Fluid Flux

Description

Real-time shallow water simulation – fluid data modifiers, wave generator, and extendable interface.

Features:

• Fluid surface rendering – caustics, wetness, underwater, waterline, advected foam, advected waves, blending with the ocean, dynamic audio detection.

• Fluid Interaction – simple, cheap ripple solver moving with character, optimized to an absolute minimum

• Ocean wave blending – rendering tillable ocean heightmap texture in a single pass

• Niagara environment interaction – High-quality effects, bouncy, animated plants, character swimming, boats, 

• Clean, efficient, GPU-friendly implementation, interface designed with the KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) rule in mind

• Small, compact, and low memory footprint

• A tool for generating ultra-fast static meshes with flow maps baked into vertex color.

• Advanced fluid state management.

• Niagara fluid async readback system for sampling height and fluid flow in blueprints.

• Dynamic audio analyzer. The sound source is positioned based on fluid movement.

• Four example maps – beach, island, river, and baked static river

• Uses velocity-based fluid flow advection method for foam, caustics, and waves

• Water cross-section rendering

• Large-scale nonsimulated coastline(up to 10x10 km) with wave break based on wave profile technology

• Infinite mesh grid rendering based on Niagara

• Watercolor presents advanced scattering settings and brush painter

• Underwater based on SLW material mode, working with a changeable time-of-day

• Unique underwater volumetric glass system

  
  

Limitations:

Please read the description about limitations before purchasing. It is important!

• Open-world is currently not supported.

• Multiplayer is only partially supported (detailed explanation in the documentation)

• Simulation is calculated in a 2D grid projected on the heightfield (captured ground)

• Wave breaks are not simulated. It's based on a predefined wave profile animation.

• The mobile platform is not supported

• Forward rendering (VR) works, but it is limited in functionality

• There is no integration with the Water Plugin
