best purchase on the UE marketplace! id almost consider it a default purchase if you dont plan to spend thousands of hours to build something like that yourself. the dev keeps on improving it all the time for years now..and it shows...its polished....its drag and drop easy to implement....and the price...i feel like it should be actually higher for what we get.
I've had this plugin for about a year now, it's the first thing I add when I start a new project lol, it's absolutely beautiful looking , especially the night sky, plus it has weather!...Anybody on the fence about buying this, it's a no brainer, worth every penny, plus it's constantly updated!
I'm impressed of how far this has became this is one of the best and most advanced tools on the marketplace I wish also you can make a demo covering the movie render queue tricks i found It's a bit tricky as i tend to get unexpected results in render specially when i use weather
The best ever!!! All dreams come true with this asset!!! This asset have literally everything what creators can imagine and even beyond imagination to create the best triple of triple AAA games ever!!
Hi guys, When Im dragging the the Blue print from content browser to the scene, I cant change the sun sky high ETC, why is that? Its as if the settings are locked - any way to change this? also should there be more than 1 BLUEPRINT?
I don't know what clone armor is myself. If you get in touch at the support email with images of the material graph you're trying to add to, I might be able to help.
@@everettgunther929 I've figured it out myself and let me tell you this is truly as masterpiece is it possible to add rain droplets to textures using your plugin?
@@makeandkraftstudios There are material functions for rain droplets on surfaces, sure. I'd recommend reading the entries in the Material Effects section of the weather category, in the Readme.
@@everettgunther929 Well the second layer it will be cirrus like clouds... But also a question, is there a cirrus type of clouds? I'll make it 2D for second layer, main layer is volumetrics.
@@cg.man_aka_kevin A cheap and simple 2D layer of high altitude clouds in the sky material is enabled by default, yes. It's called the Cloud Wisps. I show that in the video at 6:10
Aren't there any plans for any future projects as good as this... I mean I'd be happy to see something competing with FLUID FLUX with the same amount of craftsmanship as this project and at a lower price 😁 ... and the integration between the projects you will produce and this wonderful project
If the asset isn't there, it would have to be an older release of UDS before it existed? I'd suggest removing UDS from the project and adding again from the launcher, using Remove Local Content before, to force the launcher to redownload.
Fantastic. How do I have the rain/snow cover my entire landscape of scale the radius as when I drag in my weather, it only shows particles in one small area.? Thanks
Thanks! We've waited it a long time :) Can you please explain how to use Weather Interaction system ont only with landscape material, but also with the basic material?
What you're thinking of, which levels typically have hundreds of, are material instances. Material instances inherit their logic from a master. These material effects would only need to be added to master materials, which there should only be a small number of for scenery assets, shared across a whole project.
Thanks for sharing this video! I bought UDS some months ago, but haven't tried it out since then. Is it meanwhile possible to create multiple regions with individual weather as well as day & night conditions?
Thank you so much for these amazing blueprints! I've just updated my survival game project with the latest version of Ultra Dynamic Sky, and it looks incredible. However, I noticed that I don't have the Volumetric Fog F3 options that are shown at 7:41 in the video. Am I missing an activation step, or is the version used in this video different from the latest version available on the marketplace? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The volumetric fog category has been there since V7, and is still there in V8, yes. Are you maybe in UE4? The last UDS release for UE4 was V6. This video covers the current UE5 release.
@@everettgunther929 I am using version 5.4.3. I mistakenly looked for the fog options in Ultra_Dynamic_Weather, but I now realize they are actually in Ultra_Dynamic_Sky. Sorry for the confusion.
Hi, It looks like some the settings for weather effect are having issues, the clouds go dark and on screen effect for water looks stretched, cold effect is fine , when applying rain effects, heavy snow and snow but light snow the clouds are normal.
