LogInHirokazu Yokohara has shared the results of a new experiment with Unreal Engine 5's Chaos Flesh system.
3D Artist and Generalist Hirokazu Yokohara, widely known for creating astonishing simulations and visual effects using various software, has recently delved into the capabilities of Unreal Engine 5's Chaos Flesh system, demonstrating an impressive simulation accomplished with it.
For those unaware, UE5's Chaos Flesh provides a real-time, high-quality simulation of deformable soft bodies directly within the software. The toolset supports the simulation of both Static and Skeletal Meshes, offering a wide range of parameters that give artists exceptional control over the final result.
In their latest experiment, Hirokazu utilized Chaos Flesh to create a great soft-body simulation, marking the first time the artist employed the system in question for such a task. "Looks like it's being developed with the aim of being able to use it for muscle simulation in the future, so I'm looking forward to it," commented the creator.
Previously, the artist also demonstrated a stunning 2D-looking 3D animation inspired by 90s anime aesthetics, a real-time fur simulation made in UE5, a cool deepfake face made with Maya and DeepFace Live, a beautiful real-time red and blue fire and smoke FX, a delicious-looking cold rice sim, and a couple of neat smoke FX made in UE5 and Niagara.
Hirokazu also showed how to simulate clothes in Blender with mocap data, how to set up a realistic face with Maya and Ziva Face Trainer, and how to utilize Apple's RoomPlan for 3D environment modeling, experimented with soft body simulations in Cinema 4D, and turned a 2D image into a 3D mesh with Blender. You can check out all of these projects and more by visiting Hirokazu's Twitter page.
Earlier, Game Developer and Technical Artist Ev Schwab also experimented with Chaos Flesh, using it to recreate the meat cube from the 2008 UE3 tech demo in Unreal Engine 5:
