Mostly by playing with different values in the Sky Atmosphere actor. You can get some really varied and great results! To make the sun itself much bigger, on your Directional Light actor increase the Source Angle parameter.

@@artspam7884 Yes, if you're able to comfortably run the default volumetric fog it will also run Ultra Volumetrics volumes =)

@@itsmebvg Impressive

Thank you, that's very kind of you! I'm glad you like it!

Yes, it's compatible with Ultra Dynamic Sky =) In the first video of the tutorial series (getting started), at the end there is a little segment about using it with Ultra Dynamic Sky.

@itsmebvg ah OK brilliant! One more question,cud I use this instead of UDS? IT Looks really good!!

@@NatesPlayzGamez No, it's not a complete weather system like UDS. Its primary focus is fog. Thanks!

@itsmebvg mate I'm sorry I'm an absolute butthead. I left a comment on another video this morning about a sky thing,and I'm so tired I thought I was commenting on that ..ffs lol. Anyway,fog system looks awesome man!!

@@NatesPlayzGamez Haha no worries mate! Thanks!

Hey! There's a few things it could be. Make sure that volumetric fog is turned on in the exponential height fog actor and that shadows is set to high. For an easier explanation watch the first tutorial video - Getting started: ruclips.net/video/e3Ttyh5q_ps/видео.htmlsi=4K9wP3oNKgsteqbz Let me know if you can't get it to work after that, good luck!

@@itsmebvg thank you sir, ı learned

Thank you, happy you like it!

That sounds very familiar unfortunately 🥲 What were you searching for? Maybe I can improve some keywords or tags so it's easier to find =)

oh nvm it is compatible lol i didnt watch the whole vid

Yes, add the character or object with the third person component to sequencer and you're good to go! If you need any help let me know =)

Hi, glad you like it! I'm not entirely sure what you mean, can you show me an example? =) If you mean specifically in this third person example, then it could be that the radius of the third person component is large enough to reach the camera. Otherwise there are also some settings to check in the Exponential height fog where you'll find a start distance and fade distance in the volumetric fog section, make sure those are 0 as well.

It's quite optimized, especially if you decrease the overall volumetric fog quality. But it depends on what you're creating and which platform you are targeting. To be on the safe side, I wouldn't recommend it for mobile games. But volumetric fog in general is probably not recommended for that either. Let me know if you want more info!

Update has been submitted! You can probably expect to see it somewhere in the coming days =)

I considered it, but adding another component and setting up the logic would've been more steps. But perhaps it would've been a better example. Appreciate the suggestion, thanks!

Thank you! Glad that they're useful, best to you as well!

Yes, this is more of a stylistic choice and can be turned off/lowered. Sometimes fog can look rather dull when there isn't much geometry that casts volumetric shadows onto the fog. For the purpose of these videos i've also greatly exaggerated the fog opacity which makes it resemble smoke, which can be a use case. I've used it in a video i'll be releasing soon to resemble smoke from a fire in a burning building. It can also resemble a gas of some kind, with a creative mind you could probably come up with more use cases.

@@itsmebvg I'll have to try it out!

Certainly! Though that kind of integration with UDS is not included out of the box. You can however update Ultra Volumetrics actors during runtime by calling the UpdateParameters function. If you can grab the time of day from UDS it would be quite easy to do, all you have to do is change the Opacity and Panning speed parameters at the right time.

@@itsmebvg Thank you! I'm thinking of adding fog to my water at night

@@wco3095 Sounds like an awesome idea! Once all the base tutorials are out i'll create some additional tutorials that go over things like you mentioned.

@@itsmebvg that's awesome thank you very much for that

Hope you'll find it useful!

Hi, thanks! Unfortunately the engine doesn't support it yet. Let's hope Unreal Engine 5.4 support it =)

@@itsmebvg That would be amazing, great tool!

Hi! Yes, certainly! You can adjust the 'Far Fade Distance' parameter on an Ultra Volumetrics actor but more importantly in the Exponential Height Fog actor there is a parameter called 'View Distance' in the volumetric fog section and that parameter determines the view distance for all volumetric fog. By default it is set to 6000 and I recommend not pushing this too high as it will decrease performance and volumetric fog quality. Good luck!

@@itsmebvg worked! Thanks!

Hi! Most likely it's either still compiling shaders or something relating to volumetric fog hadn't been activated. Make sure that 'Volumetric fog' is turned on in the Exponential height fogband that shadow quality is set to High in the scalability settings. Let me know if you require more assistance! Good luck

@@itsmebvg have you uploaded some kind of tutorial somewhere ?

@@Greacus Video tutorials are coming very soon as well as an update. For now there is documentation here: docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/e/2PACX-1vTCkZpyrCGGjGh9H4jcAHz0omPYUkJGWRbbgtgvk_ir5NhAOUBZDyGOyevT2hbr1VQxZ70i1ckCq0EB/pub

Currently there is documentation (link is on the marketplace as well) and i'm working on various tutorials that tie into the upcoming update. Working hard to get it done but if you want to learn about anything specific don't hesitate to ask! If you use Discord you're also welcome to join and ask questions there.@@Greacus

Discord link ?@@itsmebvg

Video tutorials will be finished either upcoming week or the week after that. After that you can decide if it's something you could use or not =) Thanks for your interest and kind words and good luck with your UE journey!

@vg Excellent & thank you, I'll look forward to it! I'm only a few weeks into binging tutorials, it may be a long journey, UE does everything =)

It works in 5.3, what problem are you having?

Awesome! Hope you like it! If you have any questions or feature ideas let me know =)

Glad you like! Are you sure that there is an exponential height fog actor in your level with volumetric fog turned on? Take a look at the documentation to be sure you followed the correct steps.

Thank you! For smoke grenades it's perfect! I'm currently working on a Counter Strike 2 style smoke grenade. You could use it for bullet hits but it's a bit heavy handed I would say and probably not good for performance.

I can't promise that it will but since it's a feature that is often requested I'd like to add it at some point if I can make it performance friendly! Thanks for your question!

Hi! I really like the performance of 5.2 in general, it is much faster than 5.1. Sounds like an interesting project you're working on! Feel free to navigate to the marketplace page (link in description) and download a small demo to see some exaggerated examples of it in action. Thanks for your interest!

Thanks for your interest, you can find it here: www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/ultra-volumetrics

Thank you! Appreciate it! Watched many of your videos over the years, extraordinary stuff and very helpful!

Hi there! Yes, all the fog in this video are version 2.0
