[RELEASED] for UE4: Complete Sky and Weather System

[AngeIV]

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.

1. Great. I will check it out.
2. Can I run the same cloud sequence but drive the amount of clouds or weather conditions locally, and interpolate the values if a player comes closer to a source of weather effect changing origin. So if a control weather spell is cast in a location it will change weather for local players around it gradually. I know I cant add at runtime a “Storm” to the sequence… But I can control the rain amount from 0-1 value at runtime?
3. Enough to experiment. The bayonacy works great. More realistic than expected.
4. How to make a proper shoreline on beach or lake-shore ? I see there is a rendertarget input but I haven’t found a rendertarget capture class for water?

One additional question. The full expensive licence for non-indie studios comes with setup support or some professional training or Q&A sessions over skype?
