How to make waterways in Unreal Engine 5

Hi guys, in this video I want to do a depp dive on the implementation in my project of this plugin, that allows you to create rivers and lakes in a few clicks with very high quality. As you can see from these shots.


In the description you can find the link to the marketplace page. I would like to point out that the creators of this tool did not ask me to advertise.
The price is excellent according to what is offered.
Once you are ready to work, simply combine the tool with a previously created project.
This is the newly imported folder containing everything needed for creating rivers, lakes and oceans.

We'll start with the rivers but stay until the end of the video because I'll reveal how I did the lake, created from a custom shape. A job that required hours of try and error.

But before starting, let's look carefully at the following settings under project setting.
first thing: let's look for generate mesh distance fields, turn it on.

And then we search, stencil until we find Stencil pass. enable it.

Now, if you have viewing problems, like the completely black river for example. I had a similar problem taking the project from 5.03 to 5.1, it is very important to go to project setting, looking for velocity Pass. Put the second chioce and not the first selected item.
This will fix the problem.
