Check Out These Lifelike Plants with Subtle Physics Created with UE5

A Reddit user Eugenia, also known as Sunday Eggs, showcased the experiment with interactive foliage runtime in Unreal Engine 5, presenting a peaceful and relaxing demo.

In the clip, the artist places lifelike plants throughout the scene, and as they move, their leaves shake and flutter naturally, like in real footage, creating a visually appealing image.

Eugenia shared some technical details of creating such a subtle and mild visualization of plants' physics. Every plant was rigged in Blender, followed by an extensive setup of the assets in Unreal Engine. Once the plant is placed, it enters a sleep state with a disabled physics simulation, and when disturbed again, it "wakes up."

The creator also showcased a game prototype of the UE5-powered relaxing plans-themed game:
