water” or use one someone else has made:

High performance water: Swimmable part 2.0

Greetings my fellow developers. About a year ago I released the first version of this project, and I think it’s time to release the second big version. What’s changed? The system has been completely re-written, to remove some problems and re-organise the whole code. This is one of the most important things I fixed in this version: The overall mechanics have also improved.

You could make your own material or find one online too.

There’s also this stylized water:

Thanks, truly,

I should’ve been more clear tho:

On the wall is a Beam, but i’m trying to create realistic water:

You can play around with the beam properties such as transparency and color that can help you get something that you like.

Yes, I have with the beams, i know, but im more of refering to the highlighted part below.

If you mean moving waves, that’s done with vertex displacement. Which, seems near impossible on Roblox. Mesh deformation is now a thing though.

These are some resources though: (lots of reading and sifting through things.)

Making A Mesh Deformation Ocean

If you stumbled upon this, more likely than not, you want to create a deformable mesh ocean like a lot of these cutting edge games nowadays. Good news is that after days of my own searching an learning to no avail, I eventually figured it out and now I’ll share what my process was. Note: This tutorial only covers the setup, the mesh, and the basics to scripting the waves. If you want an in depth tutorial on the wave equation and scripting side of things, use this well written post. This is my …

Seamless, endless, and performant custom water using skinned meshes and PBR

My development team behind The Wild West is working on a new game, and we wanted to showcase some cool custom water we worked on utilizing some creativity combined with PBR and Vertex Deformation(Skinned Meshes) [image] [2020 10 09 19 37 09] Inspired by how games such as Sea of Thieves do their water, water is all real time and deterministic, but is only updated/rendered within the camera’s viewing frustum and a set distance. Doing this correctly allows us to keep it optimized an…

You can add caustics by raycasting to the ground, or easier, throwing a texture on the water part. You could make the texture move with TweenService to make it look like the water is moving, or change some stuff with a Beam if you go that route.

You could make a cartoony vibe if you made the white highlight black instead of white? I’m guessing that was to show what was the water, but yeah.

Kinda confused, the above stuff more in line with the goal?

[AlphaTheDragonMage (TrashEnjoyer)]

You can add another beam on the surface of the highlighted part. That’s the easiest thing I can think of for adding details to it…

why, not change the texture to before 2022?
or make your own texture?

[DasKairo (Cairo)]

Pretty much, and i got something I like, thanks:

(Sorry for bad quality, for some reason my PC cant record with 150 FPS.)

[GreenStom_I (i3_6Core)]

ok, thats good. keep working with it then it will be more realistic

The Fountain is just for detail in an FPS

Game is already scripted, i just disabled the MainScript to walk around and stuff
