Waterline PRO Tutorial: Dynamic Water Simulation - Part 1 Simulation Parameters

[@dumpsterfireproductions]

Update: In our latest version of WaterlinePRO 5.4 and higher, we've made some changes to the buoyancy workflow. Just about everything is the same, but you will need to specify which object channels should be included in the water simulation and buoyancy. We show this off in this tutorial section here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kH65lmVufNh_n6Msi=tZbxAjG_JLeuhrPB&t=143 For a more complete overview of all the buoyancy changes in WaterlinePRO 5.4 see this video as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJCqoWuklM-moassi=EU5WzlOzAUvuO4Gi

Hey im having issues with rendering the water and boat in the preview mode it looks fine but as soon as i render the water has huge spikes coming through and around the boat. is there a solution for this?

[@GES1985]

What would you recommend for water option(s) for a smooth "photorealistic" minecraft-like, using a voxel planet?

[@dumpsterfireproductions]

Hi! Difficult to say we have a ton of settings so you can do pretty much any look you want. We have a video that goes over all of these here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGSpYqRtZZ2Vnqssi=-lxFgQY094Wk6t9T We also have a bunch of preset maps which you can see here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYu1fHiXpb2siMUsi=29J6uQqpEBwGw00z&t=80

Hi, is it possible to recover the position of the collision of an object with water? I need it for my cannonballs. Thanks

[@dumpsterfireproductions]

Hi! Technically, sort of - we use such an approach for our ocean buoyancy. You could open up the Ocean Actor BP and in the Events tab (near the bottom) you will find the logic for buoyancy - it should be possible to use that to get the info you need with some modifications.

Nice tutorial! You coud do a tutorial showing how to achieve the same result as the thumbnail, it's going to be very nice.

[@dumpsterfireproductions]

Hi! That's coming in Part 3 :D

[@lucascastro6930]

@@dumpsterfireproductions nice!! Can not wait!

Hello! I can't find the Simulation Dampening parameter, has it changed its name?

[@dumpsterfireproductions]

Hi! We have a number of ocean actors which are from older releases in this pack (we mainly keep them around for comparability reasons for older users). To see the latest and greatest features at the moment make sure to use the "BP_Waterline_Ocean_Gen_3" also make sure to use the latest two releases of Unreal Engine as a rule of thumb these are the ones that receive the latest features :) If the issue persists let us know on our support email.

[@antpob]

@@dumpsterfireproductions thanks for the answer. I need the waves from the object to stay longer, but I can’t find which parameter is responsible for this

[@lazeeditz4178]

hey man any way you can share a link to an uploaded version on Drive for the boats pack as it doesn't seem to be out for sale this would be great for my Uni project. ty!

[@dumpsterfireproductions]

Unfortunately we cannot share 3rd party assets :( Twinmotion were the original creators of the boat pack that w used here, though there are quite a few other boat assets in the Unreal Marketpace which are also available for free :)

[@lazeeditz4178]

@@dumpsterfireproductions I understand this, however, I can't seem to find any free boat assets. would be much appreciated if you could link some, as I'm looking for yachts sails and speedboats. thanks for if you could :)

[@lazeeditz4178]

@@dumpsterfireproductions I have also found a download link for this pack however I'm fairly new to unreal and the textures/materials aren't working with the boat if there's a quick fix for this that you recommend that would be great,

Is there an installation instructions? and some basic getting started tutorials? This is designed for artists not programmers right?🙂 most of the things, and sliders dont work and I cant undo changes also

[@dumpsterfireproductions]

Hi! Here are the getting started tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3SpaqmajdJpbMU In general have a look at our more current videos on insights on how to use Waterline and it's different actor types. If you do get stuck somewhere let us know on our support email :)

In the blueprint class 'Rectangle_Water_Volume' there is no setting 'Water Mesh Settings'. 😏
