[] Ocean surface simulation (VaOcean)

CloVeCaT · June 25, 2014, 4:40pm

Select a mesh and apply the material, inside the “Details” panel under “Blueprint” hit on “Replace With Composite Blueprint”.
Select a folder and hit “Create Blueprint”.
Now you either simply can copy and paste the “VaOceanSimulator” component from the pre-existent blueprint, or create it by yourself ( see below ).

“Add Component” search for Enviroment > Va Ocean Simulator.
Over “Ocean Spectrum” always in the “Component” window with the “VaOceanSimulator” selected add the displancement maps and the gradient map. Hit simulation.

thanks so much for the help. your instructions were very easy to follow. unfortunately, i get a crash every time i hit “simulate” in the blueprint. the program just quits and doesn’t say anything. i actually get this in any of the ocean blueprints…whether i added the components myself or opened one of the blueprints that came with the …whether it’s related to a mesh or not…no matter what as soon as i hit simulation in any of the blueprints ue4 just quits on me.
any idea why this could be?
thanks again!

Delete the folder “[PROJECT]/DerivedDataCache” - “[PROJECT]/Intermediate” - “[PROJECT]/saved”.
Re-enable the , darg-and-drop the blueprint BP_VaOcean and hit simulate, attach the full content of the log.

ok i deleted all three folders, re-enabled the plug in, drag and droped the blueprint in the scene, hit simulation in the blueprint, got the same crash as before. below is the logfile. thanks so much for your help:

below is the critical error part of the log. i’m using a GeForce GTS 250. could it be to a too crappy video card? just updated the drivers…still same error.

Yes, it is. I’m using stuff that works okay only on DirectX11 video cards. Unfortunately, your hardware is DX 10

ah shoot. i knew it…i couldn’t get displacement maps to show up on meshes anywhere. thought maybe because i was dumb but probably just my video card. time to upgrade i guess. thanks for all the help.

Hi,
version is 0.4-a6 the DLL is builded with 4.2.1.

Thanks so much the the DLL download link!

anonymous_user_14ca5ecd · July 1, 2014, 5:02pm

Hi, . Thanks for your nice plugins. but I have some question…
I saw very useful information for my project on .
link is here : ://.com//VaOcean/wiki

First.
You’ve written
“1. Ocean state actor
Step 1: Add ocean state actor on scene, use VaOceanStateActorSimple class”
But… I can’t find the class that named VaOceanStateActorSimple.
Where can I get it?

Second. Actor buoyancy setup.
I can’t find VaOceanBuoyancy class… Oh my god… T_T.

Two matters are really important thing for my project…

Because, I am making a Kayak simulator. Please Help me!

anonymous_user_14ca5ecd · July 1, 2014, 5:08pm

And… Actually I can set some options about amplitude and changing colors of ocean… etc… in your plugins. Of course, Using by Blueprint.
But
I can’t understand “Actor buoyancy setup” part…

Why there are two classes(VaOceanBuoyancy1, StaticMesh1) in Blueprint? Why! What you’ve done on Blueprint!

I think I need VaOceanBuyancy class, in order to do “Actor buoyancy setup”.

Help me!

ufna · July 1, 2014, 5:08pm

Hi Min-!

To use ocean state actor and buoyancy conponent you should build the from source code from develop branch (not master!)

anonymous_user_14ca5ecd · July 1, 2014, 5:45pm

Thanks!
I tried it.
But, Develop version can’t adjust any factor of waves like amplitude, wind etc.

How do I set those things?
Do I have to write codes?

anonymous_user_44214bd2 · July 4, 2014, 9:51am

Looks like a great effort. Let us know when it’s compatible with the 4.3 source.

Shelby · July 7, 2014, 10:29am

Hey ufna,

First of all, your looks amazing!

I wanted to know what is fake SSS, and how assets with this are different from those without it?

Also I have a problem, I built the develop branch by myself, the shows up correctly and I follow the instructions there: ://.com/ufna/VaOcean/wiki/Simple-ocean-setup but nothing shows up.
I have VaOceanStateActorSimple, BP_VaOcean_Simple and _Flat in my scene, but there is no ocean…

I also have a lot of errors:

Once 4.3 will be out. I’m working with pre-build UE4 only.

[QUOTE=Shelby;91263]

Fake SSS assets contains LightVector emulation, so if you’ll use it you should provide material instance with your dominant light vector, and fake subsurface scattering will be enabled:

Hm, it looks like my fault. It can be fixed manually by fixing references to assets from content folder, or you can copy the Content to the game’s content folder. I’ll check it tommorrow.

anonymous_user_2db7ca80 · July 7, 2014, 4:37pm

I made my own buoyancy component (sorry haven’t checked this thread in a while, must have missed you linking to yours!). Just updated to the latest version of the and I’m a bit confused about how your buoyant component works. As far as I can tell, it only gets the hight of the ocean from whatever texture you put as the Ocean Height Map in the OceanState actor. However, this texture doesn’t seem to be linked to the ocean simulator itself so objects buoyancy is not based on the waves? Or have I misunderstood how it is all connected?

Further, in your tutorial, you suggest increasing the damping (both linear and angular) or otherwise the objects are too bouncy. I had this problem too. I believe it came from partly an incorrect calculation whereby the force was proportional to the square of the depth of the object (which isn’t correct - it should be capped based on how tall the object it). The other main reason is water provides a lot of resistance to motion. Therefore, I believe a separate damping force should be applied to the object (again proportional to submerged volume) to dampen the motion. For me at least, this solved the trampoline like effect without causing the object to move too slowly when dropped onto the water from height. I can’t see anywhere in UVaOceanBuoyancyComponent::PerformWaveReaction where this is being performed, but again, I’m a bit confused by new structure so maybe I’ve missed it.

Happy to share what I’ve got but the new layout has thrown me so wanted to see if I’d missed anything?

Shelby · July 7, 2014, 4:50pm

I have another question/suggestion:

Hhow could I do to fade the opacity on beaches? Like if the water is very close to the landscape, the water is nearly invisible.
Kind of like that: http://mazika2day.com/images/images/35223286015501312960.jpg

It would reduce the clipping between water and landscape.

Edit: Fixed it. I changed the material to Translucent and added DepthFade!
