Get to Know Destruction Effects in Unreal Engine | Get to Know

[@zaclam8698]

I can already imagine a Godzilla type game where you fight in cities and the destruction of buildings are like this.

[@MxT333]

you mean like the game war of the monsters? classic game!

Unreal Engine: We have dynamic destruction Frostbite Engine: Hold my destruction Me: I want to see destruction in every game!

[@VandergriftMoefies]

People always say that games now look the best they can and that any innovation is small. Well, that's far from the truth, but games really have a long way to go when it comes to destruction and dynamic environments, better AI, physics, weight and other simulated FX like water and smoke for example. Some people call things like ''destructible environments'' a gimmick, but I think it should be the new standard. How many games have you shot an RPG directly to a wall only for it to leave a burn mark?!

[@sadman.saqib.zahin01]

The particle simulation necessary for a realistic looking game is too much for the current gen GPUs. The performance cost is just not worth it. That's why we don't see that much improvement on the destruction side of games. Even the destruction simulation here isn't realistic, it feels chunky

[@kwmcgreal]

Also most games have very specific level design. Building a level with destruction of layout in mind makes things a lot more complicated when planning. It usually would end up detracting from the narrative and visual path they aim to take players on. Also in open multiplayer (shooters) it seriously effects the Lane design that brings balance to maps. If players can destroy buildings or cover it could change the map in a way that would make it unfair for one side or another or make it so players have to use certain classes/gear to utilize that advantage. It is certainly possible but takes A LOT more QA which = more time and $$$. So, that on top of performance hit... not worth the investment as we see most developers conclude That said I am all for completely destructible environments... even if the layout and map detail is simpler I love blowing things up and seeing buildings crumble. Bring it on next gen! Chaos can be very fun

[@zinetx]

@@kwmcgreal EA says otherwise with Battlefield, especially BFV.

[@nickpinkowski]

@@zinetx yeah, but the other point about the order of magnitude higher design complexity is very true. Every piece of geometry not only needs to have defined its connections strengths, materials but also meshes need to be closed, separated, have geometry between its layers with proper uvs and textures as the player will be able to see them after he destroys i.e. a wall. Basically, you need 10x more time to create, test, and design such a map that can be freely destructible, not to mention unstable performance with such amount of dynamic fragments... it's not optimal to create such environments as many more things in games are more important

[@zinetx]

@@nickpinkowski Nah, Epic sorted this out with its new CHAOS system. You can add up to 3 materials for the inside IIRC. Just search YT for CHAOS tutorials and you'll see how it works.

[@alialavib]

When will the chaos be a part of the official release of UE rather than compiling it manually?

[@ibrews]

Honestly, I would guess not till Unreal Engine V

[@Seb851s]

False, if plane for one next version of UE4

[@1_Man_Media]

this is my exact question as well. I really want to play around with chaos instead of apex destruction but I dont want to get source built ue4. Hopefully we see this become core sooner than later.

[@Benbenbenbenbenbenbenbenben]

It requires more dust clouds. Destroying stone buildings will cause a fog of dust. Also the dust wasn't affected by the gravitational pull of the falling debris. Something to think about. This is a step in the right direction and will give players unique approaches on handling certain situations

[@danielschaller7878]

Thats the beauty of Niagara, you can set it up as you like

[@HaykAmirbekyanTKD]

gravitational pull of debris should be almost negligible. Objects on earth are too small to noticeably affect each other. Dust does not get pulled toward large objects on earth, like tanks or buildings. What you may be thinking of is the vacuum effect, where the movement of an object creates a temporary void and surrounding dust and air moves in to fill it. This is best exemplified by flipping a single page of a book and watching as the second page follow it, or by standing in a train station and feeling the gust of wind which follows the train. But yes, that would be cool. Keep in mind it would not depend on the mass of the falling debris. only its volume, shape, and speed.

[@tallmonkeyfist7193]

Start by focusing on your gameplay before you even worry about how the game looks. It's ok to use placeholders for models until you implement the logic of the game. Start by making a couple small projects to learn how to use the game engine before you make your first big project.

It looks amazing, but the problem is even though it's been in beta form for three releases now it's tough to get it working at all, performance is bad, and its still a work in progress. I think these videos are giving a false presentation of where physics are in chaos. Due to all of the issues every game other than Fortnite is still using the old physics. Now in fairness it is still in beta. But we've been seeing videos like this for a year now.

In beta they dont care about the perfection of their direct X "port" they are building it for their simulations and you know they have private test builds.
