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.

It's good to see you added reflections. Some people think after you follow the instructions, that's it. So I'm glad people are taking care and thinking about what else needs to be done.

That's an awesome tutorial, although a little complicated in some parts. XD Gotta find the German translations for most of the filters first, but I eventually worked it out and produced this(after a first failed attempt): [link]

This is just the tutorial I was looking for, you speak the truth-- Alot of water tutorials don't have this specific detail in them. You're beyond talented with photoshop obviously, you even know a great amount about photoshop!
