Stylized Water Shader

The watershader doesn’t require textures and imported meshes it’s a pretty nice solution for beginners and non-artists like me.

Use for the Noise textures Godot’s build in simplex noise

For the normalmap the same, but enable as_normalmap

Shader code

shader_type spatial;
render_mode blend_mix, specular_phong;

uniform float speed : hint_range(-1,1) = 0.0;

//colors
uniform sampler2D noise1; //add Godot noise here
uniform sampler2D noise2; //add Godot noise here
uniform sampler2D normalmap : hint_normal; //add Godot noise here, enable as_normalmap
uniform vec4 color : hint_color;
uniform vec4 edge_color : hint_color;

//foam
uniform float edge_scale = 0.25;
uniform float near = 0.1;
uniform float far = 100f;

//waves
uniform vec2 wave_strengh = vec2(0.5, 0.25);
uniform vec2 wave_frequency = vec2(12.0, 12.0);
uniform vec2 time_factor = vec2(1.0, 2.0);



float rim(float depth){
	depth = 2f * depth - 1f;
	return near * far / (far + depth * (near - far));
}


float waves(vec2 pos, float time){
	return (wave_strengh.y * sin(pos.y * wave_frequency.y + time * time_factor.y)) + (wave_strengh.x * sin(pos.x * wave_frequency.x + time * time_factor.x));
