Community Showcase

I am a beginner, not an advanced Unreal user/designer/artist. So maybe this project is useful for those other beginners out there.
So I am really starting from scratch, and progress is going very slow. I have a website for my project. http://unreal.fluiddynamics.eu/ . When there is some progress, I will post this in this thread. Or when I have solved one of the many problems / challenges I am facing.

I am a lecturer Civil Engineering, looking for opportunities to create a new kind of education. Linkedin: https://nl.linkedin.com/in/henk-massink-b28b927
Main goal is to educate fluid dynamics by the use of a virtual world.

Basic idea behind the project The project – Unreal Fluid Dynamics

Workflow : ufd_workflow.vue

Creating terrain with specific dimensions

The first problem I had to overcome was to build a terrain with specific dimensions.

I made a post about it earlier Ramp tool landscape, coordinates? - Content Creation - Unreal Engine Forums

Building Dedicated Server with Visual Studio 2015

My experiences in building a dedicated server, with Visual Studio 2015.
Although there are several tutorials, each were not working 100%. Mainly because of small changes in versions.
Because my project is going to be online multiplayer, I wrote done the steps as specific as possible.
The steps can be found at Building Dedicated Server – Unreal Fluid Dynamics
I am going to check the steps regularly and adjust them if necessary.

Probably the biggest challenge was to get a level visible when starting a client. This is also a problem in some of the video tutorials. Solution was simple, just change a setting during packaging. The thing was that the setting was somewhat hidden.
See Settings UE editor – Unreal Fluid Dynamics

So next picture looks stupid, 4 guys on a dune. But for me a moment of triumph, the server was working and I was able to start 4 clients on my computer.

How to get my project on github.com

In the future I hope people will help me building the project. So I decided to upload my project to github.
This was not an easy task. But in the end it happened.
See post on my website

I am still not sure which files I should add to the repository and which not. Does anybody has some suggestions?
