Realistic ocean simulator

We’re opening this thread for our Realistic Ocean Simulator support. At the moment, even if it has been regularly published on the marketplace, for some reason it doesn’t actually start the download for the plugin. We informed Epic Support and we’re waiting for them to solve it, as soon as we receive news from them we’ll post the news here.

We just published our Realistic Ocean Simulator on the marketplace but it seems there’s somekind of problem with the download: it doesn’t start even if everything seems to be correct. We’re waiting for the support to solve the problem. We’ll start answering your questions as soon as Marketplace guys give us a feedback, hopefully later on even today!

Good news, the download is working now

I cannot locate the *.usf shaders to copy over to Engine/Shaders

Edit: all the *.usf files show up when adding the plugin to version 4.15 but are not there in 4.16, all working now

The shaders can be downloaded from here: https://we.tl/vYB9wK2BG3

The 4.17 version is now online!

How do I increase the Ocean size or have it fill the world??

how heavy is this plugin on performance? Do you guys have any baseline stats. Looks beautiful.

Please update to 4.18

Any ETA on the update to 4.18??

What is taking so long, it should not take this long to update a plugin!!!

Spamming the creator isn’t going to speed the process up. People develop things for the marketplace often as a part time hobby/job, perhaps the creator is busy, hasn’t had a chance to sit down with 4.18 since it launched SIX days ago.

4.18 doesn’t seem like it adds a massive amount of new functionality. It’s predominantly lighting/lightmaps. Just stay on 4.17 until the plugins and assets you need are updated?

So I added the updated plugin to my project and it says it’s not installed when I try to open a 4.18 version of my project, How do I fix this??

@STCWare So I’ve just bought the plugin. When I activate it and restart it does not show up?
Any help would be great :wink:
I tried .17 and .18
thx

Hi Thijs, as per e-mail, we requested Epic support on this issue, since it doesn’t seem to be related to the plugin itself. As soon as they give us update we’ll get back on it, let’s keep in touch!

Thx :slight_smile: I’ll try some re-installing

Edit: Re-installed but still not working

Doh… I have to apologize. I read the instruction but the big arrow lead me to believe I had to click where the arrow points :rolleyes: . Did not see the eye-icon…
My bad. Got it working…

Hahah feel so stupid…:o

4.17/4.18 Update Release Notes:

  • Fixed a bug when trying to tweak the ocean actor after having ejected from the main player camera.
  • Added a reference plane to aid during the editing phase.

@STCWare does this plugin support forward shading? Instanced stereo VR? Any way to remove the water from ship interiors?
