Water and Swimming System from SCRATCH in UE5 | Landscape Series #8
Hey everyone, in this video I'll show you how to add a complete water system to your game in Unreal Engine 5. We'll use UE5's native tools to create oceans, rivers, and lakes, with water effects integrated into our landscape.
In addition to sculpting the environment, we'll: learn how to configure buoyancy physics for boats, and implement a complete swimming mechanic for the character (using Mixamo animations).
