FluidNinja LIVE 1.9.53 QUICKRUN - volumetrics update

Unreal Engine 5.3 came with a new volume type: Heterogeneous Volume.
Accordingly, ninja has been updated with a new generic volume function,
Handling ALL native UE volume types: fog, clouds - and heterogeneous volumes
The update comes with…
- wrapper materials for the new volume function
- minimal setups, showcasing volume function properties
- fluidsim driven and passive setups (passive = non-interactive)
Setups are demonstrating usage in the 1 meter to 100 kilometers size range, combining various volume types and exploring multilayer volumes.

I'm really excited to see how advanced this project gets. These fog and cloud simulations are insane

[@AndrasKetzer]

Thank you 🖐

[@modz7014]

FluidNinja NEVER stopes to amaze me, i love it, i have both live and tools, im so excited for the updates

[@AndrasKetzer]

Thank you for the positive feeback!

[@Mireneye]

Holy shit! This is so cool. I love the large simulation! Looking forward to the days when I have time to fully commit to learning this and building some things with it in mind from the ground up.

[@MonsterJuiced]

By far still the best solution for my fluidic needs. I got so much respect for you man

[@AndrasKetzer]

Thanks, I really appreciate 🖐

[@alexmomot6268]

Amazing!😍 I'm updating the asset pack and look forward to launch and see all these amazing demo scenes on my PC. 🏃

[@ShienlanMiitsues]

Looks very promising! I'm on UE 4.27 for now, so when I manage to get a UE5 compatible PC, I'll definitely get this!

[@thronosstudios]

Epic as always. Great job, Andras! I bought all the Fluid Ninja plugins about a year ago but haven't been able to use them yet. Hopefully this will be possible with those versions because this is exactly what I've been looking for 🤞🤞

[@AndrasKetzer]

Thanks! You could also reach out to us at the community server, in case you need help: discord.gg/rgEtwua2tu

[@thronosstudios]

@@AndrasKetzer Oh nice! Didn't know you had a Discord. I think I will do just that. 👍

[@Redheadtama1]

You're a wizard Andras.

[@stoidatdaeva3197]

one of the best purchases i did but never used was this plugin :D looks awesome as allways

[@importon]

Very cool! I would love to see a demo of using this for bullet hits, small grenade explosions, and smoke grenades. These are needed in most shooters.

[@cryzenx.]

holy shit is this fluid smoke? if not , then its definitly amazing

[@martonadammarton1878]

Dropping the real bomb here! Great work as always!

[@AndrasKetzer]

So nice to see you Cshab!!! --- and thanks for the positive feedback --- Monster also popped in for a comment

[@razzraziel]

* sad unity noises *

[@alexkosic1832]

Imagine all the math behind those physics based effects =)

[@shivmoo]

damn, you are just incredible.

[@Sioolol]

1:41 Seing this and knowing Dune game will use this plugin makes me so exited.

[@AndrasKetzer]

Thanks for the positive feedback 🖐

[@keithbandles4137]

This is amazing stuff I'm excited to try some of these setups

[@DirkTeucher]

Absolutely incredible

[@quietlyworking]

🕺Why am I dancing in the kitchen? 🤣

[@xTHHxAimiForevr]

jesus that storm wall was nuts

[@Uncle_Fred]

Incredible. Fluid Ninja's updates are always nice to see. What's the PC specs and FPS?

[@AndrasKetzer]

Thanks! - Made for RTX gen cards, between 140 FPS and 340 FPS on RTX 3080 - depending on the scene. With proper constraints: game ready

[@Uncle_Fred]

@@AndrasKetzer Thank you. Keep up the good work. Fluid Ninja is right up there with the best UE assets, right up there with UDS. It's because of your work and willingness to make it accessible.

[@dorfischer]

Incredible. Any chance of implementing techniques for creating a "pyroclastic flow" on a volcano's mountainside?

[@AndrasKetzer]

The above demonstrated technology enables us to create a pyroclastic flow --- CVOL in far view, combined with HVOL in closeup.

[@Eternal_23]

Goddayum man 🤘🏻

[@SP95]

Looks really nice ☁☁☁☁☁☁🌨🌨☁☁🌨🌨

[@EMNM66]

Insane 😮

[@artnow5131]

It looks fantastic! Is this smoke also illuminated by reflected light? Does it work with GI Lumen?

[@AndrasKetzer]

yes, the included shaders are Lumen compatible - also responding to multiple point lights. While "Fog" and "Clouds" are receiving indirect light too, "Heterogeneous Volumes" do not (by default): so we have added in a custom ambient / ambient occlusion pass to the material, to fix this. See detailed description in the DOC, linked in the video details!

[@artnow5131]

OMG at last ! Thank You .Really impressive work .@@AndrasKetzer

[@rkrehe20]

the atreides atomics!

[@Nevetsieg]

I just don't understand why Ninjia fluid can simulate a city scale nuclear explosion while Unreal built-in niagara fluid can only do like a room scale...

[@AndrasKetzer]

It is partly depending on the Volumetric Type we use. This nuke uses the "Cloud" shader - while, UE devs seem to use clouds only for... well.. clouds ;)))

[@Atlantica-Worlds]

This is amazing! What's the performance like for the 100 km size?

[@AndrasKetzer]

Thank you! --- In the 100km range we use VolumeClouds. A single cloud layer renders with ~200-250 FPS on RTX 3080, double layered clouds (eg. volcano smoke column + cloud shield) do ~140-160 FPS. This could be significantly improved by reducing sampling quality.

[@MarkOfArgyll]

Noice!

[@laszloperneky8417]

Feels like a demo scene entry. Why is that? ;p

[@AndrasKetzer]

Monster San! ---- nice to see you! --- yeah, and guess what: the musican (Hoffman) is a friend of my friend (Teo) --- still active on Amiga scene :) --- kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqaVdGarbdiEjJY

[@MatiasPiens]

Hello, great job guys, one question I`m not able to find the nuke explosion project, I check under Volumetrics, volumatrics2 or Use Cases , Thnanks

[@AndrasKetzer]

Thanks! --- The "large scale volumes" example level contains 9 examples - we could switch between them using the 1-9 keys (in-play). 1. load this map: \Content\FluidNinjaLive\Volumetrics_v2\VolumeGeneric5_LargeScaleExamples_NoFluidSim.umap 2. Press Play. Press the "3" or "4" key (as the level placed text instructs) To permanently enable the nuke, set the visibility of "VolumeCloud_MultiLayer_Volcano1" Actor to FALSE, and the visibility of "VolumeCloud_MultiLayer_Mushroom1" to TRUE. Pls do not forget to read the documentation ("how to use volumes") - drive.google.com/file/d/1F94t04Dh2HMWQRUMmtGVxwD2Dk6RaN79

[@MatiasPiens]

This is F*cking Great !!!!!!!!!!! @@AndrasKetzer

[@EMNM66]

How do I setup fog simulation using sequencer ? Is it same as shown in previous old tutorial on sequencer about 4yrs ago?

[@AndrasKetzer]

Thanks for reaching out! See Manual Chapter 23: "Sequencer and MovieRenderQueue" (sidenote: the simple method how we use sequencer, has not changed through the years: step1 expose fluidsim param to sequencer, step2 drive param via sequencer)

[@ddk505]

If I use it in my game project, will my graphics card burn out as a result? And what kind of machine would be able to run such a game if it's made into game effects?

[@AndrasKetzer]

Ninja is scalable. Fluidsim driven Fog Volumes perform above 340 FPS On RTX 3080, around 100 FPS on GTX 1070. Cloud volumes: mid. HETEROGENEOUS Volumes are heavy, between 120 and 240 FPS on RTX 3080, not recommended for GTX gen cards. Learn more from the DOC linked in the video details.

[@Cloroqx]

What is performance like? This looks very, very heavy.

[@AndrasKetzer]

We are good. Between 140 and 340 FPS on a RTX 3080 - depending on the scene and settings. Will publish details soon - until then: see the linked doc.

[@OGPatriot03]

I can confirm that Fluid Ninja runs extremely fast

[@jachargrave]

takes me back to Crysis days 🥲

[@iWsGamesTurkiye]

Fps ? graphics card ?
