Water Depth Shader - UE4 Materials 101 - Episode 24

In this video, we learn how to calculate the opacity of water. The opacity is based on both depth and viewing angle. We compute depth using the world space position, the camera postion, and the Scene Depth and Pixel Depth nodes. For viewing angle, we use the Fresnel node. And finally we add a DepthFade node to blend the edges of the water. Next week we'll add reflection and refraction to our water and have a complete water material. ------------------------------ Learn more!!
