Unreal Engine works magic in Krystian Komisarek's hands.

Krystian Komisarek, the developer of the Fluid Flux water system powered by Unreal Engine, shared a new demonstration of the engine's might. 

The artist showed off smooth realistic waves hugging a glass dome in the middle of the ocean. He used UE's visual scripting to achieve the impressive result as it prevents him from "overengineering things."

• Fluid Flux: A Cool Water Simulation System for Unreal Engine
• Highly-Realistic Coastline Set Up in UE5 With Fluid Flux 2.0
• Real-Time Waterfall Simulation Made With the Fluid Flux Add-on

One of his biggest achievements is Fluid Flux, a system based on 2D shallow-water fluid simulations. It works well with underlying terrain slopes as well as arbitrary water depth and supports wet-dry region tracking.

Here are some of its features:

• Realtime shallow water simulation – fluid data modifiers, wave generator, and extendable interface
• Fluid surface rendering – caustics, wetness, underwater, waterline, advected foam, advected waves, blending with the ocean, dynamic audio detection
• Fluid Interaction – simple cheap ripple solver moving with character, optimized to an absolute minimum
• Ocean wave blending – rendering tillable ocean heightmap texture in a single pass
• Niagara environment interaction – High-quality effects, bouncy, plants, character swimming, boats,
• Clean, efficient, GPU friendly implementation, interface designed with the KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) rule in mind
