Unreal Engine 5 Ultra Dynamic Sky + Oceanology

In this video I go over how to implement Ultra Dynamic Sky and Oceanology together allowing things like god rays, caustics, cloud shadows, and ripple effects on the water to work as they should. If there is any questions I will do my best to answer and help I am still learning myself. If there is any changes to how this is implemented I will do a new video.
Oceanology version 5.1.3
Ultra Dynamic Sky Version 7.2
Engine Version 5.0.1
Happy Developing All!
If you would like to see a demonstration of the ripple effects check out my other video!

This is still for the most part relevant only major changes will be included in the oceanology discord integration section, which I will be continuing on in the future and maybe when things are more finalized I will make a new video but until then I will keep with the text guide in the mean time. Easier for me to maintain with updates than making new videos every so often to account for changes. discord.com/channels/654364478493687819/1156810806219001897/threads/1165974959047323729/1165974959047323729

very easy to follow and looks amazing on my end with the latest version of both THANKYOU!

[@pandknz]

nice work!

[@TrinityMysteriousSystem]

Thank you! Now it will be easier to set everything up correctly. Wonderful job. 🤞👍🙌✌😃

[@Psykhosis420]

Glad it was helpful I intend to do another when I learn more myself and expand on this.

@@Psykhosis420 We are always waiting for new videos. Thank you for your hard work.

Danke, big, big thx :-)

[@Psykhosis420]

No problem happy to help if I can!

[@tarabibi3456]

Thank you. Would you please make more video on Oceanology. Please,please

[@Psykhosis420]

I will likely be making more in the future covering a variety of implementations and topics. No eta however.

[@danielelebash3781]

This is awesome. I have a hard time seeing the blueprint changes. Could you post them on blueprintue if you get a chance. TY!

Nice work! Thanks! Do you know why the sun reflection is visible on the water while UDS is overcast?

[@Psykhosis420]

Hey I cant seem to replicate this issue, may be something happening in your project settings. Everett Gunther may have a better idea, he could have seen something similar.

[@KatherineGrantSuttie]

When I go to save the materials by 4:05 - I get the errror message "the current material has compilation errors, so it will not render in feature level SM6." please advise.

[@Psykhosis420]

Sadly this method no longer works as of the current oceanology versions, however with 5.1.6 coming out it will once again work fine. You could merge the 2 mpc into one to fix the error or wait for the newest update of OC.

[@Marcin-Byterunners]

I'm trying to replicate your steps, but nothing happens when I switch on the volumetric fog in ultra dynamic sky. What could I be doing wrong?

[@_jeffrey_williams]

Did you add the caustic sun master material to your cloud shadow function under UDS?

[@robvan6274]

I followed this tutorial and it worked wonderfully, i got god rays working on oceanology 5.3 . I have one question, the draw distance now underwater is basically unlimited. Is there a way to have the god rays and reduce how far you can see? I e been trying to figure it out to no success.

[@Psykhosis420]

Might be able to tie it to your post process to get this sort of solution.

[@gabrielepardi5178]

Thanks. The ripple effects Does not work with Uds with Ue4 on 4.27. Any suggestion on how I can get the ripple on lake and river?

[@Psykhosis420]

Havn't tried on 4.27 but will see if I can make some time to mess with it in the next week.
