In UE version 5.3 the ObjectLocalBounds node (04:16) is not searchable from the material graph. No idea why, someone enlighten me. But you can search for it in the content browser, it's in one of the Engine material functions folders. In the project root of your content browser search for ObjectLocalBounds and just drag it to your material graph.

Create a localPosition - then click on material function and change it to ObjectLocalBounds

To get the ObjectLocalBounds in UE 5.3, drag in a LocalPosition node, and then under the Details Panel on the left side, in the Material Function drop down, search for ObjectLocalBounds (MaterialFunction) and there you go!

This is the best tutorial on how to create fog! Thank you for your hard work! Why did you create duplicates of _VF01...4 and not instances? The number of instructions per instance is the same as in the master material.

@Flipside3D

Ай бұрын

Hey thank you so much for the super kind comment. You are right I could've just made 4 instances instead of 4 materials. But that would mean I would have had to tweak the master material to include switches and stuff. I just found it easier to explain it this way visually in the graph.

와 가까이에 있어야 하는 안개는 콜로소에서 알려주신 안개 말고 이거 써야겠어요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ좋은 튜토리얼 감사합니다! 근데 제가 궁금한게 있는데 아직 마야 작업중이라 언리얼 레벨작업만 해놓은상태인데 5.1로 작업했거든요 근데, 이번에 나온 메타휴먼 애니메이터가 5.2버전이 되게 좋더 라구여 5.2 프로젝트를 새로 만들어서 테이크만 뽑아내고 5.1로 만든 프로젝트로 이주 시키려면 5.2도 다운받아야 할텐데 2가지 버전을 다운로드를 꼭같은 폴더여야하진 않죠? 제가 용량이 이제없어서..

Hello sir! This fog tutorial has made a game from a smalmindi team look so much more professional it unreal (see what I did there 🤭) I do have a question that would be helpful though. Hopefully to others as well. Is there a way to make the fog show up farther away from the player? I'm sure we could figure it out but at this point everyone on the team that understand blueprints are very hard at work polishing for the upcoming GDC. And it up to me to find the answer. Much appreciated wether or not I get an answer in time. The fog looks great and I stand on the shoulders of yourself and the giants who came before us

Hey man I'm glad it's helping your game. I really appreciate your super kind comment. I think what you're looking for is the view distance options in the details of your exponential heightfog in your level. imgur.com/a/FZNMPXC Try adjusting the variables in here to control the distance. Bear in mind though this will have an inevitable impact on performance but you probably knew that already. Hope it helps, good luck!

This is great. I was looking for this a couple of months ago for the same for a project, and now it just popped up in my recommendations. Good job sir. One question - Does this work in path tracing also??

@Flipside3D

11 ай бұрын

No unfortunately, while the default volume fog is now supported in path tracing, the translation to local position seems to be not supported. I couldn't get it to work at all. Hopefully this gets updated down the line

@Flipside3D Actually I have a question if you dont mind answering? I set up my BP and Material to use in a large size Env. It works perfectly in the tut level but as soon as I pop it into my other env it disappears and the controls are impossible to get a good look. I have better control with the Mat Instance on a cube. But still with less control it seems. I played with the distance without much luck. Any suggestions? Do you have a Patreon BTW?

@Flipside3D

@@cookieClarke I have a Gumroad page with project files on it. If it's working in one level and not in another all I can suspect is that either you don't have an exponential height fog in that second level or you do have it but don't have volume fog turned on. Also keep in mind the fog kind of disappears in the shade and dark areas, which was why I made an emissive version

Thanks@@Flipside3D. I think its a matter of distance and tweaking a bit more. I definitely Have those other things in the scene. And it does work closer to camera. It just seems a bit erratic compared to your tut, where everything looked so wonderful. Apricate your reply man. Thanks for everything you do. Its awesome.

Beerslaw, on its own or into the lerp, Take the thickness from Extinction before the any of the basic multi-Intensity/power-Exp & in some cases also before Multi-Mask/multi-Grounding Nodes. Effectively it'll do what a Fresnel does darken shadow the edges of the volumetric fog by outlining it. The "greyness" in my video "Playing around with Fog UE5.2 Again. P1" - Bad example because its not tuned but gives a visual example. So you tune the darkness from beerlaws depth scale to remove the need for shadowing. If you don't want shadowing on top you'd need to look into atmosphere materials & mask some of that light direction in.... At a guess.

@DamienRamirez

Directional light has - Cast Volumetric shadows on by default & you can tune the volumetric light scattering. The other lights (Spot, point e.t.c.) do not have that enabled by default so light will pass through them until you enable it. Took a while to figure that one out. Edit: Also forgot Run 1 of the materials if you lerp as a colour curve & the other as a solid colour. Helps.

Hey man thank you for the info. However I'm having a hard time trying to understand what you are describing here, perhaps you could make a video that shows what you mean? If you do, it'll probably not only help me but other people who are interested in learning about using volume fog as well. Thanks in advance!

Is it possible to add translucency fading from top to bottom? So that near the ground the fog would be more transparent.

can tell me best source to learn unreal engine... and material construction as you showed here...
