Water is not rendering Properly in Rendered View?

Hi,

1. I don’t know why my water looks good in Viewport Shading mode but not in Rendered mode?

2. Why are there no shadows in Rendered mode?

I am using Eevee. Blender 3.1

Viewport Shading Mode water looks good.

Rendered Mode water isn’t showing up.

Looks like you haven’t setup an HDRI. The default Material Preview HDRI is not automatically setup to work in Rendered mode: you’ll need to do that yourself. A guide on how to setup the same HDRI as the one used in Material Preview mode can be found here.

Thanks but I do have an HDRI already setup.

Ok, I didn’t have “Screen Space Reflections” selected. Thanks for the help.
