Thank you for your breakdown video. You mentioned that the water disappears when engine scalability is set to Cinematic. That is the issue with it disappearing when using the Movie Render Queue because it, by default, automatically sets the scalability to Cinematic when rendering. You have to add the Game Overrides setting in the render config and deselect Cinematic Quality Settings.
God I cannot WAIT till we have real-time water physics at high resolution that can just interact with every character, object, etc. in. video games, it seems this is going to be a HUGE transition period for these types of physics finally, maybe by PS6 theyll be able to achieve it easily! ❤️❤️❤️
From what I've seen, Fluid flux plugin looks really good as far as real-time water simulations go atm. Yeah but realistic water simulation being commonplace would be a dream :0
Hi Nathan sorry for the late reply, I'd not get your hopes up about doing anything substantial with this plugin just yet. If you need water and things floating on it, I'd stick to the traditional method. IME this thing is really experimental and very resource heavy atm
Hmm I haven't seen any examples with Niagara fluids system. But if you look up buoyancy, there's a lot of tutorials you can follow using the built in water system
Hey if you mean if I found a way to use it in a real project, unfortunately no. I think it will take some time for people to figure out how to make this more peformant and visually polished
с помощью этого метода наверно нельзя сделать, чтобы плыл корабль, а за ним брызги и волны? Это же не может двигаться вместе с кораблем? Это только в очень ограниченном пространстве?
Realistically I think it's very limited at the moment because of performance. As far as I can see it's simulating physics of every voxel and you can see the fps drop significantly when you increase the resolution.
Is it possible to texture the water to look like lava, and build a channel for it to run through (say, using gravity to flow from one end of a track to another)? Or should I just try and use an animated texture on geometry?
Theoretically if you swap out the material and play around with the viscosity it should work as it already works with collisions and gravity. @Borrowed Truths was exploring this topic if I remember correctly. I think making it look somewhat good and optimized would be the big challenge with that.
I have a car hitting a barrel and am using a niagara water sim... however, the water is too BLUE for the scene (using City Sample). Do you know where I can change the color?
Unfortunately I've probably not delved into Niagara fluids any more than you have TBH. I really hope they get this out of experimental and start making it usable.
No I don't think you'd wanna do that with this even if it was possible. Would take up way too much vram. If that is really what you need, have a look at fluid flux plugin. Looks really good out of the box
Hi i have a specific thing im trynig to with water in unreal engine 5 but i cant find any videos on it. I have a water cooled pc i made and im trying to get water to flow through all the tubes aswell as sit in the pumps that are situated. Im trying to do this because all the tubes and pumps are glass and the computer is the main focus.
Hi I'm no expert in this field so not the best person to ask. Having said that I think Niagara Fluid is a framework only kind of feature. Definitely not a fully setup tool for end users. I'm not sure if there is any real-time fluid simulations that could handle anything like what you are talking about. The fluid flux plugin does come to mind, maybe look into that if you are trying to make a run-time project. If you are doing cinematics and trying to do fluid simulations, I think other renderers that are available in programs like houdini, C4D etc would be much better for the job, at least for now.
So I just replied to this other person who had a similar question. If you are trying to simulate fluids or some kind of solution that makes it look like it, I'd look into plugins like fluid flux for now. Niagara fluids is not really a usable tool for end users atm in terms of utilizing it in ways that you are describing. If you were some kind of rendering engineer and could work with the framework to wiz it up so it works that way maybe. But really I don't think it's meant to be used that way for now.
When I make my sphere invisible, it does not react to the water. Also, is it possible to change the material settings of the water to something different, say, a lava material?
I'm not sure what you did exactly to make your sphere invisible but if you've just turned it off in the world outliner, the physics won't work. You need to have an invisible material applied so it's invisible but still turned on in the outliner so other things like physics will still work. I'm pretty sure you could make it look like lava if you messed with the shader etc but that is beyond my skill level lol
@@Flipside3D Thank you. I did manage to find the material settings for the water and make it appear to be lava, but it required a lot more computing energy.
@@Flipside3D Make a video for all of us if you can fine tune it. Making a lava flow is something I've been trying to do. Lava material is easy, making it look fairly realistic is not so easy.
It does feel that way, but honestly though superfun just playing with this and watching the water even now. I was picturing myself surfing it so many times lol
I'm trying to render out a Niagara fluid smoke sim and looks great in the view port but even with the settings you suggest it still renders out blank, pretty fraustrating
Hey, so that happens to me whenever I start a new project and forget to enable the niagara fluids plugin. Maybe double check that you have that plugin turned on?
This Niagara system only works in the very centre of the map. If you have your own large custom map with different terrain elevations etc this will not work. One of the dumbest things about UE5 and very counter productive. Also the niagara systems are practically unusable for building games as they just use too much resource to run,
Hey I know it can be quite frustrating when something doesn't work the way you want it to. But sometimes I find it good to take a step back and see if I wasn't trying to force something that was never going to go my way. Niagara fluids atm still looks like it's under development, that's why they tag it as an experimental feature. I don't think anyone would want to build a game with an experimental functions. For cinematics, it could be a bit more forgiving. Best to see this as a glimpse of what is to come, not as a finished product. I could also bash Epic for hours on end for releasing less-than-perfect features and engine versions that are buggy and not stable etc. However at the same time I could thank them for being so open about what they are developing and sharing with the community as much as possible.
@@Flipside3D The systems are incredible, and look amazing. No doubt.. Just not user friendly or intuitive at all. 90% of UE5 is amazing but there is just no clarity on certain things like this
@@djtc2093 Oh yeah they need to do a LOT of work with the UE5 documentation. But I guess they are developing it at the same time. I think for those things we have to rely on the communities and forums who are generally very open and helpful.
The thing is that the "water height" is bound to World Scale and not relative to the Niagara Fluid Systems position, so you need to hard set the water height to the desired height in world space
Thank you for your breakdown video.

