Welcome to NinjaLive 1.3: real-time 2D fluid simulation for PC and Mobile app developers, inside Unreal.

For baking fluid simulation, see: FluidNinja VFX Tools

Key features

• Ready for Cinematic Rendering via UE 4.26 MovieRenderQueue
• Ready to drive Volumetric Clouds, Fog and Niagara Systems
• Autonomous: following a three step setup, responsive fluid simulation Actors could be placed on level
• Embeddable: fluid sim Actor Component could be added to user defined classes, pawns, vehicles
• Scalable: could be optimized for average mobile devices - or run a 4k simulation container
• Simulation buffers (density, velocity, pressure) exposed as RenderTargets

Input

• Static and Dynamic mesh position, size and velocity
• Skeletal Mesh Bone & Socket position, size and velocity
• Texture and Material based density, velocity
• SceneCaptureCamera and Streaming video based density
• User gestures via mouse and touchscreen

.

Technical Details

• Sim variables accessible by Blueprints and Sequencer
• Preset based simulation management
• User editable sim-output Materials
• Sim velocity driven Detail Maps
• LOD, Proximity based Sleep/Wake, Memory Pooling
• 29 demo levels providing usage examples
• Manual, Tutorial videos and annotated blueprints
• Tested under UE5 EarlyAccess1

Level & game design

• Live is supporting a design approach with multiple, local fluidsim containers for character and area effects
• Live is not a robust "whole world system" - it is designed for a multitude of dispersed, local interactions

Implementation

• NinjaLive is a compact Unreal Project - its feature set could be utilized in games by merging
• It is based on standard Unreal assets (Blueprints, Materials)
• Live does not rely on Niagara - but could be used to drive Niagara
• Does not contain C++ code, pre-compiled elements, or third party content
• Cooking, compiling and packaging is tested for Windows PC, Apple, iOS and Android Mobile
