Interactive Water - Building Worlds In Unreal - Episode 27

In this video, I show you how to use the fluid simulation tools in Unreal Engine 4.26 to add dynamic and interactive ripples to the water in your map. First, I show how to fix a bug that prevents water simulation from working. And then I add the components to our scene and show how to set it up.

Here's the previous episode on water bouyancy:

HOLY SHIT BALLS! Finally someone that actually understands what they are showing!

[philluo]

hi, it work in UE4, but not in UE5, anyone how to fix it?

[mongmong]

You are the best
Since I found this tutorials I don't need to expend any money or times to get other tutorials

[MRDDev]

Great video as always now we can finally use this system like they did on the preview

[wesleyjames]

Thank you so much! I've been getting nowhere with this myself. Really appreciate your content!

[PFINNEY]

Thank you! This is the first UE water tutorial that's actually helped me :)

[dfx]

Thank you for the simple and straight forward tutorial! This is the first time since 4.26 came out that I've been able to get the fluid sim working! Now on to the rest of the series...

[gabehenry]

would love an update to this video with the interactive water working in UE5

[moddes]

Brilliant video, made it look so easy getting the fluid sim to work haha! Amazing content as usual Ben, thanks!

[veronikadziubliuk]

I've been struggling with this for so long! THANK YOU!

[julienb]

Thank you ! Please make the same tutorial for UE5.1 :)

[msinclaircorp]

YES!! i learn a lot!!, thanks to you Ben, the topic of the foam is very important!! i am looking answers to.

Life saver as always...much needed video. Have you had any luck using the water tool with world composition? I have been racking my brain trying to get it to work in a tiled map in world comp. Thx again for this video series! Super helpful!!!

They made the same kind of mistake with the paintable clouds demo. It doesn't work by default in the demo, you have to connect a texture in it to another place for it to work. It feels like the documentation is so bad and things just randomly don't seem to work how they should. I hope they fix those with UE5. Their custom HLSL documentation page is outdated and doesn't work too. I was really looking forward to writing my own custom shaders.

Thanks you for this video and did you make a video for do this with the third person character ?

[yuling]

Brother, is there any content about snow or mud interactive simulations tutorial

[felixmikolai]

Sir please consider making a tutorial series on the voxel plugin for ue4!

i guess its a big part of the future of gaming and there isnt much content for beginners at all at the moment.

thanks for your content as always <3

[lhwweiss]

Is it possible to make the default third person character interact with water like the yellow character?

[alan]

Thank youuu! Any chances to have this topic covered in UE5?

Hello Ben! Really great tutorial! Did you ever manage to make the river foam work depending on the velocity applied to the spline points? I've been searching how to do it for a while, in vain. There is a video of the plugin from Epic showing foam based on the velocity.
