Is this course you have linked finished, are all the lectures available or are they still being added to? oh ... I just have to know ... why are you liking your own comments? lol

[@widowmaker7831]

Fluid Ninja? verses this?

[@AllahomAnsorGaza]

please upload on udemy please

[@codepeas]

I have been working with fluid flux for the last few months, I thought the price was too high but it is the best and most refined Asset I have found on the marketplace. It's definetely on the voxel Plugin Level!

[@NR-rv8rz]

It's definitely gorgeous. But there is still some thing of an uncanny valley to the breaks. It looks like the water is of a thicker, gel like substance than sea water.

[@shrektheogrelord6435]

i know this sounds stupid, but realistic oceans are a feature iv wanted for a while. id like to see it in the next Subnautica game

[@hicarodestrui]

Yeah, for now, it's impossible to we have a real time fluid like real life fluid that not look "Uncanny", this is a aspect that even CGI pre-rendered footage have A LOT of trouble. To we have a fully realistic fluid, we need to have a Water that it's 100% particle and not mesh, and this is humanity impossible with our current hardware for real time. To tell you the truth, even without-real-time a GPU + CPU can take easily WEEKS to render only few seconds.

[@mnomadvfx]

Same, it lacks a good foam layer to add that finishing touch. Back to the drawing board for v3 I guess.

[@mnomadvfx]

@@hicarodestrui "To we have a fully realistic fluid, we need to have a Water that it's 100% particle and not mesh, and this is humanity impossible with our current hardware for real time" Actually no - you need both. Particles for the foam at the leading/breaking edges of the wave, and mesh for the rest. It might be possible using ML augmented methods to simulate at lower step levels and have the neural net generate the higher quality version dynamically at playback time.

[@grodkowski]

For those wondering - Fluid flux is $350 on the epic store.

[@exhydraboy2429]

Yeah I fucking figured. Nothing is affordable

[@lukafi]

@@exhydraboy2429 I can get you it for free if you want

[@200percentmicky]

id still buy it.

[@eBunnee]

@@exhydraboy2429for $350 they’re being generous asf, I’d charge this shi for a $1,000 tf!?💀

[@TylerIRufener]

@@exhydraboy2429if you are making a game its about investment vs return. This investment would bring a fame to the next level

[@notbuster126]

Battlefield 1 had amazing oceans, specially stormy weather oceans, with the DLC maps featuring naval fights.

[@NorseGraphic]

3:00 building looks very similar to Conan Exiles (placing walls, furniture). I just wished Funcom would move to UE 5.2 or newer on their next survival game. The water looks absolutely amazing in your video.

[@Phoenix_VR]

Mindblowing, does it work with Forward Shader or only Deffered? Once they update it, please do a VR test :) Always with amazing new stuff SmartPolly :)

[@smittyvanjagermanjenson182]

The art style of sea of thieves may be cartoony, but i remember starting that game up and just staring at how good the water looks

[@MR3DDev]

Finally a decent water system that can be used for virtual production

[@weatherataglance6075]

I always hoped they would one day be able to simulate waves breaking in games.

[@ianskinner1619]

I remember using the very first ' real water ' simulator plug in that was used on the 5th element.. what a pain in the ass that was to set up and refine, wish we had something like this 25 years ago.

[@Chucksanddown]

Would this work on current generation consoles, PlayStation 5, and XBOX series x or would this only work on a PC?

[@arthemos4627]

this is so cool! With rivers there is still work to do about realism

[@MrJohnni9999]

Everyone making these videos.. "I´m running this on my 4090" Me: My apartment goes up in flames!

[@ingemar_von_zweigbergk]

have you noticed that tap water bubbles differently when you pour it, compared to in the 1980s

[@raymond1269]

That is insane talking ai npc and realistic water what a time we live in i need a game like that

[@NostalgicTribe]

You could literally just make a basic vr game where I'm at the beach and I'd buy it.

[@messirastaroth7644]

Is it suitable for games?

[@MaD-Studios]

We must have this! We must.

[@jasonlewis3257]

Invidia Waveworks and I believe it was used in Atlas.

