Curious what stands out most in the clip: does the water already read naturally, or is there something breaking the illusion right away?

[Michael Simard @CalystoWorld]

Working on Calysto Water Engine 🌊

The goal is to get closer to that simulation-like river look, but built for open-world production: PCG-driven, terrain-aware, and optimized instead of relying on heavy runtime simulation.

Ever noticed how Subnautica 2 has almost no seams? In the sand, on the rocks, in the cave walls. None!

Check it out next time you are swimming around! 👀

Being able to say I had something to do with this game has been such an honor!

Good job for your new release!

MeshBlend 3.0 is out! 🥳
This has been an ongoing project for a while but it is finally ready! The update brings improved blend quality AND improved performance!

This is looking good! Maybe its time I get my hands on this too 👀

Landscapes with overhang. What is this magic? 👀

Mesh Terrain in UE 5.8 is shaping up nicely!
Really like that I can have sculpt layers that I can then move, rotate and resize.

🖼️✨ Made a small world-map mockup tonight, and it instantly reminded me of that dreamy, melancholic feeling I had exploring the map in Clair Obscur. 🌙🗺️

Trying to recapture that vibe in my own work.

I'm a huge fan of TerrariTrying something different today — a Terraria-style world made entirely with Unreal PCG 👀
Everything you see is generated on the fly. Super fun experiment so far!

Nvidia Nsight Graphics is such a powerful tool!🤩

Being able to see exactly what parts contribute to what part of the frametime is such a lifesaver.

Today I did a pass on the low quality setting to see if I could push it even lower. Looks like I can!🚀

Here is a quick video to showcase how I made this scene with Calysto Smart Scatter!

By the way most of my tools are 50% off on FAB!

Can't believe it's almost 3 months since launch! Around this time last year, the pieces was finally starting to come together. What a journey it's been!🙌

Pst: MeshBlend and MeshPack just dropped on the @Fab October Flash Sale!✨

@MiltonCandelero This was really cool to play with! 🤩

Made a quick little "see behind the effect" thingy.

[William Faucher @WillFaucherVFX]

EasyToolbag is here!
A built-in menu for #UE5 that simplifies a lot of the repetitive tasks. No more 5-step process to change screen percentage, changing post process volume settings every time. You can even switch to the old 5.5 viewport UI if you liked that better.

@Morphteksystems Aah yes thanks for the clarification!

In my case I do everything using line traces.
