Fluid Flux - Real-time waterfall simulation [Unreal Engine] 

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.

Fluid Flux is really incredible. I wish more triple A games had water effects like this in them though.

This combined with particle effects will be nearly perfect.

FANTASTIC! Super excited to get the update! Thank you for your hard work.

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

Awesome. The slowmo when you jump is perfect also! Looks great.

this reminds me so much of the 'from dust' fluid dynamics, just scaled up and refined. excellent work, keep it up!

Wahou so cool! The waterfall look really nice and I love the way the water pushes through itself at the falling point.

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.

This the best fluid dynamics I have ever seen in realtime... wow

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

This is sick! Your water shader is so good it kicks up my fear of deep water :)

This is seriously so cool. Can't wait to see things like this in the next round of Unreal Games!

Well, that was unexpected. Looks amazing. Good job. I'm sure I'll be hunting for it on the some day soon.

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.

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

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.

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.

Thats really impressive i hope some big studios buy your product

“There is no way to prove that we are not living in a simulation” We aren’t there yet, but it is interesting to see each year how much closer we’re getting to not being able to differentiate reality from a virtual render. And each year that quote becomes more and more of a viable explanation to the world. Crazy stuff.

This looks so freaking good!

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!

Wow man🔥 Rocking simulation❤

This looks pretty darn gooud ma frieand!

OMG!!! Stunning effect!!!

If only this could run on a console perfectly.the sound was weird thoo but still super impressive.

Very cool! nice work.

That looks amazing

Great work keep it up be interesting to see the fps of that 😊

I love this tech demo :)

🤩good work bro !

This looks amazing.

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

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!!!

a kayaking game with these water physics would be enough for me.

The water's amazing, but that white robot is cool too.

Great job!

Wow, amazing.

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.

Fantastic!

Mindblowing. Looks so damn good dude.

This alone is asmr gold

Wow! I have no idea what I just watched.. BUT ITS AMAZING! O_O

It's the best water effect that I've seen since Waverace 64. (No joke)

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.

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!

200+ fps Either your PC is crazy or their implementation for this is insane

I still dont regret spending the money to purchase this . Keep up the good work bro.

fkn beautiful!😃

this would actually make a fun game.. you are a character running away from flood

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!

Flawless, keep working

Epic Games should just pay you to design their water system. This is awesome.

Such a cool system

Amazing!

It's Summer here in India and this video was just what I needed. Thanks and impressive.

beautiful

This is insane omg

Damn these fkn visuals, im looking forward to work in unreal

So beautifullll

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.

The visuals are stunning, however, I think you should work a bit on the sound. That does not sound like a waterfall but like a lovely small streamlet.

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.

This is amazing, I would definitely pick this us if the price were reduced by a factor of 10 😅

With the recent advancement in AI and computer graphics, we're slowly becoming the omniscient, omnipotent god that we've always hoped to have existed.

Insane.

Almost as realistic as waverace!

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!

best waterfall in games

Impressive

Awesome

Whoa nice tech. You made this?

*This guy is a genius*

Awesome!!! Now add some particles volumes and it'll be really Real...

Fascinating, how big can you make these waterfalls?

love the original water colour. looks fastantic, srsly, props. sound and movement not my thing but wow i stopped to look! rare

oooooohhhh DAMN!

Hola! Permites su reutilización con créditos?

Would also be cool if the water moved dirt and gravel and gets muddy then clears... closer to realism. Anyways u am impressed, I heard the emulating physics of water is still hard at work.

Finally!

That would be a great immersive effect in a video game. Escaping from a natural disaster or something like that. Cool.

THIS MUST BE implemented in Unreal engine 5. Period.

Nice work. Also how did you get your camera to pan around like that while in game ? Any tips or vids on how to set that up?

This is what I hope Star Citizen can achieve one day👌

Hey man, looks awesome. Why don't you use triplanar projection to get rid of this texture streaking on the vertical parts? :)

we sent a man to the moon 53 years ago and almost half a century later we still cant have video games that simulate water.

my hopes that we will someday soon have a good realistic whitewater kayaking game are increasing

Cool. All it needs now is mist and splashes.

Gettin there

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.

Hi dude ! First of all this plugin is amazing ! But i was wondering if there's any chance of one day you could make any discount, if yes , let me know, if you can of course ! Also Good work and keep going !!

Looks really good but cant tell is there mist/spray from water contacting rocks?

this will be a great update. though i'm seeing that texture repetition is still a problem.

Man if only it could generate its own audio xD tghat ius just spectacular, i cant tell u how many hours that would take m,e trying to make something similar in real life to those falls, on a minature scale...hours upon hours. How long it would take me to do this in unreal...days upon dayts... how long it would take to actually render, months if not years..

The plastic water bottle going downstream at the end was too much realism! 🥲

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.

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?

If the audio was right this would be twice as impressive

Can this work with sequencer and be triggered on a keyframe?

This is amazing! What are your system specs? Quite impressed to see something like this running at 240+ fps =D
