If you don't need the addon and just need the extra waves, here's the ocean material in a blend file.

Here you can find a link to the download of the addon. This addon is great if you don't want to get into the mess of creating realistic materials yourself. For oceans, I'm using the ocean shader available in the Blendermada addon. I'm not going to go into the process of creating ocean textures proceduraly because the community already did this messy work for us. We can use textures as normal maps without uv unwrapping the plane because they are procedural, and work with generated uv map. Although, this will not remove the 'pattern' of the water completely, it will just change the way it looks until it's good for you.Īn other solution consists in using procedural textures in top of the actual displaced geometry. To make the ocean feel more realistic you can increase the random amount so you don't have this uggly thing you see above. This will work fine working with tiny waves like you have on your screenshot, but as soon as you are working with big waves, it gets uggly because you immediately spot the repetitive pattern: I think one good way to get more details on the waves here is to increase the repeat X Y, and decrease the (spatial) Size. You can't modify the scale of the texture internally displacing the mesh, like you would do with a procedural texture like Noise.
