This project aims to simulate an ocean in UE4 with as much realism as possible, and a custom SkyDome with weather effects. Some of the current features include:
- Gerstner Waves generated using the displacement calculations found in GPU Gems from Nvidia.
- Translucent water material with depth based opacity, real-time SubSurface Scattering (SSS) based on the sun position, displacement & normal maps for smaller surface waves, foam generation, and much more
- A custom SkyDome with dynamic time of day and weather effects (partially completed, still WIP)
- Underwater caustics and Post Process effects
- Underwater sea life including a variety of fish, all using a custom AI flocking behavior including both predator and prey algorithms.
- Realistic Buoyancy for both static meshes and Apex destructible meshes
- No source code required in project, all is contained within a plugin that exposes functionality to blueprints
- and much more
