Description
This is a step-by-step guide to making a base texture layer for water. It helps if you already have water made and want to add some fluid detail to it. Because by itself, it will still look artificial without ripples/splashes and distortion of objects inside it.This Example - is a finished image of mine where this guide was used to good effect. There's a lot to consider when blending this guide into your own work.
Give credit if this helped you, thanks.
