Hey all!

I've done many tutorials over the years and have gotten a few requests for the tutorial result file, so, I've finally gotten to make it available.

Water is an interesting topic and has enjoyed many a tutorial at my hand, hehe! It's the final frontier - after normals, after rocks, after parallax occlusion mapping,... yeah it's up there okay, LOL!

The tutorialhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-QyCsWwPa8

The reflections tutorial was a hit, because in Blender Render, you could control the distance that the reflection should function at - this was to speed up reflection render times, because oh did they ever slow down renders. Eevee uses two techniques - limited probe and screen space reflections. Both are incredible, neither allow for controlled distance.

SO, instead, for the update, I focussed on producing a result that is similar to anime art and to lean it more to the 2D side, I added some bonus elements!

Included:Water reflections - Blender Render, 2.77aWater reflections - Eevee update - 2.93.8

Bonus elements on Eevee version:

• Simple toon materials
• Additional outlining of the bridge for a more painted feel
• Foam circles on all the legs where they make contact with the water
• A little bit of foam on the water surface
• Reflection probe to increase reflection quality
• Nicely finished world with clouds
• Overall, a much better result!

If you were curious how to transfer this to Eevee, this update will blow your mind at how similar it really is! :D

I just know you're gonna dig into this with enthusiasm and love what you get out of it!!
