How To Create A Water Shader // Godot 4 Tutorial

In this Godot 4 tutorial, you will learn how to create a high quality water shader script from scratch and apply it to a single plane mesh.

I go through basic shader setup, albedo, roughness, and metallic settings, and normal map setup and animation.

I also cover more advanced water shader features like vertex noise displacement, depth color, and edge detection.

You will learn some basics about the Godot shading language and have knowledge you can use to create your own Godot shaders in the Godot Engine.
