Just a heads up, folks! If you don't find the Volumetrics Folder in the content Browser, also make sure the "Show Plugin Content" checkbox is also enabled under the "Show Engine Content" in the View Options part of the Content Browser (Seen at 01:41). I was under the impression that it was enabled by default, but I could be wrong.

I do have show engine content and plugin content enabled. I do also have the volumetrics plugin enabled. Any ideas? I see 2 cloud blueprints that are called BP_Flat_Cloud_Layer(doesn't work) and BP_Volumetric_Cloud_layer. If you can help it would be much appreciated!

Another home run William. Love it when you run it through a second time. I’m personally a 3-4x run through guy to get it down :) curious where can I look to affect the color of the clouds to make it look like rain?

This is very helpful! One need to be very hacky to make creative things with Unreal, and it is specially hard for beginners. I am actually taking a time to simply animate the position of the clouds. It does not show any updates on the clouds, or their positions while playing a scene, although the icon itself is moving...

Very nice, spot-on video, like always. Cheers, mate! Unfortunately I'm watching this after the 5.1 release and there might be another cloud version without the Volumetrics plugin, since I'm using Volumetric Cloud from the EngineSky folder. I have the feeling this version is more stable but seems to lack the direction capabilities on my first glance.

Hey William! Excellent content...I'm new to Unreal as of 4 months ago but have learned a lot from watching your videos. So I am looking for more control of the sun and moon with my own lighting setup versus having to rely on UDS. Any suggestions? Would you be willing to make an episode for this specifically? Thanks, brother!

It feels like all of these settings should be built into the volumetric cloud actor itself. Hopefully they integrate this better with UE5

Hi, thanks for these videos and all the great content you provide. One question I have is that my clouds look different while in editor compared to those while playing. In editor I set my clouds as I want them but as soon as I hit play, they look nowhere near as I placed them. The appear far away, with a different scale and shape. What am I missing?

William, for 4 months (that's when I first installed ue4) I have been trying to make ground level volumetrics without the general "haze" of the environment fog. Could you go over fog planes, volume shaders, particle systems/w enviro fog, and other procedural/image seq based fogs. Things that make swirly low ground mists and localized volumetrics around lights that don't fog out the whole scene? I have found fog planes to be better than any volumetric shaders, but I think there must be a better way than a flat plane.

You'll just have to add a panner to the material in question. The default volumetric cloud materials have the correct node setup, just need to copy them into the cloud material of your choice.

Hey man! Ty so much for these tips. I could not find these informations in the UE4 official videos,you are a sure thing. I’m still using the old cloud system from 4.26 preview by ryan brucks for my last project to create a huge sand storm thanks to the possibility to place the clouds near the ground and move them in sequencer using material parameter collection,but it is not optimized anymore. This cloud mask BP could be a game changer for me. Ty again great video.

William, when I apply M_volumetric_Cloud Billowy as well as the other materials from that folder to the Volumetric cloud - clouds disappear. And nothing is happening after I scale or move BP_Cloud_Mask object. I`ve read that it`s a common thing in UE5 but i haven`t found the solution yet. Do you have any ideas how can I fix this? I stuck at the multiple sky tutorials with that specific volumetric materials:.(

this is sick! Would love to know how to introduce lightning into those clouds ... ? Maybe an emmissive input of some kind, not quite sure

Great video and love the videos you're putting together for the channel. I'm curious to how to place a planet in the background while the clouds can still move over the planet.
