Re: Vegetation/foilage animation in UE4- Simple Grass wind??
Can't find the weight slot though. Or did they change it? I am wondering if the vertex color information speedtree uses is grayscale or particular colors it identifies for leaves, branches etc. Yeah, alembic would be taking things too far especially since getting good fps is important. What would be the best way to export… -
Re: Vegetation/foilage animation in UE4- Simple Grass wind??
@Hellfire thanks for the link, mate. Will try it out. @Obscura Speed tree node can work with custom trees?? Would that be with only vertex color maps painted to determine movements because there isn't any slot to plug in textures. I am thinking of simulating it manually and exporting to ue4 with fbx format. Not sure if ue4… -
Vegetation/foilage animation in UE4- Simple Grass wind??
I am wondering if there is a better way than using simple grass wind. Anyway to simulate better movements in ue4? I am pondering animating this in blender using shape keys or something. I really don't like the movements the simple grass wind provides (too robotic and doesn't move realistically). I noticed there is a… -
Re: Vegetation/foilage animation in UE4- Simple Grass wind??
Are you trying to animate a tree, or any foliage, in general? Also, have you tried "simple grass wind"? That sounds very straight forward on cards. -
Re: Vegetation/foilage animation in UE4- Simple Grass wind??
I don't like the movement of the simple grass wind node. Even with the grayscale weight. Doesn't look realistic. That's why I am considering the vertex import animation into ue4. -
Re: Vegetation/foilage animation in UE4- Simple Grass wind??
I really don't think you should use alembic for this. It would be crazy... About the speedtree node, I think it has a weight slot. Thats where you could plug your weight that could be a texture or vertex colors, or something generated. -
Re: Vegetation/foilage animation in UE4- Simple Grass wind??
This is how my foilage moves exactly like with simple grass wind, the movement pattern here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9r1uwllImE8 Maybe I need more practice with it. @Obscura Trying the simple grass wind again. This is what I am getting after painting vertex colors. For some reason, all the leaves are moving at the… -

I use a variate from my old wind shader mat, maybe is helpful. https://forums.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?3268-Nature-Environment-in-UE4&p=65111&viewfull=1#post65111 -
Re: Vegetation/foilage animation in UE4- Simple Grass wind??
The speedtree wind should work with static meshes too, You can use vertex color, Z axis of the bounds, or a texture, as a movement weight (so the bottom won't move). This is similar to when you would weight a skeletal mesh, but in this case you'd tell it where it can move, and where it can't. From here, you can use time…
