Best Unreal Engine 5 Water Plugin! (Oceanology 5.1.7-Getting Started) Pt. 1

[@Igor3D]

Awesome update deserved awesome video! Thank you. Wish OC guys make more effort covering their own plugin with such a good videos.

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

That is getting an upgrade as well. The OC guys are listening and I'm here to help scratch that itch. And thank you for the encouragement.

[@itsmishki7005]

I like how you just cut where we should get rid of the foam lol, now im stuck haha

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

I'm sorry for that. Side tracked with my game paper planes and the steam planes, trains and automobiles fest. I will get that done in the next day or so for sure.

[@kuropebbles9763]

Keep up the good work! When I'm able to check out the plugin I'm definitely using your video as my starting point!

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

Thanks. I should have the rest of the RVT part 2 up shortly!

[@seyff367]

My goodness, you really put a lot of effort into this! Keep up the good work!

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

Thank you so much!

[@Shodan-0101]

Thank you Levi for this great video!!!

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

For sure! It is a great system and a lot of fun to mess with.

[@amjedal-suleimani2217]

Nice tool, wish I could afford it

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

I have 2 keys to give away in a few weeks. Make sure to keep up with this channel and you might win one :)

[@sirduncan2163]

Thank you for the video, learned a lot

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

That's awesome. Thanks for watching. The next part will be out about the same time next week.

[@Cpt.Tripps]

Very informative video and a great plugin. Have had my eye on it for some time now.

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

Thank you so much. It is a lot of fun to play with and takes a lot of the guess work out. Any plugin that helps me without having to learn a whole new super complicated system is a winner. More time to create.

[@Amor2point0]

This is an amazing tutorial, thank you so much for the time. Do you have a gaea tutorial coming up?

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

That is not planned. We are doing a series on Errant Worlds plugin for world building right now.

[@RedShark493]

Just to let you also know, for the 26:01 there is no need for smoothing if you just change the height and size of the mountains etc by their brush settings instead of scaling them in the editor. I just discovered that while I was playing with it. If you change height and size in the blueprint settings, it does not step and everything is smooth already.

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

Good one! I didn't know that. I'm so used to scaling them by the handles lol.

[@ChuckstaGaming]

Not just Oceanology, but also how to use Brushify!!! In fact, creating a map from scratch! Subscribed 😁

[@ChuckstaGaming]

@ 33:29 "Adding Oceanology into our scene", you've got "out" instead of "our". I'm now about to add the ocean to my map!!! Exciting stuff! After that, the lake and rivers! Then back to game development proper, finally!!!

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

Lol yeah, I completely missed that one! Glad to help out :)

[@ChuckstaGaming]

@@officialpaperplanesgame It's damn good that you made these guides as the ones on the official Discord are either really poor quality (and out of date) or none existent. Of course, I am now using your most recent guide for initial set up, as the tool has changed some, but this one is still very, very useful for the overall map creation tutorial.

[@E1nfach_Justin]

Very cool asset and a great insightful video

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

Thank you so much. I'm glad you found it insightful.

[@stevc9229]

Thanks for the share !

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

Thank you for being awesome!

[@rubik777]

Skull&Bones done in a minute

[@beniilo7248]

Great video man :)

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

Thanks bro!

[@agorilla7137]

This looks good for something I'm trying to do, but how does Oceanology treat the inside of vessels? One of the issues I see often is waves clipping through the boat, especially below deck and that's something I'm trying to avoid.

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

Oceanology does have a really good mask feature. I forgot to show that one in the overview video. Was running a bit long but, there is an included map that has that feature set up and shows how it works.

[@GVMuk]

looks very nice. I was watching a doc on how Sea Of Thieves done there water. lots of math and very complicated stuff. fascinating seeing realistic water in a game engine is still so mesmerizing :) Kind of wish Epic would work on the UE5 base water plugin. its nice but real bland. and alot of the options are just straight up disabled.

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

I agree with you 100% The water in sea of thieves is among the best I'd ever seen. And the options on the market place are getting better and better!

[@KiwiHawk-downunder-nz]

I do like the Brushify stuf BUT was not happy when he said making a couple layers height adjustable for seabeds/beach's was to costly and never helped me or would not make a couple of optional layer functions that people could add if the chose. I neded that help because I'm not great with code BTW have you looked at Errant Proton's Errant landscapes tools

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

I have not used Errant tools yet but I have seen then. Very nice. As far as brushify. I tend to add the functionality I need for custom setups as I have made many auto materials myself. I just find this faster. I can make a video on adding new landscape texture layers later down the road if that is something you'd like to see. And we can get a few more people needing that. As it is a process. Not to difficult, just a lot of steps.

