How can I make the water in Unreal Engine 5 clearer so that the rocks underneath are more visible in UE5?

Hello everyone, I’m trying to make the water in my Unreal Engine 5 project clearer so that the rocks underneath are more visible. I’ve attached two images, one is the current look of my water and the other is the desired look. Can anyone guide me on how to achieve this effect? Any help would be greatly appreciated.


What happens if you tweak the translucency mask of the material?

I can’t really find this setting on the Water Plugin material :frowning:

It’s not a setting, you have to open the material used by the plugin and tweak it. I suggest you look closer at the Material Editor and perhaps a few tutorials to understand the basics! :slight_smile:

Yes, I opened the material and searched for translucency mask but I could’t find anything. Also the blend mode is masked, I don’t know if that’s the reason I can’t find it.

Looks like the opacity is set herein:

I’m looking under \Engine\Plugins\Water. Under there is a material called “Water_Material”. Check inside.

I changed a lot of parameters but still couldn’t achieve the effect I want.
