Fluid Ninja LIVE

Welcome to FluidNinja LIVE 1.9.54.4: fast, responsive Fluid Simulation for Character and Environment VFX.

Drive dynamic systems with fluidsim: water, clouds, smoke, fire, sand, snow and foliage.

Please note: ninja is not a drag-n-drop tool, learning it takes a week!

Buy only if you are willing to invest time to learning! Start here: All-in-one Tutorial Video

Features

• Robust: capable to track hundreds of objects and bones, including Metahuman skeletons
• Large scale: local fluid solver extended with global pattern generators – to render large fields of sand, water, fog
• Volumetrics: supporting all native UE Volume types: Fog, Clouds and Heterogeneous Volumes
• Simple-mode: track objects and draw trajectories without running fluidsim (eg. footsteps, wheeltracks)
• Scalable: could be optimized for low-end hardware or run a 4k sim container
• Modular: could be added as ActorComponent / could drive other components (niagara, volumes)
• Cinematics: ready for rendering via Movie Render Queue, supports Sequencer
• Niagara: two-way data flow – drive particles using fluidsim / drive fluidsim using particles
• Sim buffers exposed to RenderTargets (density, velocity, pressure)
• Examples included: 20 use case levels and 30 tutorial levels
• Large distances: unreal Large World Coordinates (LWC) are supported
• Important: NINJA IS NOT REPLICATED, MULTIPLAYER IS NOT SUPPORTED
