Add water effects to your scene super quickly with aquatiq. Instead of spending hours creating complex simulations, you add simple planes with animation sequences that can be previewed in the viewport.

The library contains 2D and 3D water assets that can be used as legos to build new effects and assets like fountains, birdbaths, and water materials.

The water shader that comes with aquatiq is called waterial and is also sold separately. It is an advanced material for creating animated water surfaces with low memory requirements and is much less performance-intensive than simulations. Descriptions in the node group make changes to the material rather easy.

LATEST RELEASE:

2022/10/21: aquatiq 1.1.1 fixed bugs.

Documentation available!

Features
Spawn the assets as a mesh or a linked instance to save memory.

Loop every 30 frames.

Mask painting lets you quickly blend the effect into the surroundings.

Textures have seamless transitions, so most effects can be repeated infinitely.

Collection of ready-made water materials for Eevee and Cycles comes with aquatiq as well, originally from waterial addon.

Ready-made showcase beach scene.

You can layer the meshes on top of each other to create a more dense effect.

Assets
aquatiq comes with 17 fountain assets divided into sub-categories like big and small fountains, goblets and basins, birdbaths, and wall fountains.

Water Materials
The node group is quite complicated, but it is documented here. The water material is also sold separately here.
