Single Layer Water | 5-Minute Materials [UE4/UE5]

Today we’re looking at the Single Layer Water shading model in Unreal Engine! (also known as singlelayerwater). This shading model is unique as it looks completely translucent, but is actually opaque due to a separate pass being rendered. This can be used for things like water, interactive water, rivers, oceans, glass, crystals and much much more, since it also factors in refraction!
