I know, its a general UE4 thing …
I am not able to locate anything on how to replicate the waters “ripples” and project them onto walls, say, of a cave. I have looked over the ones on the island map, and, thats really not much help …
anyone know how to do this?
You could always add a texture or particle effect that looks like it… not sure you would get the effect you want any other way
What you’re talking about is called caustics.
Take a look at the the “Effects Cave” sample in Epic launcher’s “Learn” tab.
Do you know if this is supposed in the ark dev kit version of unreal?
Well it’s not a part of any dev kit, it’s an engine sample. You download it with Epic’s launcher.
That should’ve said supported. Ark doesn’t let you use certain features that work in the standard unreal engine, which is why I asked… I’m guessing you haven’t tested it
No I haven’t. I don’t even have Ark. What you’re describing has a sample in UE4 so I’m just letting you know where to look for your answer, whether the same technique works in Ark, I have no idea.
Appreciate the heads up x I may check into this myself… would be awesome if it is supported
Yes, Caustics. There are 2 samples that come with the editor … they look good.
