Testing of a preliminary prototype of objects on water and an electrical anomaly. Just two months ago, I couldn't have imagined that I would be able to do that things... Unreal Engine 5 = incredible technologies
I added a collision with some objects to the anomaly to create an arc and affect them. I got a bunch of ideas for anomaly behavior, interaction with the hero, level design. Maybe it's similar to S.T.A.L.K.E.R., but I confess, I've never played this game
The main idea of this is that when lightning strikes a magnetic anomaly (some areas on the surface of the planet), lightning partially breaks into several parts, from which ball lightning is created
If you have cool textures animation frames for Niagara effect in Unreal Engine, then you can make high-quality effects that require less resources than Niagara Fluids and look no worse. For example, they can be generated in Houdini
Ok, overcome my laziness, I make a simple material for a very simple liquid in a container. These are two cylinder objects, on one is the glass material, on the other is what I made as a liquid
Classic bottle with liquid. I've always wanted to have such a object in the game for inspection... I don't have enough experience to do it from scratch and I don't want to waste time, so I found a free plugin UTC_LiquidShader for Unreal Engine 5
There will be many anomalous zones on this planet, one of which is magnetic. Some stones will levitate in such areas. It will be possible to extract a special ore from them
Today I created a simple custom logic for the behavior of floating objects. The object located in the water zone checks the distance from the bottom and Add Force, Set Linear and Angular Damping. This is not related to the water plugin in Unreal Engine 5
Platform behavior based on the Physics Control Plugin in Unreal Engine 5. It is not related to water, but it can be used as simple raft. I want to make a levitating stone based on it...
Today I started getting to know the water plug-in in Unreal Engine 5. Night, black water, a floating creature... I just sketched quickly what was at hand

Move Component To - very easy to use but interesting node in Unreal Engine, for example, you can make a magnetic crane that will lift heavy objects, like a car in Half-Life 2
New experiment with Niagara Fluids smoke in Unreal Engine 5. The first emitter takes a spline of any shape and sends a particle along the route, this data is transmitted to another emitter for smoke. As a result, I got smoke that forms around the spline

Unreal Engine 5 and Niagara, I experimented a bit with smoke and Line Attraction Force. When the object enters the zone, the particles change their behavior
I am trying to make different options for object inspection. Do not pay attention HUD, only the mechanics are of interest now. What else exists, remember? I want to reproduce as many as possible in order to choose for game

I created a draft battery and added a little logic to charge the batteries, the more batteries or the less light, the slower it charges from the solar panel. I really enjoyed the process of creating widgets, I hated doing UI in Unity 🧦
I make solar panels to charge energy batteries from starlight. One of the main mechanics in the Sci-Fi game is the use of batteries, of which there will be a lot. Find or craft and charge... for tools, transport, etc
I continue to develop different mechanics related to energy, started making solar panels to charge the batteries, panel elements react to objects blocking the sun... will connect it with cables next
Unreal Engine 5 at Sunday... I studied the connections between objects and components... for experiments I created a generator, cables and consumers. Now my cables can transmit energy ⚡️🔌💡
It's not quite a cable, it's a tentacles, but the concept of creation is very similar. Particles in Niagara that keep a certain distance between themselves. Maybe someday I'll come up with something to do with it 🐙
I know I post too many cable videos, but this is the last one, or the penultimate one. Let me remind you that I am still learning Unreal Engine and at a very early stage, so I am interested in trying everything that comes to mind
