LogInA new outstanding sim from Jesse Pitela.
Jesse Pitela, a VFX Artist and Founder/Instructor at RedefineFX, whose incredible crumbling wall simulation we featured a couple of weeks ago, continues to experiment with the Chaos + Niagara Fluids combo, unveiling one more incredible UE5-powered sim.
Chaos, on the other hand, is Unreal Engine's robust physics and destruction system. With Chaos Destruction, users can achieve high-performance visuals in real-time, particularly in scenes involving extensive destruction.
Using the former to simulate a cloud of dust and the latter to arrange the breaking rocks, Jesse has set up an impressively lifelike real-time rockfall simulation in Unreal Engine 5.3, the latest stable version of Epic Games' flagship game engine.
If you would like to learn more about creating real-time VFX in Unreal Engine, we highly recommend checking out Jesse's free tutorial on setting up volumetric smoke and fire simulations in the engine. This beginner-friendly tutorial includes four complete FX setups and 12 videos outlining the following topics:
