Quick #Niagara fluid sim thingy. Based on Virtual Method's Unity example. Simulation part can use some improvements :p (flowing too smoothly atm) #UE5

@virtual_method Neat! Turns out I fell into a similar rabbit hole. Trying to think of ways to generate the adjacency map in Niagara atm 🤔

@virtual_method Looking forward to seeing your results :) I just made a small ImGui tool to bake it offline. Should be possible using Niagara but I just took the easier route :p

Looking good! which kind of simulation method are you using? is it purely cell-based or a particle-cell method? (flip, mpm)

It's a direct port of the "Reintegration Tracking" fluid setup shared by @Michael_Moroz_ I am handling UV remapping in the reintegration stage, wasn't able to get the "Sim->Remap" setup work for me :p (so it might not be very accurate)

@virtual_method Awesome! Would love to see more of your breakdown/method.

@virtual_method My idea: 1. Raycast UV →query mesh barycentric coords. 2. Spawn particles. 3. Tick: first query depth map. 4. query mesh neighbor tris for movement. Likely heavy overdraw cost. Rasterize particles as spheres via raster grid? Maybe particle strips are optimal.

@virtual_method I used something like that for this effect Unfortunately that can't simulate particle interactions quite well (plus simulating in worldspace). This one is mostly based on

HoYoverse (the devs behind Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail and Zenless Zone Zero) are working on several very large Gacha games. Some open-world, some action combat, some turn-based, some aren't even confirmed to have Gacha in them. Let's break it down: ⚠️1. Petit Planet (Cozy Life Sim)⚠️ Relaxed, cozy cosmic life sim - honestly, pretty much a spin on Animal Crossing. ⚠️2. Varsapura (Open-World Action)⚠️ Open-world action RPG set in a supernatural, modern-ish metropolis infused with strange/paranormal elements. It has a darker, more grounded and stylish atmosphere compared to Genshin or Star Rail. ⚠️3. Honkai: Nexus Anima (Creature Collection Strategy)⚠️ Creature-collecting adventure strategy game (heavily compared to Pokémon-style mechanics) with auto-chess elements. ⚠️4. Photorealistic Fantasy Research Project (UE5)⚠️ Epic high-fantasy open-world game with realistic visuals (darker, more grounded tone than Genshin). Key features from job posts: massive boss battles, dynamic open world, co-op multiplayer, PvP, intelligent NPCs, ecological AI simulation, full-terrain combat. ⚠️5. Ghibli-style Sandbox Game (UE5)⚠️ Sandbox game heavily inspired by Studio Ghibli’s art style. Recruitment opened around October 2025. They’re specifically looking for people with dress-up game experience. Very early stage. ⚠️6. Western Cartoon-style Hero Shooter (Unity)⚠️ Multiplayer hero shooter in western cartoon/near-future fantasy style. PVE + PVP. Some people compare it to Splatoon vibes (unconfirmed). Early job-posting stage. ⚠️7. Social Sim (Unity)⚠️ City life / making friends / multiculturalism focused. Early stage. ⚠️8. Realistic Shooter (UE5)⚠️ Modern or near-modern city setting with PVP elements. Another recent job posting (December 2025). What are YOU most excited for?!