[@KiwiHawk-downunder-nz]

@@officialpaperplanesgame That would be very nice thank you so much, as an older geezzer that doesn't code to well, most of what I do I copy, I did make some new functions from brushfy to and replacement textures from Megascans, I made a copy of the mud functions to do a seabed sand with height but had no idea how to create a height slider

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

@@KiwiHawk-downunder-nz the new material video is up. Pt 3. Should help you out with a few things on the brushify.

[@LetsPatrick]

Hi! Thx u so 🎉 i'm have a problem. Turn on RTV the Brusify Landscape turns Black. 😢 Can u help me? Or Show in the next Video a workaround? Ur Tutorial Video is the best.. thx

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

Thank you. Yes, I will go through the RVT's in the next video. We will get them set up and working in brushify. That will also work for any RVT landscape as they are all the same procedure. You can also check brushify boot camp on youtube. He is the dev of brushify and he has videos on doing rvt's as well. www.youtube.com/@HavokSage

[@slothsarecool]

God, all the temporal artifacts in UE5 are incredibly distracting, it'll be great when they can clean that stuff up

[@SishaSasha]

I need to reach out to you but not on discord, do you've communication anywhere else?

[@Aaron-k9l]

now im having problems with frame freezing somtimes and getting 5fps. i noticed when you tested the horizon map you also had the same issue. i have a 3090ti and im testing an island i made in gaea and every time i add the water i get huge performance issues. is there any way to optimize this or some fix. i did turn lumen off and the virtual shadow maps and the issues still persisted the same. it strange, my test with my island has no foliage or textures and it has poor performance but then i load the horizon map in and i do not lose any frames or freeze. i am so lost. it seems like the demo is optimized better cause when i try making my own open world with world partition i just lag. i have to delete the demo landscapes and add my own in just to get it working fine. sorry for messaging you again but im just kinda new to unreal engine.

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

I would have to see your gaea map. What is resolution for the gaea map? If you have oceanology and are in the discord my Tag is PaperPlane. Send me a #message in the oceanology general chat. And I can set a time to do a live chat to see what you have going on. Or you can send me a few images on the issue.

[@ramsaybolton9151]

Why can't I add this video to a play list?

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

I will check shortly. I'm pretty sure I have it set so it can be added.

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

I just checked. I do have it set so it can be added to playlist and embedded on sites.

[@Aaron-k9l]

im having an issue with a 3rd person game mode working with this map. for some reason i cant actually walk around the island and when i spawn it just puts me in the air and i cant move even though i only have one player start and its on the island. If i play as standalone game it spawn me in the correct area on the island but then i cant move or see my character in 3rd person. and if i hit play from here on the island it still puts me in the sky.

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

Hmmm. I don't have a player start set up. If you are using the play button. Could be an issue. If you added a player start from the quick start menu. To the landscape. Might be the issue. I usually just right click on the terrain where I want to spawn my char and select play from here.

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

Another option is the game mode is not set properly in the world settings game mode overide option. So you will need a game mode, a character and a character controller to play on the map. I add the oceanology character game mode to the game options in the video. That should work.

[@Aaron-k9l]

@@officialpaperplanesgame o gotcha yea my bad i usually just skim through stuff and didnt see that lol.

[@NeatWolf]

Hi, the video is great but - weirdly I can't save it to any playlist, even the Watch later or private ones. Is that intentional or accidental?

[@NeatWolf]

Nevermind, I accidentally resized the browser and the save button reappeared. Weird. I tested with other videos and had no similar issues. Maybe it's the aspect ratio or quality?

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

I don't know why. I set it so people can save the play lists. I will check again tonight when I get back home.

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

It is most likely the aspect ratio. I use my main monitor to work on as it is what I'm used to and it's ultra wide. I will start increasing the font size for all. But, I will mostly use the big monitor :)

[@RedShark493]

Nice tutorial. I wish I can win an oceanology key :) I am a single developer and usd currency is too expensive for me to buy oceanology plugin from my country.

[@officialpaperplanesgame]

I hear you. I will have more final information on the next video. The devs will be included in the giveaway so we will decide soon how the giveaway will work.
