[RELEASED] for UE4: Complete Sky and Weather System

[James_Simul]

Yes there is.

Regard that I have played today some with and trueWater. I must say I’m stunned. I particularly love the weather system.
I have some questions. I would love to know if some things are possible without going in depth into it - a yes/no answer would be enough, although having an answer like “look into < passphrase to check it out” would be even greater.
so…

1. Can I get a reading on the humidity/wetness on an area? in other words can I make landscape and rocks etc wet when its raining? Or accumulate snow where its snowing?
2. Can I change weather locally without influencing the entire simulation that is global. Let’s say I want to be able to influence the weather for some multiplayer players in a certain area, but I dont want it to affect players whom are 5 km away. They don’t need to precisely see what going on that 5 km away, but I cant have an instant cutoff from one weather to another. It cant just swap to cloudy weather in an instance. Is it doable?
3. where can I find documentation on water and how I can use it?
4. Can I customize water material?

I am mostly interested in the possibility of using as season simulation.

1. You can get current sky values at a position through Code or Blueprints

2. You can have weather such as rain to be regional, and that region can move with the wind. Currently, you can only change the weather for the entire sky. You can’t have it cloudy in one area and not in another ( is however a that has been worked on).

3. Like all our documentation, it is lacking but is being currently rewritten. You can take a look at the blog (https://simul.co/real-time-rendering-news/) I write, but I know will not be as helpful as you would like.

4. We do not use a material for the water, the colours are calculated through our variables. If you describe what you would like to do with the water I can give you a better answer.
