Hey Devs! So, I made a ■■■■■■ water render, and it looks alright, expect when looking at it from shallow angles. Anyone knows how to fix this? Or if there is a library with transparent water I can use, that’d be awesome. Uassets: Dropbox - WaterStuff.rar - Simplify your life Picture: http://puu.…

It might be a side effect of the fact that refraction in Unreal 4 is handles using a post process effect. So it might be a side effect of that. Maybe someone from Epic could clarify on why this would be happening, or maybe it is an actual bug. For now you could use a custom distortion, which is eas…

Cool, maybe now someone can help us :frowning: I placed this project on hold.

Note: opacity is not used anymore, even though the shader is transparent. The opacity is tweaked by the way you blend the scene color with your base color.

That’s cool. Any chance you could share that water material to me?

I don’t have it on the computer I’m currently working on, but it is basically your shader with the above nodes inside the “Custom Distortion” box added exactly the way show in the picture.

Hi there, I’ve only just come across this as UE’s refraction is driving me crazy! I just can’t seem to get it to work how I like. But the screenshots you showed look exactly like what I’m trying to achieve :slight_smile: However, I’m a bit confused as to what it is I need to plug into the component …

I don’t have that project with me anymore. But you plug in the color of the water from what I can tell. You can check out Epic’s water stuff and get some water examples from there.

OK, I’ll see what I can come up with, thanks :slight_smile:

Water refraction is missing at shallow angles