[@Soheil2030]

Very realistic very good Amazing❤

[@Psychonaut-im3zz]

I wonder if you could make games like Hydrophobia with it.

[@FreeD00M]

Multiplayer is not supported. Any idea how do get around that?

[@rafaeldspereira]

Hey smart, what your pc specs?

[@gaba023]

Good but the scale seems off. Like the character is doll size. The waves move too fast. Oh, and the waves should not always more or less come in perpendicular to the shore.

[@BoogWeed]

The character moves through the water without resistance

[@Kor3Gaming_Ghost]

am making a game of my island not to realistic but i notice the fluid flux is $349 lol but it looks so good . i need to get that

[@Mimic634]

I wonder if you could make a surfing game with this🤔

[@ZealousAvenger]

ARK Ascended is getting FluidNinja Live xP

[@PatrickTheDM]

Mind boggling.

[@royjordi7950]

why many fluid flux videos only about staring to the ocean and running through?

[@GES1985]

Does this work with a voxel planet?

[@Legomanshorts-c5o]

this plugin looks cool at first but in no way can you just drop this in a world like minecraft and it will just work. the area of simulation must first be designated and then the water sim appears in this box only. from what i have heard before the simulation cannot be runtime spawned and it does not cache the scene must fill the water every time. hopefully 2.0 fixes these issues as just for this plugin you would require players to wait 30 seconds to a minute maybe longer for a waterfall to start generating and the stream to flow down and it all fills the scene and looks like it was already there. it also has very lacking water interactions with the player. the water bends unnaturally and the waves in the ocean are folding with the waves which looks cool but then from some angles the effect is totally wrong and leaves you with an unnatural wave. this dude has never been to the beach who made this plugin. waves do not fold on eachother when they are 1 foot high they push far across the beach. waves fold on eachother when they are much larger. before you say im being to picky this costs hundreds of dollars to license.

[@Protoxy]

What is your graphic card ?

[@AQUASURF]

Could this be made and exported to xbox ?

[@FireOccator]

I wonder how this compares to Nvidia Waterworks.

[@SnaptrixGaming]

Oh my fucking lord

[@jeremyschultz4731]

canoes game with this water and unreal you can make a simulation with that sport heck it needs to be tested with say ice chunks water items to see if it give a proper arctic simulation the, this needs a magma simulation to blow peoples minds away that unreal might implement it into engine

[@dobrx6199]

I'd buy it if it weren't $350 😭

[@andrewlallier3389]

Horizon Forbidden west would like a word 😂

[@o_o9039]

great but its 350 dollars for one version and if you want the updates its another subscription.

[@play-good]

350$ WTF but it's really coool More Realistic then real

[@Rehd66]

I have no idea why Epic hasn't bought this guy out yet

[@Growmetheus]

I think i seen the original head in an interview and he was saying free resources reap better progress than restricted, so that probably why.

[@cumibakar10]

@@Growmetheus “free resources” as in what? Lmao they’d have way better resources and money to develop this in a big company like Epic with other industry leading experts. It’s just copium excuse because the real reason is Epic is not impressed and doesn’t want them.

[@CosmicComputer]

Man... that looks incredible, I can't believe that runs in real time.

[@virtualfilmer]

This is such a massive leap forward from the previous version!! I can’t believe it. Can’t wait to get the real thing when it releases.

[@GES1985]

Looks good. Needs slightly more foaminess and persistent wet sand on the waters retreat. Also, physics for slowing the player movement based on depth in water (until swimming animation is transitioned to)

[@Osama-Dev-]

you have 500 fps 😂 , is it your PC or the fluid is too optimized now 🧐

[@makeunrealthings]

Good optimization and good PC.

[@SmartPoly]

@@makeunrealthings true

[@Chris.Davies]

"Realistic" - only if you squint. These are NOT realistic water behaviours.

[@ShadyRonin]

It looks really good. Just needs more splash and foam!

[@XWXS2]

I hope gta 6 is using something like this actually it pisses me off that all games in the last years didn't concentrate enough on water best water to me right now in games is still rdr2

[@OneMoreTime-ws9zs]

Imagine making ship sinking animations without hours of rendering in blender.

[@winstonackermann6391]

they just need to polish up the terain where the shoreline is, and the water needs white caps and especially by the waves close to the land for a much better looking effect but what it has already is amazing

[@mayday2011]

Most realistic water i have ever seen

[@sirbughunter]

Very impressive. But imho, it's still not perfectly realistic. It's still in the uncanny valley. But it's almost good enough now to not feel artificial anymore! Way to go for sure! 🎉❤

[@LanciaSiluri]

Can you do a deep dive on this plugin, esp creating rivers and canals

[@Phoenix_VR]

5:30 this is insane!! the flow is actually pushing a water wheel.....absolutely insane.....I wish if I can test my naval vessels with it someday......

[@mnomadvfx]

2 way coupling physics for fluid and solids has been around for a while - it's more of an achievement that they got it working in real time, though likely at low resolutions.

[@michaeleber4752]

I'm writing a game that is a Water World. So having a great ocean will be important. The effects and the cost put this plugin on my shopping list. (And, yes, I signed up for your class)

[@CrossWindsPat]

Wow thats incredible... Lives my whole life in Florida and the more I look at it the more blown away I am! Its so far beyond anything before it.

[@N1ghtR1der666]

very cool, definately still looks like an ocean of jelly so I think they need to dial up the foam a lot

[@LerpCat]

MFs Who Have $600 around to buy this

[@RiverFox_YT]

fluid flux looks amazing, but for £300+ in the store they are having a laugh

[@shoryu2]

*baywatch song* it's playing in my head while the slow motion is on... just amazing

[@Thornscale]

I've been researching this plugin, and it seems the limitations wouldn't work for the stuff I'm interested in. It can't be used in an open-world setting, and it can't be used with multiplayer. (according to it's own marketplace listing) Seems it's mostly just a fun project to play with, but not to actually use in a game. --Here's the list of limitations (from it's marketplace listing) for those interested-- open-world is currently not supported simulation can't be replicated simulation is calculated in a 2d grid projected on the heightfield (captured ground) system cant simulate wave breaks and splashing water VR and mobile are not supported currently non-tesselated plane mesh for rendering fluid surface there is no integration with Water Plugin for now

[@ObnovaDomu]

It can be used in multiplayer but the gameplay systems cant depend on simulation replication.

[@SmartPoly]

hopefully will change in the future

[@Microwave034]

How does my man have almost 500 fps

[@John315]

All i can say, is i was so excited when i learned that the new Subnautica is being developed in Unreal Engine 5 and we're gonna have this kind of graphics. Unity was so bad in the first game with that terrible LOD. I used to see entire regions appearing out of nowhere as i was moving around and i felt like a was playing a PS1 game all over again, in 2016. Really bad choice for an engine.

[@phoneindustrydesign]

looks amazing but 350$, c'mon man...

[@TJPet2]

1. how does it look during a thudnerstorm! :D 2. how would it look if Giant monsters were fighting in the ocean! 3. can you surf those waves :D

[@rebelcrusader9973]

That water rippling effect when the character moves still uses the same out-dated approach. That really needs to be improved to match the rest of the quality.

[@SetZor666]

the waves look pretty great, the ripples not so much, they're way too big and clean, like you're making ripples by poking your finger in a bowl of water.

[@kingthehacker9061]

Red Dead Redemption 2 is ahead of its time

[@Dhrazor]

if they add a bit more foam for the crashing waves, a bit more splashing somehow and make it a little bit more random it will be almost indistinguishable from reality... but even as is it is far better than anything I've seen in games...

[@РУССКИЙ_СОЛДАТ]

The simulation is too fast. (In reality, the behavior of water is a little slower. The further away from the shore the "smoother and slower" ) And in general it looks just amazing! Great job! 👏👏👏👍

[@mtutoriales]

I am not familiar with the plugin but there is most likely an option for that

[@РУССКИЙ_СОЛДАТ]

@@mtutoriales Yes.