Ah yes i'm an idiot, it was staring me in the face lol. Thank you for pointing that out!

Just what I needed! Thank you!
Glad it's useful for you! Cheers
This was great. Thanks!
Thank you!!! it was really helpful!
Great. tutorial! It was easy to follow, could you make like an infinite fountain that will drop water and fill a room, with the same system?
There's a very similar Niagara sample that is right next to the flip pool one. Does exactly what you are describing.
Great video! Do you have any recommendations for mesh interactions involving floating or buoyancy for this plugin?
Hi Nathan sorry for the late reply, I'd not get your hopes up about doing anything substantial with this plugin just yet. If you need water and things floating on it, I'd stick to the traditional method. IME this thing is really experimental and very resource heavy atm
хороший урок, спасибо, друг. Но хотелось бы довершить до конца и сделать серфинг. Но для начала хорошо. Все получилось
glad it helped! I wish I could make something surf with this too man lol
Well done, Thank you, May I ask how to make the objects/mesh float on the water?
Hmm I haven't seen any examples with Niagara fluids system. But if you look up buoyancy, there's a lot of tutorials you can follow using the built in water system
Fx까지 와 대단하십니다
그냥 건드려보는 수준이에요 ㅋㅋ 감사합니다
anyway of making the water finer so it looks a bit more realistic?
thanks for your video! Have you found a solution to your project?
Thank you! Sorry I'm not sure what you mean by your question
@@Flipside3D Have you found a solution to your project?
Hey if you mean if I found a way to use it in a real project, unfortunately no. I think it will take some time for people to figure out how to make this more peformant and visually polished
@@Flipside3D I'm working on it too and I haven't found a solution.
I think we can't incorporate into an open world
@@ue5beginner248 No not yet I don't think.

Realistically I think it's very limited at the moment because of performance. As far as I can see it's simulating physics of every voxel and you can see the fps drop significantly when you increase the resolution.
Any Idea why the sim is rendered very slow? By that I mean the water moves slow ( not rendering time)...
when i try to add the fluim VFX my fps dros from 120 to 10. I simple cant do it but thanks for the video lol
Yeah it's a vram hog atm. What gpu are you using?
Is it possible to texture the water to look like lava, and build a channel for it to run through (say, using gravity to flow from one end of a track to another)? Or should I just try and use an animated texture on geometry?

did you figure out yet how to disable bounds for the sim so we can have full scale water falls or rivers ?
No I don't think you'd wanna do that with this even if it was possible. Would take up way too much vram. If that is really what you need, have a look at fluid flux plugin. Looks really good out of the box

how to fix missing bound or gpu incorrect code present some error like that, after adding fixed bound i see memory exhausted error
Memory exhausted probably means you dialed up something above what your machine can handle. Fluids is still a very experimental feature I think

any suggestions for how u can pour water into a scene ?
if it's a big scene, look at fluid flux
hey can i make a collider lkethe sphere a metahman? or do i need another settings for that?
whatever mesh that has collision will work theoretically
This feature still needs time to develop and iterate, there has been no huge revolution in the code algorithm of water, let's wait a little longer
It does feel that way, but honestly though superfun just playing with this and watching the water even now. I was picturing myself surfing it so many times lol
I'm trying to render out a Niagara fluid smoke sim and looks great in the view port but even with the settings you suggest it still renders out blank, pretty fraustrating
Even with the legacy renderer?
Yeah I solved it in the end by clicking a few different buttons to you. I needed to click the cinematic one I believe
Why does the water in the pool become less and less when I use it..
evaporation!
When I go to Niagara template, it shows nothing, it is empty
Hey, so that happens to me whenever I start a new project and forget to enable the niagara fluids plugin. Maybe double check that you have that plugin turned on?