Get in touch at the support email with screenshots and details of the project, and I can help figure out what you're running into specifically. That's support@ultradynamicsky.com
Like the color/intensity of the light? Sure, those are exposed to cinematics so you can keyframe them from a sequence. If you mean the angle of the light, that's also doable. Time of Day and other methods of moving the sun can be keyframed from a sequence.
I would suggest looking into stencil clip layers, an option in the movie render queue. It's for rendering a scene normally, but clipping specific layers out of the alpha.
Note I have the weather there set to Foggy. The ground fog extinction comes from Fog, Dust, Rain and Snow values, using the extinction settings exposed there. Also make sure you don't have the editor scalability set low/medium. The engine disables volumetric fog on low settings.
In my project, the weather effect function doesn't work on foliage. Do you know why? I don't have any problems with the same meshes elsewhere, and it works well on the landscape too.
Surface Weather Effects on instanced foliage meshes? It should work without issue. Get in touch at the support email with more details and screenshots of the material setup and I can help troubleshoot. That's support@ultradynamicsky.com
Awesome product. Are there events for when daytime switches from day to night? Im trying to run code in some other BP when daytime changes from day to night.
Definitely make sure you're not using the Fab plugin to add to an unsupported version (like 5.5). The fab plugin as of now has no failsafe for that and just adds the oldest possible release of the asset files (for UE 4.8 in the case of UDS) You can use the launcher to add to 5.5 and it will prompt you to select the release you want to add.
Just bought this bad bitch yesterday and I think I robbed you. It instantly made my game look like a next gen remaster of how it looked previously. It wasn't just the sky; the lighting improved all aspects of my visuals. Very easy to use too. Worth way more than what I spent. 😅
No, it's not something the path tracer is completely capable of. UDS' path tracer support works around this by having the lights dim down globally in high cloud coverage.
The effect will render into the infinite distance on its own. I would say make sure your landscape mesh isn't being swapped for something else in the distance like an HLOD.
I'm not sure what you might mean without more details. You're trying to use the dust particles and snow particles together in some way? Get in touch at the support email with more info and I can probably help.
This is one of the best assets in the Marketplace!!
Correction, it's one of the _essential_ assets in the Marketplace
For me it is the best!
big facts almost everyone has this asset in there library....
This is the best blueprint asset on the marketplace. The implementation is so easy for something that is so complexed.
One of my best assets to take my scenes (the flying man) to the next level... ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Just bought this and I've gotta say this is a mandatory plugin that every single one of you HAS TO own. It's truly amazing, thank you Everett!
This is the first plugin i bought after i learn UE, and i still use it for each project. Absolutely Perfect
how to you add the plugin to your scene?
omg bought it for 4.26 and still the best plugin/content out there - thank you everett!!!! you are the best creator
First plugin I officially bought for Unreal after hearing SO MANY good things everywhere. Hoping for the best!! Thanks for the plugin folks!
3:26 this is the only feature I was waiting for!! FINALLY
Amen lol
was waiting for it aswell
I can't believe he had 1:45 I didn't even know you could make an aurora that amazingly vibrant and expansive it's like real life
I got this a few years back and have created hundreds of Amazing Levels with it! The Best Sky/Weather System on the UE Marketplace! 5 Stars! 💯
I am so excited seeing this video pop-up on my feed right now!! Now let's watch
Not only fantastic, but also well documented and supported.
I bought this and its definitely my most widely used asset in Unreal Engine 5! Excelent job sir!
Thank you Everett for making UDS even better and powerful!
This is sincerely impressive, i can't thank you enough for your hard work !
Best asset on the marketplace by far, thank you so much for this amazing tool!
that's one of the most insane blueprint pack I've ever seen. Best plugin on the market and it's so affordable!
Truly one of the best products ever. Thank you for making this.
This changed my game in the best way, and it did it instantly. Best UE purchase I've made. THANK YOU!!!!

