Came for the knowledge! vibed to the music. Great tutorial, look forward to testing this out. 🔥🔥🔥 def new sub.

[@adamdrzazga2042]

Thanks! I really appreciate that!

Hello, I want to create an infinite loop sea of clouds, but I have been trying for a long time but have not been able to achieve it

[@prabh-t7d]

does this work for ue5.4.4 , like i couldn't find the cloud circle in content drawer. please help

[@RichardBoisvert]

Can you explain the setup instructions for making the simulated clouds react to objects passing through them, like an airplane? Or does that "just work" when moving objects through them, so long as there is collision?

[@adamdrzazga2042]

It should just work when moving objects through volume. Only you need to have collision in your object ;)

[@RichardBoisvert]

@@adamdrzazga2042 Thank you. What if the object is also exerting a dynamic force, such as a helicopter. In the helicopter example I would expect 2 things: 1. ✅ The cloud reacting to the helicopter object collision 2. ❓The cloud being pushed down due to the wind generated from the helicopter blades spinning

[@Bova-Fett]

@@RichardBoisvertI think the 1st point is handled already providing there is collision on the helicopter. As for the force, you would need to set it up so there is an area at the bottom and below the plane that exerts a force of some kind. Off the top of my head I’m not sure what I’d do but I think as long as you’re making use of unreal engines built in physics system you’re fine.

[@Leesaktost]

Can I make the SKM cloud size bigger, like 100 meters? If I make it bigger, I can't see the cloud very well.

[@adamdrzazga2042]

@@Leesaktost hello if you want bigger clouds you need increase min/max radius and volume size. You can also cache cloud in sequencer in standard size and then upscale rotate etc.

[@braedongarner]

How do you increase the size of a cloud (with text like the "Hello" example)? Right now, "Hello" is so small, you can't see it when it is up in the sky

[@adamdrzazga2042]

Hi, I will prepare another example of how to create BigSizeText soon with some additional updates. But for now, especially for you, I have prepared the settings to achieve this effect. Let me know if it works for you! :) Link drive.google.com/drive/folders/1gSV18uX2IlOMisgZMOLAx3gpH1k5UjXZ?usp=sharing

[@braedongarner]

@ I will try this out later today, thank you! I was able to create one but it doesn’t look great. Also, the heterogeneous command works for me in your example levels, but won’t work in any of my own levels even though they’re all in the same project. Any ideas why?

[@parkerhartzler]

The indirect lighting command doesn't seem to change anything for me, strange

[@romeoinferno]

Same for me. Any suggestions?

[@milananticmilan]

Same for me! Is there some solution?

[@adamdrzazga2042]

@Parkerhartzler @romeoinferno @milananticmilan Did you fix problem? If not I can check your settings. Please sent me to email

[@braedongarner]

@@adamdrzazga2042 The indirect lighting command isn't changing anything for me either :(

[@realpictureanimation7445]

are you have any tutorials about this plugin

[@markplatts6520]

Hi is it possible to have a cubic noise effect to have lo resolution voxel like clouds?

[@adamdrzazga2042]

Hi, can you show me an example? I think you could prepare a static mesh in a voxel style and then use my system to generate clouds. :)

[@달달-t2p]

I followed the tutorial but it doesn't have high definition cloud texture. What should I do

[@adamdrzazga2042]

1.Did you change the volume size? If so, how large is it? 2. When adjusting the volume size, make sure to increase the "Resolution Max Axis" to around 300-450; this should be sufficient. 3. With a larger volume, always increase the Min/Max Radius settings. 4. To enhance the "cloud texture definition," add more noise using the Turbulence / Curl Noise settings. 5. In the Clouds Generator folder, find "Example_08." There is a mannequin with settings like those in the promo video. Try to replicate these settings if your character is of similar size.

@ I'll sleep because it's night.Thank you for reply.

[@달달-t2p]

@@adamdrzazga2042 Thank you. I'm able to create a similar feeling to a certain extent! I especially liked it because the communication was so fast. Lastly, can you tell me more about setting up number 4? I bought a plug-in because I worked part-time, but it's hard... I should study more, too.

[@ScientificGentlemen]

Is there a way to make the smoke look like fire instead? Awesome work!