[@ThaMentalGod2003]

where is this in videogames..? oh, sorry. my mistake. ofc the almighty graphics r way more important than physics. how could i be so foolish

[@jzjzjzj]

700 dollars, if he cut that price down to 10$ thousands of people would buy it and he'd get free marketing, but no, so stupid.

[@mikaylapatterson29]

How does bro have 500FPS 💀

[@1nZaneR]

please upload that video you take on your iphone of your ocean at sunset :-) don't get me wrong, this is good and class leading but it is still far away from realistic. I also live next to an ocean btw.

[@gopherchucksgamingnstuff2263]

5:18 fluid dynamics, that really is cool

[@jzjzjzj]

as far as my knowledge is, this works the exact same way water in cities skylines does, just at higher resolution and with more foam and caustics and whatever, god knows why it costs 700 dollars

[@ZipSnipe]

The Kelly Slater certain Gabe that used to be on Xbox and PlayStation looked awesome if not better than this, and that game is like 20 years old

[@DavidWinstead]

Sorry man, they say on their Marketplace page that VR and mobile are not supported, but maybe you can get it to work!?

[@trainhairs1403]

god damn! this is beautiful. I would love to see surfing, skim boarding, water skiing, and wakeboarding video games with water as good looking as this.

[@johnshepard8556]

Horizon forbidden west, assassins creed oddysey and sea of thieves all have the most impressive water physics for released AAA games but this is definitely the next step and i hope thjs is featured in unreal 5 games but improve howthewater interacts with the player and the environment like rocks so it makes everything wet

[@edwardrieck]

I have a feeling GTA 6 will have even better looking water sim. I know that’s a big ask, but they’ve had 20 devs working on just water for 4 years.

[@appleseedgames6934]

Needs more foam, in real life breaking waves are entirely white from foam

[@neverpure20]

If going for realistic, going for a different animation for the character as they go deeper in the water. Running would be heavier.

[@teajai45]

"There really isn't any real-time water simulation in games." Well, there was the game _Hydrophobia_ that released in the early 2010s that had real-time water simulations, but it's not a very good game.

[@vladimirnekic3241]

Yeah, awesome plug in.. Would be great for Ark. I guess they are using FluidNinja instead from what I hear.

[@adhdGameDev]

Why blueprints instead of writing c++? Wouldnt abmlre hands on tutorial give more flexibility to the course?

[@sowsow6677]

GTA 6 gonna be crazy

[@grayfox206]

Is it possible to try it without paying full price? I m not a dev, i just want to check it on my own pc. I dont need the resources and nothing. Just a executable.

[@karriemsharief]

When you’re running on the sand it’s not leaving footprints or kicking up sand. And when you run through the wave there’s no resistance. Oh… and where is all the trash and plastics?

[@ppatabox]

Didn't you have fluid flux 2.0 Don't you experience the disappearance of the sea at a certain camera angle?

[@MrGaiden100]

Waves look good but the character in the water looks awful still. The wave needs to brake around the character, the character needs to slow when it gets knee deep and a lot more bubbles and splashing particle effects need to be created.

[@maiwandhimmat4808]

At the first level that you are in my character slide and dose not interact with water any fix for that? Im using the new fluid flux and ue 5.2

[@redmemoryy]

Subnautica 3 should use this technology, the game is literally being developed on unreal engine 5.2

[@phutureproof]

water behaves like jelly, to viscous, and the ripples are wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too big the character looks tiny. its still very cool though, but not there yet

[@Kaho]

ARK Survival Ascended used Fluid Ninja instead of this plugin tho.

[@davidvincent380]

It's witchcraft in real time, in the same way as Lumens and Nanite

[@brunoguitardreamer]

I really hope we can see something in this level of excellence on GTA VI.

[@kiradark2322]

I just bought Fluid Flux 2, I have an RTX 3060, I'm having 28 to 32 FPS and in the demo exe on the market I had 65 FPS? The exe seems to be using rescaling, be careful, xD what type of computer do you have? Do I need something from Naza? I feel kind of stupid, I thought it was for open world games xD hahaha

[@ImaginaryBlend]

nope, the demo was created in UE4 you can download project settings from the documentation and build from it. UE5 is slower and TSR enabled by default in UE5 is killing FPS.
