looking good! how does it look when it’s moving?
Nice work! I really like it. Do you happen to know what I could search to figure out how to do this?
Ahh, I managed to find some stuff on this. Idk why I havent heard of this setup until now.
Yeah distance fields are great for this kind of thing.
Here’s a relevant thread with example material setup for those who don’t know

I looks really cool actually because you see the texture approach the rocks and then wrap around it as it goes downstream. I’ll record a video of it tonight and upload. Now I need to find a nice way to make it look realistic. If anyone knows any good tutorials then post them my way!
I want to know how you did it.
nice, tutorial???

I’ve also been wanting to do a water material… I hope someone will make a tutorial on this? Otherwise i’ll have to start investigate this and do one myself, including a tutorial…
Any update on this guys. Very interesting stuff. Sadly the link is dead also.
He probably used distance fields to define where the water is obstructed. I’ts kind of pushing the texture on the UV.
Maybe this will help you guys.

I don’t think he ever actually shared his approach anyway, sadly for us.
Yeah exactly. There’s a link, however, it’s been dead for god knows how long.
Any assitance would be much appreciated.