Best asset in the Marketplace. Very detailed and always gets updated. Worth every penny
It's great that once you make materials interact-able, the sounds when moving through snow/rain is automatically added (footsteps)

This is epic. Outstanding work.
This asset should be part of the engine in my opinion. This is a must have for any project
I love this and use it all the time!
Give this man a Award!
Currently the best plugin I have ever bought in UE4
The best ever!!! All dreams come true with this asset!!! This asset have literally everything what creators can imagine and even beyond imagination to create the best triple of triple AAA games ever!!
In my opinion one of the best Marketplace contents and the developer is incredibly good and helpful.
This is some kind of magic! It was scary to even dream about such a plugin. THANK YOU for your hard work! ✨😎👍🌞🙌
The best purchase I ever made on the Epic store.
Since it first came out, I use this in almost every video I make. Perfect.
Amazing asset! You make me look like a pro, and all I do is drag and drop! Thank you!
Insanely impressive, and very reasonably priced.
10/10 The only downloadable system I trust to handle my exterior environment lighting
i loove the intro music, its so good
Everett Gunther the king of asset updates
Best purchase I've ever made!
The Radial Storm effect. OMG! 😍😍😍😍
Every time I open UE5 there's an update for this. Hands down the best 40 bucks I ever spent
Thank you for this asset. Its amazing.
truly insane in the best way possible 🙌
Tremendous work Everett!!! :)
Fantastic plugin.
Ive regretted buying some assets in the marketplace but never this one. Its amazing!
This is truly fantastic wish I had found it earlier!

dude only 20$ in marketplace WTF thats a gift! Thanks!
Ealisy the best plugin on the marketplace.
Thank you for this amazing product.
Thanks for all the hard work, this is easily the best UE investment possible.
Most powerful assets for weather
And it all started with the Magic Weather in Shenmue, in 1999! :D
Concerned for performance... going to test this!
There's a reason your UDS volumetric cloud blueprints are the top dog in the UE marketplace.
14:31 would this work the same for clone armor I'm currently following the guide but keep messing up the texture.

it just looks amazing!
you really need to shout out your discord more .. its a treasure trove of great info!
just purchased this after a loooooottt of consideration, but not gonna lie, instantly after placing it in my scene it looks better bruhh
Absolutely going to be using this in my project
Love it❤ ❤❤❤❤Thanks
Yo, This is FUCKING CRAZY MAN! Best asset i've ever purchased.
Can I add more than one layer of clouds?
There is an option for a second layer, offset in a few ways from the first. Note of course it does double the cost of cloud rendering.

the GOAT of assets
How can we do this with Brushify landscapes? I've been trying for days and it won't work, even though they recommend using UDS.

Thanks! We've waited it a long time :)
Can you please explain how to use Weather Interaction system ont only with landscape material, but also with the basic material?
You can use the DLWE function on a non landscape, if the mesh is a good fit for it. There are notes about that in the DLWE entry in the documentation.
@@everettgunther929 Thanks for respond, will look for it
Usually maps have hundreds of different materials on it's meshes. Do you expect each buyer to manually change all of them to work with your pack?
What you're thinking of, which levels typically have hundreds of, are material instances. Material instances inherit their logic from a master. These material effects would only need to be added to master materials, which there should only be a small number of for scenery assets, shared across a whole project.

Sure. There wouldn't be any incompatibility there that I know of.
Awesome is there a way to change the sunlight during an animation?

If you mean the angle of the light, that's also doable. Time of Day and other methods of moving the sun can be keyframed from a sequence.

I would suggest looking into stencil clip layers, an option in the movie render queue. It's for rendering a scene normally, but clipping specific layers out of the alpha.
In my case the "Render Ground Fog" doesn't do anything. I have the settings exactly like at 7:49. Any hints? Thanks.
Note I have the weather there set to Foggy. The ground fog extinction comes from Fog, Dust, Rain and Snow values, using the extinction settings exposed there.
Also make sure you don't have the editor scalability set low/medium. The engine disables volumetric fog on low settings.

Overall best plugin for UE5 in my opinion.
At 8:30 - Would be cool to have a moving video footage for the planets to see the ripples on Jupiter for example.
It would be nice to see a setting to optimize for vr. The lighting is iffy with lightning enabled and the rain drops hitting the ground need some work
Amazing video, well done!
how do I enable volumetric fog while using ultra dynamic sky?
The toggle is exposed in UDS' volumetric fog category. Shown in the video at 7:41
Awesome product. Are there events for when daytime switches from day to night? Im trying to run code in some other BP when daytime changes from day to night.
Yes, UDS has event dispatchers for sunset and sunrise you can bind to.

Can't seem to make the snow landscape effect render in far off distances -- draw distance is an issue for me here I think
The effect will render into the infinite distance on its own.
I would say make sure your landscape mesh isn't being swapped for something else in the distance like an HLOD.
How do I get the desert sand effect without breaking the snow effect? It's the only thing missing for this asset to be PERFECT!
