FluidNinja LIVE

Welcome to NinjaLive 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 RenderTargets (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
