I would love to make my own Meditation Videos for my songs, just short ones with water, but UE5 water system is not really as realistic as hoped - only if you pay 400 Dollar ... for a plugin... which i find very expensive ... Is there a better way to make realistic water? Houdini can make it very realistic - but you need very deep knowhow and its also not free.
It is steel better stay on UE 4.2X with Flex physics plugin if you wanna get realistic realtime physics in your project, even if you run on RTX 40XX as we can see on the video, it runs on 4090 and it's not playable yet, 50-60 fps with sometime falls at 20-30 fps, I think 4090 & Flex give us 70-90 fps, need to check but I don't have 4090.
And do what with it exactly? Embergen is for offline use only - it's not designed for real time. It's also its own program, so it wouldn't really be possible to integrate it into unreal anyway.
Man i can't wait to see the future of unreal 5 , the animation company im working in has completely moved to unreal engine from maya, for modeling , sculpting we've moved to blender from maya . I hope you all have eaten and are safe in these times .
I am currently working on Unity 2021 with my game but it is limited in performance. On my dev rig when UE 5 have 120 fps unity can drops to 30 on almost empty scene. I am seriously thinking to switch to UE5 when it will be production ready.
@@LukiGames0 I'm using both UE5 and Unity, and when you get 30fps in Unity on an empty scene you probably have set vsync to 30fps, Unity is in general better with performance, because it has a less complex shader pipeline.
I was playing games since Duke Nukem 3D. I would never even think about possibility, that realtime fluid simulation will be included púart of free game making engine. I feel old and best in my life :D
Man.. I can't fking wait to see volumetric smoke, explosion simulations in future games 😍 I would really want a Battlefield game with these effects! The explosions and destruction with the smoke and explosion effects from this video would be insane.
One thing that I would absolutely love to see, is integration of this, or some sort of Niagara particle system that adds either flow maps, or fluid sim into the water body system or custom water body. I have so many issues trying to figure out how to add beach foam, or short foam to water. I'm an environment artist, and haven't explored this side of Unreal Engine much.
For Peope who cant find these simulations after enabling and restarting the project Go to Content browser----> in top right of content browser click on Settings Icon-----> click on checkmark to left of prompts tos Show Engine content and plugin content in the dropdown Now look at the folders on the left side and search for Niagra Fluids Content and they should pop up
It looked like you had an issue with the water updating maybe due to moving them around with grid-snapping. The water boxes could be struggling to behave properly when they're told to jump like that. Feed it a smoother input band with no grid-snap and it might display better results...
the last one, 2D splash, is 2 2D simulation a first one vertically that is move away from the emitter, then one horizontal that create the illusion of the first one colliding with the floor Great trick They seem cool but pretty ugly and hardware intensive, maybe good enough for background UE cinematography
Fluid simulation themselves seem very niche in their use case BUT, if it is at all possible to bake it into EXR or even better yet VDB, a lot more can be done with the simulations for a lot better performance. This could pose as a serious competitor to embergen.
Also, we have a new mode in 5.0 that let's you bake Niagara sims (and hence these fluid sims too) into flipbooks. In the Project Settings - search for "Enable Baker". Check that true, then you can see a button for the Baker in the Niagara editor.
@@devonpenney272 Will there be a feature that allows you to spawn particles and have them smoothly move along the surface of a dynamic or skinned mesh? A bit unrelated, but I would also like to see mipmaps for the scene color gbuffer texture (for frosted glass, etc.)

Does anyone know of a good tutorial how to do tidal waves. I have an island and the ocean around it looks soooo fake and the waves just bounce up and down - which makes no sense next to a beach. Is it something I need to animate or add wind to the ocean or something like that to create the shore wave effect?
Look at Oceanology. From there you could code a tidal wave. If you want Realtime fluid simulations with physical attributions, you will need to create destructible meshes that react to the force created by the waves OR use something like Voxel Technology. If you do not want to do super real life looking water simulations, you could use a wave mesh with an animated material and programmatically move it. This would look slightly strange if not executed well but would save you time in creating a quick and easy destruction wave that can affect physics actors in the level. My personal recommendation is to use Oceanology 5, paired with some form of water physics that you code (or there are some great free projects on GitHub for this) and programmatically alter the water in sequence to create the tidal wave affect. The physics portion of the task will simulate destruction for you, so long as you set your destructible meshes to react accordingly (set their damage tolerance low). I have done something like this with Oceanology 5 and my own physics set up using Apex at first and now Chaos. The waves can wipe out towns, trees and more. The physics set up is quite in-depth though and I use a few tricks to make it work properly and smoothly. I can run it on large scale but full disclosure I have an Nvidia RTX 3090 + AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core Processor + 128Gbs of Ram - all of which are liquid cooled. destroying an entire open world in real time takes a lot but is doable. If you are not looking for destruction, then Oceanology 5 is the go-to create a tidal wave for the sake of having that visual. You will need to do some work though as it does not support tidal waves out of the box. As I come to the end of writing all this, I do note that you said tidal wave and it clicked that tidal waves ARE NOT tsunamis haha. If it is pure tidal waves that you are after, Oceanology is the answer. That is working out of the box.
yea, don't expect that. This is a very basic low res sim (as it needs to be to stay real-time). To look real you would need millions of times the fluid resolution and foam particles. Doing a reasonable-looking beach sim even with something like pheonix fd in 3ds max, will take you many hours to simulate (not to mention a huge amount of ram), and then often days to render. You would probably be better off doing a sim in pheonix or something, and exporting the resultant mesh, and faking the foam with textures (trying to keep the camera far enough away to keep the illusion)... maybe even using niagra to fake the foam a bit.
Very cool but kinda sad the state of the UE5 release and the water plugin. Fluid sim is probably the future, but...can we just have stabe now-tech before having unstable future-tech lmao
When you say RealTime... how many milliseconds per frame is taking and which GPU is using? Normally when including these kind of effects you dont have more than 2ms budget per frame.
It's seems you right, owner of the channel run it on 4090 and get only 50-60 fps with sometimes falls at 20-30 fps, so, I think for those who wanna develop game/art with realistic physics on RTX 40XX it steel better use UE 4.2X & Flex physics plugin, intresting how much fps we can get on it, I suppose about 70-80 fps with falls to 50 fps maximum.
I dont see any of these new options in my Unreal 5 plugins. Do i need to reinstall UE5? Looking for the new open world and fluid systems but dont see them. Thank you!
@@sqwert654 All right, am gonna test a project with these effects, and I really hope it is in stereoscope....otherwise it will be very disappointing :S

I think the white stuff from the water are bubbles or water foam
Yeah. There is a separate emitter in the liquid system that emits foam/bubble/spray particles basic on how swirly the water is.
Thanks for the video mate!
Awesome video, thank you! Keep up the content :)
The smoke can be used so well in space Sims for nebulae and gas clouds
The white particles in the sim are air bubbles/foam I think, without high particle resolution it would look odd like this.
I am less fan of water, the smoke and dust is awsome.
Wonder if it's possible to edit the properties of the sim to have more/less viscous liquid. The fire looks amazing!
the last one, 2D splash, is 2 2D simulation a first one vertically that is move away from the emitter, then one horizontal that create the illusion of the first one colliding with the floor
