How to Create Fluid Like RealFlow

Development Asset Creation FX

Hello guys,

I am looking for a way to create a scene like this using UE. Are there any suggestions? I tried figuring it out using Niagara but couldn’t find a solution. In general, I find working with fluid extremely difficult in UE.

[FOUND THE SOLUTION]

Use software such as Blender or Maya to generate this kind of animation, export the animation using Alembic format, and then import it to UE. I would like to mention that for game developers Alembic might not be the best option as it generates large files. This method is mainly suitable for cinematics and animations that would only be rendered outs. (You can still use it in games but you have to be very careful with the data)

Check out a complete introduction about Alembic using UE and Blender here:


There are of course other solutions available in UE such as Niagara Simulation Stages; however, you will need to be a pro knowing how to deal with Grid 3D and some HLSL Codes.

Please add to this discussion if you have alternative solutions in mind. Thank you.
