Let's Build the RPG! - 16 - Unreal Engine 5 Water System Beginner Tutorial - Lakes and Rivers

1 year later. Still experimental.

Thank you

not support path tracing

how about adjusting the color of the water? i need darker color for mine and its at the moment just completely clear...

Great tutorials, but I am having a problem. My characters can walk on water? Any thoughts?

Amazing tutorial. Presently so simply, yet full of information and we can tell you have a high level of knowledge about the subject matter you are teaching. I think I'll go watch the entire series now. Great job!

I have a problem with the Water Plugin: UE5 is not not able to "Package Project" as soon the Water Plugin is activated. When I disable it then it works. But I need water. How can I solve it?

By any chance did you manage to setup interactivity with the player ? Seems hard to setup since UE5.1.... even the example map inside the plugin doesn't work

Loving the tutorials but i do have a question: when I add my lake, the water floods my plain. I've tried lowering the water plane and raising the landscape but I can't get it just right. Either I have a super deep lake or part of my landscape is majorly flooded. How can I fix this?

in river parameters i dont have the options velocity etc... please help

It would be more complete and constant in steps than seen on the ue 5! just great

Hi. First, thanks for your amazing videos ! Your channel is very helpful !
I am having a problemn with Water System / UE 5.1 (with world partition landscape). I made a river like in your video. It's run ok on editor. But when i pack shipping build, the river doesn't flow in the right direction. I notice that it flow in one direction and if I turn it the other way and generate a new build, it stops flow and stay like a "lake". This only happens in build. In the editor it works correctly. Do you have any idea what it could be?
Sorry my English. It's not my native language...

I have turned on the both the plugins and activate the landscape layers or whatever but when i dropped the lake onto the map it doesnt exist. Why? Because why not..... *sigh

Why does the river not follow the splines? At first, it's working, but if I move or add splines, the whole river flows along the y-axis.

If I add in any water system, it destroys the whole landscape (it's creating deep rectangular wholes and "mountains" everywhere). I do not know why, but it is impossible for me, to do anything with that water system.

hey about your willow trees, where do you get that? is that free asset?

Nice video! I have a problem with the water system. When i try to move my lake around the map , i don t know why but everything gets destroyed and deformed. Can you help me?

I have enabled the water plugin and restarted but can’t find any water even by searching in the actors

my water is being weird, isnt mapping to the landscape, it either overlaps everything or goes under the landscape

How are you able to move your water layer up and down? My water just stays at one location on the height and doesnt move from it at all

it is very strange, that in this system, when rendering Lumen, there are no reflections of surrounding objects and landscape on water.
Reflections only appear when using screen-space reflection

Have you noticed that lakes dont work in UE 5.0.3 ?

THANKS alot for the video. i applied the ocean one. was wonder how to make the water not appear transparent when i get below the surgace

This is rly a good Tutorial. Perfect :D Thumbs UP

I have this problem where my water texture stops before the corner which makes it look odd, is there a way to fix this?

Defiantly deserve more subs than you have, fantastic tutorial :D

But there s way to use water body with hight of landscape.
For it go to Waterbrush and disable "affect highmap" option

seems impossible to use this feature on an open world 8k map

Hi, i watched a lot of tutorials about waves but i didn't find solution for my project.
isn't there any source for a realistic beach side tutorial and realistic waves with foam?
can you suggest me? i really stuck in it.

And if you make a tutorial for this i would be glad to learn from you too. Even if you suggest another source before...

What if I want to add a custom bottom to the lake or river? How do I sculpt that hole and just add the water to it?

How sculpt with the bottom of the lake unreal engine 5?

Amazing. Thank you so much. :)

you are really great at this point which telling your knowledge with true voice tone. this means strong expression, makes me watch whole tutorials without getting bored. (like sensei)
Keep it up bro
