Hi. They are both the latest versions, its normal for the version numbers to be different as they are on different platforms, released at different times. The fab and artstation versions are identical.

22

Hi, Iā€™m pretty sure this is just a limitation of the render layers, translucent materials are never written correctly. Its not an easyfog limitation, its a translucent material limitation.

Hi! My EasyFog in my level looks completely black no matter what color change I did in the settingsā€¦ Please help!

Have you tried adding some emissive? What about the normal map, and if you change it? Did you scale it a weird way?

25

Iā€™m using the EasyFog update version on UE5.7, and the BP_EasyFog Transform coordinations are greyed out. It canā€™t be changed. You can still manipulate the fogā€™s position, size, and angle with the gizmo in the Editor. Can it be fixed?

26

yeah i am also trying to figure out whats the issue for this or hw it can be solved.

27

Your designs look so cool I canā€™t wait till I make my own world and hopefully buy some of your creations in the future

hi

Hi William, do you have these tools anywhere else ? Iā€™m unable to purchase anything from this stupid FAB. I try every time there is a sale and the payment keeps failing and I see lots of people having the same issue. Epic is in your way of becoming a millionaire.
I wish there was another way to purchase your tools. Please let me know.
Big fan

Hello there, posting here since some might find it helpful.

Inside the EasyFog Material, thereā€™s a Distance Fade multiplier for the opacity. Its purpose is to make the surface transparent as we move through it.

But in the case of lumen hardware reflections (Hit lighting), the PixelDepth node returns the distance between camera and the ā€œmirrorā€ surface, not the distance to the EasyFog actor. Meaning when you get close to a mirror like surface, EasyFog will disappear in the reflectrions.

The solution if you need it is quite simple : after the PixelDepth node, add a RaytracingQualitySwitch, use PixelDepth for normal input, and for RayTraced (Lumen Hit lighting), add a simple offset to PixelDepth.

Hope it helps !

Hi there,
Unfortunately there is no other place to purchase the tools, intentionally so. Fab is the superior place to keep everything updated with seamless integration into unreal. Having it available elsewhere is just way more work for me to manage, and incredibly inconvenient for users to stay updated. Iā€™m sorry youā€™re having issues with FAB though, that sounds odd as I have never experienced this before. Have you tried a different payment type?

hi everyone, there is a way to make the plugin works with ray tracing?

33

Anyone having flicker issues with this? Iā€™ve been using it for a while, with no problems. But now in a project that Iā€™m using Easy Fog all over the place, itā€™s decided to flicker insufferably. The project is using Lumen and raytraced shadows. Pretty standard stuff. But it is a big heavy environment. So Iā€™m thinking at some point I ran over a texture/raytrace/something-memory cache, and itā€™s causing them to flicker. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or have any troubleshooting ideas?

Hello,

I am encountering a consistent crash related to one of your Marketplace assets:

Asset name: T_mountainFog_01_N
Asset type: Texture (Normal map)
Engine version: Unreal Engine 5.7.3

Issue Description

The Unreal Editor crashes when performing either of the following actions on this texture:

  • Moving the asset to another folder in the Content Browser

  • Saving the asset (even without any modifications)

This issue occurs 100% reproducibly with this specific texture.
Other textures in the same pack behave normally.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a new empty project in Unreal Engine 5.7.3

  2. Add the ā€œEasy Fogā€ Marketplace asset to the project

  3. Locate the texture asset ā€œT_mountainFog_01_Nā€

  4. Move the asset to another folder in the Content Browser

ā†’ The editor crashes during the save process

Crash Details

The crash occurs during the save process triggered by asset move or manual save.

Relevant call stack:

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000010

UInterchangeBaseNodeContainer::SerializeNodeContainerData()
UInterchangeAssetImportData::SetNodeContainer()
UInterchangeAssetImportData::ProcessDeprecatedData()
UInterchangeAssetImportData::ProcessContainerCache()
UInterchangeAssetImportData::Serialize()

Suspected Cause

Based on the call stack, the issue appears to be related to Interchange import metadata (UInterchangeAssetImportData) associated with this asset.

Specifically, it looks like Unreal crashes while serializing Interchange data during SavePackage, which may indicate:

  • Invalid or null node container in the Interchange data

  • Corrupted import metadata

  • Deprecated data failing during conversion to the current format

Since the crash only happens during save/rename (move), the texture data itself seems valid, but the attached metadata may be inconsistent.

Request

It may be an issue specific to my environment, but since the crash also occurs in a clean project following the steps above, I would appreciate it if you could check whether this issue can be reproduced and fixed.

If needed, I can provide additional logs or further reproduction details.

Thank you very much for your support.
