This article presents a comprehensive guide to simulating realistic, loopable waterfalls in Houdini for Unreal Engine integration. It explores advanced fluid dynamics with FLIP, particle behavior tuning, mesh generation via VDBs, and the use of POP forces for natural flow shaping. The workflow balances artistic control with technical precision, optimizing for seamless playback, motion vectors, and real-time engine performance.
