Physical Water FX is a cutting-edge Blender addon developed for 3D artists seeking to elevate their work with realistic water effects. Water is not just a plane with roughness set to zero and a noise texture for ripples. Water is waves formed by contact with objects, flowing currents, bubbles, foam, and caustics. In nature, it's rare to find perfectly clear water—there are always particles floating on the surface or underwater. Our product offers all of this, providing a comprehensive solution for creating realistic water effects that bring your scenes to life.
Check out the promo video below, where I've created several natural environments featuring water using my addon to showcase its full potential.
