Decided to make a little showcase of the new features in the latest 1.40 update of Sky Creator for #UE5. Lots of videos ahead! Weather FX - Rain (updated). The rain particle material has been updated from the previous version to look more natural with support for refraction.

This is #UnrealEngine5 and there is not a single light source in this level, all materials are unlit.

What a fantastic presentation. Niagara is absolutely one of the things why I love UE - it can be simple and incredibly advanced at the same time. https://t.co/Z3zQkyoz7d

Meaning: we can sample Volumetric Clouds here directly in Niagara GPU (hello localized weather), without any overhead from the game thread like before.

It was an ok method, but the performance was questionable - up to 0.30 ms for a single material readback... But luckily we're able to create own Niagara Data Interfaces with custom logic and now I'm doing the same GPU dispatch and the perf now is just 0.01 ms! 😈😈😈
Today's progress: made the output of the "Async Get Cloud Density" compute shader function to decide whether we want to spawn the actual lightnings (if the density is above some threshold). Getting there 🌦️ Bonus: Cloud Mask Actors and some Distant Rain. #UE5 #techart

I'm super happy for being responsible for a 0.001% part of the art direction of this wonderful game! Of course not directly, but this is still most probably the biggest project showcasing my "Screen Space Fog Scattering" plugin 🥹 Once you see it, you cannot unsee it...

When an Unreal 5.3+ game runs, it will immediately kick off precompilation of global shaders. You should wait for that to complete before starting the game, otherwise you'll likely get hitches. You do that with the NumPrecompilingPSOsRemaining node. #uetips

Recent discovery in #UE Using a custom "Mesh Pass Processor" and custom "Material Output" node, you can write arbitrary GBuffer-style data from base pass to texture for a following re-use in post processing. I modified the AddMeshPassPlugin for that. https://t.co/ouSNVglz1U

Ok, so seems like plugging it into normal and roughness is still a way to go, if you want the sparkles to be lit naturally. Even though the effects is a bit dim, it's the most plug and play approach with minimal tinkering. Anyways thanks everyone for different kind of tips!

Here's the whole thing if someone wants to experiment. The glint and the hash material functions.

Plugging it into roughness/specular/metallic somewhat makes sense, but gives a result that's way too dim and clamped. And plugging it into emissive makes it physically incorrect and unaware of surrounding light & shadows. What else could be done?

So I made a pretty cool pseudo procedural snow glints where the camera location/direction/fov values are generating new hash for rotating and offsetting UV for a screen space glint texture. But I'm still largely unsure how to make it behave correctly with light. Any ideas? 🧐

Testing new Snow Deformation (nanite) & Snow Glints effects for Sky Creator 2.0. Particularly happy for the trails as it works automatically with no setup from a user. The trails are computed based on a few independent ortho scene depth captures for static and dynamic objects.

Oh hey, written reviews are back on @fab ! Old reviews have also been migrated. I've said this before, the best way to support the creators you love is to leave a rating/review on their products. Don't do it for me, do it to support developers! #UnrealEngine #gamedev
