Today I am going to implement a global wind system in unreal engine 5. Using the wind controller, we will be able to change,
- Direction of the wind
- Power/Strength of the wind
- Turbulence level.
These settings will be applied globally. So, all the trees and grass blades will change their wind bending direction according to the settings in global wind controller.
I originally developed the wind material setup in unreal engine 4 and full tutorial is available in following link as a part of unreal open world series. You can follow the same tutorial in Unreal 5 As well.
