Waterfall Shader

Overview

The Waterall Shader is a relatively simple shader, but offers specific layer/tiling/speed settings which allows you to create a more layered visual effect for your waterfall.

Shader Params

Specular color, Glossiness, and Glow are not supported. Emissive color is supported.

Parameter	Description	Shader Gen Requirement
Alpha blend multiplier	Multiplier amount for alpha blending.	Default
Foam deform	Multiplier for deforming the foam texture, based on the bumpmap texture.	Foam
Foam multiplier	Multiplier amount for foam texture.	Foam
Fresnel bias	See Illum Shader for more information.	Default
Layer0 bump scale	Scale the bump map texture for the first layer.	Default
Layer0 speed	Control the texture rolling speed for the first layer.	Default
Layer0 tiling	Set the texture tiling amount for the first layer.	Default
Layer1 bump scale	Scale the bump map texture for the second layer.	Default
Layer1 speed	Control the texture rolling speed for the second layer.	Default
Layer1 tiling	Set the texture tiling amount for the second layer.	Default
Reflect amount	Control the reflection amount which comes from the environment map.	Environment map
Refraction bump scale	Scale the refraction effect inherited by the bump map texture.	Default
Sun multiplier		Sun shading

Shader Generation Params

Parameter	Description
Environment map	Use environment map as separate texture.
Sun shading	Activate for water sunshading - for outdoors.
Foam	Enables foam rendering. Uses diffuse texture.

Examples

Below you'll find some examples of different effects which can be achieved with the Waterfall Shader.


Base Object	Base Object with BumpMap


Layer1 tiling = 10	Layer1 tiling = 10 / Layer0 tiling = 0.25


"Foam" texture in Diffuse slot / Foam Deform = 0.25	Foam Deform = 0

These following screens have tiling on the second layer set to 0 (basically disabling the layer) to better see changes.
