Unreal Engine Asset – FluidNinja VFX Tools v4.24

Bake real-time fluid simulation to flipbooks, flowmaps, materials and vector fields. Create presets. Generate fire, smoke, and fluids for character and environment effects. All inside Unreal Editor.

FluidNinja is a VFX toolkit for Unreal Editor, capable of baking real-time fluid simulation to Flipbooks, Flowmaps,

Materials and Vector fields. Ninja is designed to keep the whole process of VFX creation inside Unreal.


A set of tools integrated on a single UI, supporting quick iteration, rapid prototyping and encouraging users

to build their own library of VFX assets. In the core, there is a material based implementation of the Navier-Stokes

fluid model. The UI is providing interactive controls and a set real-time view ports displaying input and output data.

Control parameters could be saved as a preset. Ninja is a Blueprints + Materials project, relying on Editor Scripting

features.


Input

Cascade particles, bitmaps and a dynamic painter are providing the initial conditions for the simulation
