I`m new to UE5 and for three days now i`ve searched far and wide for a tutorial series like this, thank you so much. You can`t imagine how much this helped me 👍👍

I just started learning UE5 with c++ and I'm still having trouble placing a simple 3d button in the world. But once I figured that out, I'll come back to this one! Saved it to my playlist.

That is really nice! I've started looking into different systems of water since the built int water plugin seems semi-abandon. I'm gonna have a look at this series from the start

Thank you very much.🙂

Really love the work you do! Any idea what the Extent In Tiles do?

@jourverse 4 ай бұрын

The Extent in Tiles property sets the number of individual tiles that make up the water mesh. The extents are measured from the center of the water mesh to the edge for the XY-axis.

Hey could you make a tutorial on enabling or disabling the cpu calculation for buoyancy for every WaterActor.

Another question if you don't mind, what about Frustrum culling? Unreal Water mesh do cull but I think replicating the code is not enough to get this optimisation feature

at 43:12 the Far Mesh isnt working, and all you did was regenerating the VS Project Files? For me it still doesnt work. what exactly did you change?

@jourverse 7 ай бұрын

I deleted binary and intermediate files, then regenerated the vs project files. I showed everything that I did in the video.

I dont know if youtube posted my comment since my wifi is pretty bad lol. Is there a way to create a white foam around objects in the water without using distance fields? I really like that toonish look and I'd highly appreciate it if i can keep it (you told me its not possible using distance fields)

@jourverse 7 ай бұрын

You need try to use distance field first because I never use it on this mesh before. If that isn’t work, maybe advance scene capture technique which epic games use on water system.

How are performance? Have you tried to fill up a vast horizon with water and profiling? I'm very curious, specially you're using Niagara

@jourverse 7 ай бұрын

We can enable the far mesh, which is the low-poly mesh used to fill the horizon. Currently, the performance is not optimal, so you may need to lower the quality of the Ocean Niagara simulation for better performance. I might look into optimizing the system if many people are interested in this.

@medmel2160 7 ай бұрын

@@jourverse I think that would be very interesting to look at. There are tons of water materials out there but the performance side is often skipped. Water example in the marketplace is the best example. That is why I was expected a lot from Unreal water as it's used in Fortnite and generally Epic games do optimized stuff, and I was disappointed

@mjtomsky6387 7 ай бұрын

Is it possible to make distance fields working with the material? I use it for creating foam around the objects but with your method the entire ocean is just white (the color of my foam)

@jourverse 7 ай бұрын

Honestly, I don't know if this water mesh will work with distance fields or not because this is a custom mesh component.

@mjtomsky6387 7 ай бұрын

@@jourversedo you know any other way to create the white foam outline around an object if it touches the water? Without using distance fields. I just want this toonish style look and I'd be pretty sad if i cant use it anymore

So i tried to implement this in ue5.4 and there seems to be a problem where if i move it in the y or x axis the plane gets halved. If i just move it in the z axis it works.

@jourverse 14 күн бұрын

Is the tessellation still working? Is the moving problem happen still happen even after you follow this LOD Tessellation Update?

@АсСо-ю7к 14 күн бұрын

@@jourverse The tessellation also gets halved on the x and y axis but is fine on the z axis. before using this nothing appeared if i moved it but now this happens. I will have a look at it later and report back if i can fix the problem.

@АсСо-ю7к 13 күн бұрын

So it seems they updated the plugin so here is what i did. 1 replace the quadtree.h and .cpp with the ue5.3 version 2.delete anything in watermeshsceneproxy.cpp that gives you an error This is just a temporary fix i found until i can find the root problem when i have the spare time.

The problem with the 5.3.2 plugin running on 5.4.4 is the PSOPrecache section of the WaterMeshComponent h and cpp files. When I replace those lines with the ones from 5.4.4, the build pushes through but the editor gets debug broken and never goes up. I guess the problem lies with the PSO precaching. Everything else works except for the dynamic tessellation in 5.4.4.
