Infinity Weather

Description

Infinity Weather is a robust and efficient weather control system designed for Unreal Engine.

Displacement:

• two displacement modes (parallax, tessellation)

• configurable displacement capture blueprint

• top-down projection of displacements rendered using shape definition in the shader (sphere, capsule, box, cylinder, decal, trace-sphere)

• skeletal mesh displacement

• interface for easy integration with all types of actors

• area of displacement moves dynamically with the actor or camera 

• time-based snow accumulation

• displacements can be used for multiple other effects (like grass interaction)

• small world texture (1024x1024) can handle even 150x150m area

• example displacement materials ( snow, mud, sand, grass) and ground layers (rock, grass, mud, sand)

• mixing displacement and dynamic weather.

• Virtual texturing and layered landscape materials

Sky:

• blendable volumetric clouds preset, and circulate secondary area of cloud

• Solar system based on date and coordinates

• lightning effect (including mesh and material from Lightning Fast)

• fog, post-process, background clouds, stars, moon, and more

• sequencer support

Footstep:

• notification footsteps system

• example footstep types (SFX, VFX) snow, rain, mud

• physics material support

• configurable footstep component adjustable per character

• footstep volumes with priorities and conditional spawning

Precipitation:

• Niagara presets of snow, rain, dust, hail

• GPU-friendly and efficient

• dynamic movable occlusion maps

• crossfade wind and rain sound effects

  
  

  Technical details
  

  Precipitation:

• GPU Niagara presets of snow, rain, dust, hail
• dynamic movable occlusion maps
• wind and rain sound effects

Post-process:

• post-process effects (raindrops, frozen, sharpen/blur) switched with material permutations
• pre-translucent effects (rain circles, heat haze, experimental glitter)
• reacts dynamically to weather conditions

Environment:

• weather controller actor
• spherical volumetric fog area and atmosphere and temperature
• surface material function (snow/wet layer)
• spline-based rainbow mesh with camera-facing
• water puddle decal
• wind reactive: precipitation, ground dust, flags, trees, bushes, grass, emitters, character, sky, water
• example maps: Snow, Sand, Rain, World

Blueprints: 31

Materials: 61 + 73 instances (122 functions)

Textures: 79 (free starter pack textures included)

Niagara: 25

Sounds: 37

Size: 246mb + 37mb (demo content)

Replication: Yes

Platforms: PC/Console, Windows/Mac

Open world: I believe so. It has not been tested yet on massive maps, but I will.

Mobile: Limited (no displacements, no post-process)

Notes: The package contains example content (Textures/Meshes) from Starter Content used only for demonstration purposes.