[@adamdrzazga2042]

Hello, I prepared this system mainly for smoke and clouds. If you want fire, you need to turn on "Temperature" in the Niagara System.

[@grimsasin]

Are there any tutorial to make ur own clouds, as a student i cant really afford this.

[@adamdrzazga2042]

Hello, please check my examples and user parameters settings, they will surely help understand how the system works at the start. I also plan to add more examples later this month

[@gavinzhu-uo6qd]

How do you create a stationary mass of cloud cover? Everything is in motion now

[@adamdrzazga2042]

Hello, you only need to cache 1-2 frames. After that, stretch your cache to cover the entire sequencer, and you will have a static cloud

[@gavinzhu-uo6qd]

@@adamdrzazga2042 thanks!

[@ely_akhundov]

@@gavinzhu-uo6qd the thing is once you align your niagara fx with a mesh ( a car tire in my case) in disappears and i don't know what to do

[@Tremorai]

And how did you make the skull at 10 seconds? I don't want to do it in Houdini. Can you record a couple of splints? I really need to

[@adamdrzazga2042]

Hello I prepared Niagara Fluids System for static mesh objects. It's generate particles from static mesh. I have example with skull in package :)

[@Borszczuk]

What's background music?

[@Neomu_Joah]

When I move away from the clouds, I can't see the clouds at all. What should I do?

[@adamdrzazga2042]

Hi, try this cvar: r.HeterogeneousVolumes.MaxTraceDistance. By default it is 30 000. Change this to 90 000 or more :)

[@jediarcher16]

Ok, I’m a bit new to unreal engine so maybe I’m missing something, but why do the clouds look like such low quality? Even at 400 resolution matching what you did, the quality is very very bad and blurry. Is this to be rendered at higher quality and the ‘lit’ view is compressed? I’m so confused, cause I can’t use this in my final scene it looks not so high quality lol do you just go with it?? Does it look better after you put everything else with it? I’m a bit confused here

[@adamdrzazga2042]

Hello, Could you send me your setup or record your screen? I need to check how you have configured the system. If you have a very large volume, you can increase the resolution and adjust the Min/Max Radius Size in the Niagara Fluids - Source Parameters. You can find my email in the Marketplace, and I will check your problem. Thank you!

[@leoniu5414]

@@adamdrzazga2042 Hi, I have the same question about the quality. For example, when I started to used the FX_Clouds_SM_ShapeA in a scene, even I have adjusted the 'Resolution Max Axis' and the 'Min/Max Radius Size' , I still cannot get the same high quality as what you showed in the demo video (0:04~0:08 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXOwp3mtqKiWf6c). Or in other words, is it about lighting or rendering?

[@adamdrzazga2042]

@@leoniu5414 @jediarcher16 Hi, tell me what computers you work on? NiagaraFluids is quite demanding and needs a lot of memory. I will also check the Streaming Pool Size to see if it is displayed in the upper left corner.

@@adamdrzazga2042 I am running on a 4090 laptop and still having the same issue. How do you make bigger clouds without them looking bad?

Clouds Generator - Niagara Fluids The lens is very blurry when zoomed in. Can't see clearly at all. . What reason/? Regular objects don't. . .

[@adamdrzazga2042]

Hello, could you show me your setup (a screen recording or project)? Please send it to my email.

[@janroman979]

Hello, enter the console command in the second step:r.HeterogeneousVolumes.IndirectLighting 1 Didn't change the cloud like you did, can you reply to me thanks

[@adamdrzazga2042]

Hello, please prepare a screen recording for me, as I have never had any issues with it. This package was prepared in the 'Games' project settings. If you are using different settings, try these. You may have some custom settings, and that could be causing issues with the Heterogeneous Volume - NiagaraFluids Best Regards!

[@mae2309]

can you make airplane trails? and . do you have the ability to animate teh trail as the airplane moves.??? cheers. will buy it eventually. love it!!

[@adamdrzazga2042]

Hello, in the near future, I would like to add a spline trail to the package. Currently, you can attach a cloud to an object and change forces to animate it in real time. I have prepared an example with a train and steam. Check this link: drive.google.com/file/d/17tFZJwdtHcIPT-ZO2U6H0Pa3RCdgUiBF/view
