Vortex shader on the water.

[icarus51]

Hi all, Happy New Year.

Please a favour. Does someone remember as the vortex shader must be put (in node network) for making effect on the water? Thanks in advance.

If you displace your water by say a pf, you can add the vortex after that, and it will vortex the displacement. Without displacement it doesn't do anything, see it as a kind of warper. So if you want a bathtubdrain-kind-of effect, add displacement by using a circular very soft simple shader that masks a perlin noise and also displaces down, then the vortex....

Hi Ulco,

Many thanks for your explanation. It's for this reason that i didn't manage to get this effect in my rendering. I was wrong the whole procedure .

You're welcome. Do post the result, if possible.

You might want to create some clouds so there is something to reflect on the water.
Maybe this will help:

I found that as well when I made my 'caught in the whirlpool' image right after we got this shader.
