Wow. Epic would be seriously missing out if they don't buy this from you and integrate it as part of the engine's fluids update. This and Dynamic Sky are systems that should be included with the Engine.

He's getting 240+ FPS throughout this sim. Even on the highest end GPUs / CPUs that's pretty impressive for what this is, so it should scale pretty easily to at least 60 FPS on midrange / console hardware.
It is a great asset. One of my favorites (that I can't afford) The only criticism I have of Fluid Flux is the sound. There is just not enough contextual variation to it. Other than that, I love it.
Yea, if this is the sound design coded into Fluid Flux then it is horrible. Is there no way you can mess with it's sound properties? Like what sounds to use, what radius and volume to apply for when it reaches a certain mass or speed. I guess a work around would just be to disable the sound and just use your own ambient sound triggers.
The underwater bit of the waterfall is what blew my mind, if this plugin isn't too performance heavy you can count on another customer getting this soon This is incredible
So just wanna say right now, that the only thing miss is splashes of water that come off when hitting the surface but other than that I'm proud to say this is worth every last damn penny I spent on it. Good work mate.
I seriously cannot wait to start experimenting more with unreal engine 5 , I started off with unreal editor for Fortnite but I just found it was pretty buggy and there was too many limitations for what I wanted to achieve so I installed unreal engine 5 and so far I’m loving it and can’t wait to learn more.
This is looking amazing! Will you be doing an in depth tutorial on how to set everything up and use the plugin for different use cases? I haven't found much in the way of tutorials on how anything in the plugin works, except a few that show you how to set an area and the water flow. We need more detailed setup info, and how to use it for different scenarios, how to do things like have the flow going already when you start a scene, what all the parameters do, etc. Thanks for all of your hard work!
Naive to think that this will be shared. Payed developers works months, no, yerars to gather enough knowledge to create something like this. Due the fact that they are paid by a company they are not allowed to share all details. Think about it. Imagine a company that pays developer to creating something like this and than they share all details ...
Unbelievable, just place some niagara effects on splashes, or probably some fluid ninja live mist near the turbulence, and you have the best water vfx now
I'm pre-intermediate in large scale flipfuid sim in Houdini. I'm really surprised how good this technique works in UE. I tried the demo. I noticed, that 'Slow mo' mode gives waterfall much more naturailty... in my opinion the water flow is globally a bit fast. Sometimes, specially in beach level i feel some scale disproportions. I miss some haze in waterfall, ...it could be tweaked by adding some falling smoke etc. And of course more splashes in contact with rocks, or water to water. However, it looks awesome, starting to be very close to reality. I'm really impressed.
Thoughts on changing the viscosity and mass of the water to resemble lava flow... Can you make the water roll like lava does in thick formations? Would be very interesting to see that...
There is no physically correct viscosity parameter but effects like this can be faked by changing some simulation settings. The volcano example map is also in my plans :)
@@ImaginaryBlend Well whatever method you found to model fluids is work well. Simulations take on a wide range of implementations for all sorts of meshes that move. I can only guess you are moving the z params of a mesh and textures. Regardless, I look forward to seeing other ideas like this. Great work and great content.
Omg, this water system looks so amazing and impressive! You've done a really nice job on this! I wished I could create something like this on my own or at least I would buy your plugin if I could afford it.
This is very good, the eddies are simulated nearly perfectly, but the interaction of the flow with obstacles and the way the water behaves in holes and with underwater obstacles isn't quite there yet - this may be simply due to the resolution of the particle simulation, but It looks to me that the water is too dense and each particle has a lot more drag than would be expected. The hole under the waterfall is nice to see, but you would expect it to be quite a bit larger with significantly more towback. it feels as if the velocity of the water falls off dramatically, which should be expected initially but should rapidly increase past the aerated section below the falls.
I hope more people make movies and games. We wouldn't have to wait on game studios to play best games. This is awesome and I bet it's made by one or two people.
When you start to recognize the individual rocks from mega scans because you used them in the past and seen them to often all over the place you know they are overused. But nice work. One small thing to add, do not use DOF for far shots, dof is always, and really always, for closeups.
Have you considered using some kind of quad-tree like structure that increases the resolution of the simulation where it's needed (e.g. the water going over the waterfall), and reduces the resolution where it's not (e.g. the upstream river)? Great work, looks amazing!
This looks awesome! If only it was emitting particles in the white of the water. Nothing crazy, just add some particle sprites to simulate mist! Great work!!!
I hope unreal engine will improve more and more in the future. It looks great but i heard its hard to create good immersive quests like in rpg games or physical interactions are often very limited too. Unlike the creation engine were you can interact with most objects in the world. I miss that details in most current unreal engine games.
at what point can we just rename it to Real Engine. :P sure, years ago it was unreal, but now with stuff like this, nanite and their character creator it is getting pretty damn realistic!
Wow fantastic! Been waiting for so long! haha. Can you control the scale? To me the ripples and waves looks a little too big compared to the actor puppet but great job!
Can you please tell me is it realtime changing water flow (real life physics that changes through the conditions and physics) or have a specific animation???? 😢
my man, finally an update and waterfalls as I asked for it, all I dreamed about! Looking forward to this one! Will work with 5.2 once you release the update?

Could the same concept used for this also work for things like snow and sand? If so it could be used to simulate things like sand dunes, avalanches, land slides and much more. Especially if you combined the two, it would be the ultimate erosion simulator.
@@ImaginaryBlend Thanks for the answer. I have some more questions it would be great if you can help me. When I create a waterfall the falling water looks always completly stretched with no details at all. It is just a white texture. I thought maybe my waterfall is to sharp. But you show in this video that this shouldn't be a problem.In your example a lot of nice details are shown in the falling water.Is there any setting to change that? And is there any setting to let the water out of the boundary box,so that the boundary box is not filling up.I want to make a waterfall with a little lake in front but the water is not stopping to go up when the lake is full and flood the rest of the environment.
Sir, I have already purchased Fluid Flux 5.4 version but unable to make character Swim. Some suggest I should buy 'swim component' from yummy games on UE marketplace... so there is certain confusion about it. How have you managed to make the character swim?

okay, unreal just won me over. I mean this is truly ground breaking. Haven't seen a breakthrough like this in a long time

That looks like a breakthrough in video game development. I can imagine older games can't have this kind of waterfalls.

You are right and I definitelly will :)
If only this could run on a console perfectly.the sound was weird thoo but still super impressive.
Mindblowing. Looks so damn good dude.
this would actually make a fun game.. you are a character running away from flood
It's the best water effect that I've seen since Waverace 64. (No joke)
This looks pretty darn gooud ma frieand!

Can this work with sequencer and be triggered on a keyframe?
Can the flow been sped up? Seemed kinda slow moving towards the waterfall
