Visual Artist and Developer Andras Ketzer released FluidNinja LIVE 1.8.5.5, a small update to the creator's fast and responsive fluid simulation tool for character and environment VFX, focusing primarily on one-sim-driven environments and ground-surface alignment.
According to the announcement, the enhanced version of the plug-in brings a new material output slot, allowing for a single simulation to drive surfaces, particles, and volumes, adds a new FloorSnapper feature that can dynamically align moving sim containers, particle systems, and volumes with slopes, and includes tons of optimizations to the Unreal Engine 5 version of the tool.
Alongside the release, the developer also shared a comprehensive tutorial explaining 1.8.5.5's novelties in detail and showing how they can be used to drive your UE-powered simulations to the next level:
