Explore advanced settings such as foam depth, foam scatter MIP, and foam transparency to refine the detail and realism of your water materials. Additionally, Mahmoud will demonstrate how to add caustic effects to give your water an extra layer of depth and realism. Want to master these techniques and much more?
