      I did not even get past the how to install before i jumped to the Marketplace to buy it 🤩😍 I really think it is weird that Epic has not made something like this as a source asset.
      It should have been in the same list as were you find heightfog :) Thank you for sharing this for such a good price...

    The true potential of EZ fog is when used to kit bash far distant clouds at the horizon and just above it. At those distances the volumes are not important but the elegance of it is. Perfect for making that dreamy distant lands of clouds and ideas. Especially when adding a sunset light to it, like golden yellow or pink orange.

    This is very nicely executed. I am using it for a game with underground levels, so I had to tweak the settings quite a bit to get a decent effect, but I think it looks a fair bit more natural than the noise-based solution I had before.

      @Bagoli_287 Год назад

      Does the density and appearance of it change drastically when you adjust your Engine Scalability Settings up or down/ in-game graphics settings? I'm looking for fog that wouldn't become more or less opaque or dense depending on the graphical settings

    William is the man. He's done exactly what I as a designer would like to see in unreal. Easy CGI, no back coding or complicated setups. Using Niagara is so daunting and has interfered with my team project just trying to get it to behave properly. this is perfect timing and such a relief! Adding an easily accessible opacity and wind settings is a designers dream for smoke assets!
    Now my team and I can move forward with our project because of this great innovation. Easy FOG! and it can be used in so many creative ways, as Steam, clouds, fog, gas, anything!

    With his guidance, the unreal comes to life,
    Bringing new worlds with endless strife,

    This is superb! I've already implemented it in the current work I'm doing at my studio. The tool is great! One thing I'm missing is small scale dust clouds (figured maybe I can make my own). Another feature that would be perfect is the abilty to fade the edges. Maybe this can be done by having a feathered circle as a Multiply to the opacity map. This would make it easy to scale and translate the position of the circle with parameters in the blueprint. This would really benefit the illusion of volumetric fog that is lit up by i.e. a point light, making it so the fog is only visible around the light. Great work!

    @KingKong19100 Год назад +3

    Amazing job with this William! I have been looking for something like this in Unreal for a LONG time! I would love to see more products from you!
    As someone who renders cinematics and uses a Blender-To-Unreal Engine workflow, I use a lot of 2D Image Sequences as Planes. This includes transparency and sometimes emission for materials involving fire or explosions. I'd love to see maybe a blueprint much like this but where you can input a Base Texture for either a transparent video (ActionVFX Assets) or an Image Sequence. Much like with Easy Fog what would work well is Geometry and Camera Fade Distances, your Wind Speed tools, an option for the Normal Maps (which could work for people who know how to convert our Videos/Image Sequences to Normal Maps), options for Emission, and maybe even a color ramp or threshold-esque value that can act as a way to mask out what will be emissive and what will not be emissive (which can work really well for explosions and smoke/fire fx). And since people will most likely utilize this with sequencer, having an option to set up a starting keyframe to being the sequence, option to loop, or option to speed/slow down would make it the perfect tool for cinematics! I think this would make for an excellent asset and shouldn't be much different from the base you've set up with EasyFog!
    This has been the biggest issue for me using Unreal as it's just not as easy to set this up as it is in Blender. In Blender it's just a few clicks while in Unreal it involves coding, scripting, setting up Blueprints, etc. It's a HUGE hassle so I'd love to see a tool like this sometime soon! Amazing job with EasyFog, Will! Looking forward to anything else you put out!
