Nice. Btw the water interop plugin adds a Get Water Spline Data node that makes it easier to get properly sized points along the river spline, and also exposes metadata like flow velocity etc. It's wip but should give a leg up.

Thanks for the tip! I'm gonna take a look!also we can use a material on the river bottom using the water system and filter by the material. It works well too!

I'm not sure if anyone has noticed, but you can still use the input node for landscape. If you change the label to Landscape, and change the Allowed type to Landscape or Surface, it will work. You don't really need the Get Landscape Data node

You're right!It is also an option do that.

Before I attempt this, I have an imported heightmap that is larger than the basic startup map. Will I have an issue applying these features on a larger map? I ask because this does not seem to work on my map...

Hello @Preirin . If you generate a landscape using a height map e got the data from that landscape I don't see why wouldn't work. You still having issues with that?

This was also possible before 5.4, you dont need the new plugins

Since 5.2 👍

There is no problem with the content of this water plug-in when the game is running, but it does not work properly during lens rendering and cannot be rendered! Is there a solution? Thanks

Hello! That's odd. A few people are complaining about similar problems, but I couldn't find the same error testing here. It might not solve the problem, but have you tried another version of the engine or a new project, to see if it's the version or something in your project?Maybe there is something in your project that need to activate some additional plugins.

@@UnrealverseLabs Hello, glad to get your reply. I am currently on versions 5.3.2 and 5.4.1. The 5.3.2 version is normal. In 5.4.1, the water body cannot be rendered in the lens sequence. The same is true for new projects. I have not found a solution yet. No official reply has been received! No matter what, there are other solutions, so thank you! I hope Epic can solve this problem as soon as possible!

water doesn´t render using 5.4 . preview "problem"? any idea?

@UnrealverseLabs Ай бұрын

Hello!For me the Water System is working without any problems on the 5.4 Preview. Sometimes the Water Plugin has some bugs (for still be an experimental plugin) regardless of the version. Have you checked, if there is more than one water brush in the outliner? or test the Water System in other level or even in other project?

Facing same problem. Suddenly Ocean and river ceased rendering at UE 5.4 preview Pls let me know if you solved it anyway.

@XOCKS88 Ай бұрын

Facing same problem, and test in a new project, the water renders in a black shade, Pls let us know if there is a solution.

@@aidz2009 hello!Might be a bug for the 5.4 preview, even though my UE 5.4 the water system is working fine. - Did you try a more stable version like the 5.3 or 5.3.2 to see if the problem persists? - Also, did you change the Water Shader properties directly on the Water Shader material from the Watersystem, if you do that all the changes that you did on the water shader will reflect acroos all your projects. If the problem is across projects the chance to be something with your Unreal version vs Computer or a change directly on the Water System is more likely.
