Hey, it was hard constraints

@@flyzvfx Thank you so much for such a quick reply! I’m currently doing similar shot and you just helped me a lot! Is there a chance I could contact you outside of YT and ask one more question about car sim?

Oh not sure! But I started with UE and I have to say is very very impressive

With a lot of other people, yes!

@@flyzvfx Then, very hornor to meet you!

Are you active in Instagram?

Really appreciate the work you do❤

Hope to be back soon <3

Grazie uomo, ci mancava solo il tuo trailer qui

Thanks man, hope you are doing great!

Yes, been working on the industry for 6 years. Been working at the same company as mid for over 2 years but probably if I get hired to a new one would be a senior position

It's definitely too much. On my PC it took 3-4 hours total maybe, I don't remember exactly was too long ago and definitely with a machine not too good other than having 64/128 GB of ram. But definitely not 30 mins per frame. How many particles do you get going to 0.01 particle separation? Maybe you go out of RAM or if you changed the river bed maybe you get too many particles

@@flyzvfx with proxy sim cache to Initial State, it was 300 millions particles. Lol, I gotta lower the particle sep to 0.02 after that so my PC doesn't explode. I have only 64GB of Ram with 11700k. I think not enough Ram is the issue as you address here.

@@flyzvfx after lowering Particles Sep to 0.02, caching only take 2 min/frame. Thank you for a great breakdown.

@@sleepingonthecouch95 awesome good to know. Then yes, definitely out of RAM issue

yes of course

Yes, and if someone doesnt want to built it by themselves there is the video. I gave it for free or almost to many students who needed and asked it, as for the other project files. If people/studio werent using it for commercial projects almost identically as it is profiting hundreds if not thousands, it would still be at a lower price

I don't know enough Unreal to tell you that it's possible but I wouldn't see why not. For sure you will have no problems with the ripples and splashes textures. Does it handle also well a lot of particles?

Sure, can you write me at [email protected]? Thank you

It doesn't but you can make it loop. In comp is easy but if you want to do it in 3d you just need in a range of 20-30 frames to blend in the particles before meshing. So let's say you are at the frame END-30, here with a random threshold I guess you can start to reintroduce the particles from the initial frame. Over the following 30 frames you will delete all the particles from the end of the sim and you will fade in all the particles from the start. Never tried but I'm pretty sure it's going to work nicely with the meshing after. Thats the first thing I would try. Let me know if it works

@@flyzvfx ok will do thanks

Hey, that's actually something I wanted to test for a long time: rendering the enviroment with Unreal Engine and using that render as a "plate" and add on top FX rendered in Houdini/Mantra. The reason is to save render time, if you have only one workstation to work and render with. UE is becoming better and better and with the implementation of megascan you can create enviroments easily and render them quick. But the main FX elements (for example in this case the river/foam) for what I have seen you still need to render them in Houdini probably because I haven't seen it yet the same level of quality, but I could be wrong because I have not much experience in UE shading. Of course you can then use DaVinci for compositing, the software really doesnt matter much. What matters for comp is the technique. As long as you can do color corrections you are fine.

Thanks for reply.

@@flyzvfx Hey actually I'm going to try and put this river in unreal. I have no experience with Houdini so I'm hoping that I can somehow implement it into UE as an alembic. I do want to also change the river path...need to learn how to do that haha

I'm not sure if is possible with the recent versions of third parties. In an older version of Redshift I was looking for it but there weren't any options similar to this render time conversion, which is a little bit annoying since doing it this way you can retain a lot of details and also having some subsurface/reflective kind of look. And in Mantra is also fast to render

Thanks! Hopefully is clear enough skippinf through like this, otherwise would have been hours

Da quanto!! Si certamente. Mai mollato! Te che fai?

@@flyzvfx Io pure! faccio principalmente hardsurface e shading
