FluidNinja LIVE

Supported Version – Unreal Engine 5.4+

What is FluidNinja LIVE ?

FluidNinja LIVE 1.9.54.4: fast, responsive Fluid Simulation for Character and Environment VFX.Drive dynamic systems with fluidsim: water, clouds, smoke, fire, sand, snow and foliage.

Features 

Robust: capable to track hundreds of objects and bones, including Metahuman skeletons
Large scale: local fluid solver extended with global pattern generators – to render large fields of sand, water, fog
Volumetrics: supporting all native UE Volume types: Fog, Clouds and Heterogeneous Volumes
Simple-mode: track objects and draw trajectories without running fluidsim (eg. footsteps, wheeltracks)
Scalable: could be optimized for low-end hardware or run a 4k sim container
Modular: could be added as ActorComponent / could drive other components (niagara, volumes)
Cinematics: ready for rendering via Movie Render Queue, supports Sequencer
Niagara: two-way data flow – drive particles using fluidsim / drive fluidsim using particles
Sim buffers exposed to Render Targets (density, velocity, pressure)
Examples included: 20 use case levels and 30 tutorial levels
Large distances: unreal Large World Coordinates (LWC) are supported
Important: NINJA IS NOT REPLICATED, MULTIPLAYER IS NOT SUPPORTED
