本次工程效果:
为了实现海浪拍到岩石上激起千层浪的感觉,我们可以看到有几个表现上的关键点
- 在岩石附近生成水花
- 水花激起的时机和位置与海水的流动匹配
- 出射速度受到海水运动和石头表面的撞击情况影响
- 激起后水花的体积感
海面的模拟 – Gerstner Waves
游戏里模拟海水的途径是一门艰深的课题,本文就不多涉及了。这里为了制作需要,介绍一下相对直观实用的Gerstner Waves。
在流体动力学中,Gerstner Waves是周期表面重力波的欧拉方程方程的精确解。它计算机图形技术之前很久就出现了,用来描述不可压缩流体的表面波动。
单一Gerstner Wave材质应用在一个平面上的效果如图:
数学时间
我们可以看到每一个点不止有Z轴方向的运动,也有XY轴的运动。并且这不是一个简单的sin波而是带有‘浪尖’的波形,这些都是Gerstner Wave的重要特征。
因为篇幅原因这里就不具体说公式了,本节末尾提供了我做好的材质节点可以直接下载取用。详细算法可以参考:
Chapter 1. Effective Water Simulation from Physical Models
https://developer.download.nvidia.com/books/HTML/gpugems/gpugems_ch01.html
简单说来,定义一个波形的属性有:
[高度, 前进方向, 波长, 陡峭度]
我们定义相位φ
φ = 方向 ⋅ 位置 / 波长 + 频率 * 时间
其中
频率 = sqrt(重力 * 2π / 波长)
那么以
z轴偏移 = 高度 * sin(φ)
xy轴偏移 = 陡峭度 * 高度 * 方向 * cos(φ)
的形式去移动海面的顶点,顶点会沿着椭圆绕圈(左图),一系列的顶点组合在一起就会形成具有浪尖的波形。
引擎内实现
在引擎里的实现可以用HLSL写在Custom节点里,你也可以选择用节点连。执行效率上,节点连出来的公式和HLSL代码没有区别。
材质函数 MF_GerstnerWave
核心部分:
float3 d = float3(sin(DirectionInDegrees * 0.0174533), cos(DirectionInDegrees * 0.0174533), 0); // 为了控制方便,输入并不是一个向量而是角度,这里转换一下
float w = 6.2831854 / L;
float theta = sqrt(6.2831854 * Gravity / L); // 由波长算出频率
float q = Stiffness / (Amplitude * w); // q是控制浪尖陡峭度的系数
float phase = dot((w * d).xy, WorldPosition.xy) – theta * Time; // 喂给cos和sin的相位
float3 offset = float3(q * Amplitude * d.xy * cos(phase), Amplitude * sin(phase)); // 照抄上面公式
这部分我放在了BlueprintUE.com里,点下面链接直接把节点复制粘贴到UE材质编辑器里就可以得到图上的节点:
https://blueprintue.com/blueprint/tt5p124n/
波形叠加
显然,一条波并不能说非常炫酷,Gerstner Wave的典型做法是把多条波叠加在一起。上面提到每条波可以控制的变量有:[高度, 前进方向, 波长, 陡峭度]
要合并多个波形,首先考虑的是波长,因为能组合的波长数量有限(8个已经很多了),我们无法完全参照真实世界的海洋数据,只能尽可能利用能付出的资源。由于波长相似的wave在叠加时看起来更有错综复杂的动态表现,我们可以在输入参数里首先给一个波长的中值LengthMedian,然后让不同wave的波长围绕这个中值变化。这样只要保留所有wave的波长与LenghMedian的比例,就可以通过改变LengthMedian来调整整个海洋的波浪大小:
在定义一组waves的结构FGerstnerWavesParameters中,美术可以在海洋的蓝图Actor上直接填写LengthMedian。
接下来,美术可以手动填写各个wave和LengthMedian的比例,也可以像我一样偷懒,填一个LengthMultiplierRange然后随机选取范围内的比例,在场景里拖动Seed直到随出一个好看的组合。
类似的方法同样适用于高度, 前进方向, 陡峭度。要注意的是,wave的高度和波长存在正相关关系,简单的做法是定义一个常数比例,让每个wave高度和和波长的比例保持一致。而在定义前进方向时会类似的给出一个DirectionRange定义前进方向的范围。
Niagara GPU粒子的生成
匹配水面位移
上面说了这么多,海面Shader内的位移数据其实并不能被外界直接读取,为了让Niagara能获取到海面的位移数据从而实现位置的同步,我们需要额外做一些工作:
方块:Niagara GPU particles
因为Gerstner Wave算法是确定性的,即给定同样的 [ 高度 | 前进方向 | 波长 | 陡峭度 ] 这样一组参数,不管在哪算出来的波形都是一样一样的。所以我们只要把与海面同样的参数传入Niagara System,就可以让Niagara粒子去‘追踪‘海面的粒子。(如上图)
传参
Normal难度:
上面说到,海面的波形是由好几个不同的Gerstner Wave组成,这里我用了8个,那么需要匹配海面的形状,其实在生成浪花时我们不用考虑所有8个waves,只考虑最大的一或两级wave,视觉上就很难看出不完全吻合的细节差别了。
Hard难度:
这一块可选阅读,可以跳过,对下面内容的理解没有影响。
可是如果我觉得这样做身体不适,非想传所有数据达到完美同步呢? 也不是没有办法。4个参数 x 8组 = 一共32个float变量,手动命名并且在蓝图里拉面条,再在Niagara模块上一个一个拖上去也不是不行.. 如果你想做得灵巧些,我发掘了一个输入数组的hack:
因为Niagara还在beta阶段,一些功能还在持续改进中,这个hack可能以后也不需要。我介绍一下的另一个原因是觉得对增加对Niagara的理解有所帮助。
开始我想把数据通过DrawToRenderTarget写到一张贴图上,让Niagara读,但因为操作太不友好并且不支持CPU粒子放弃了。后来发现Niagara里的Curve型变量是同时支持CPU和GPU的,读取也很方便。我在蓝图里把需要的变量写入到一个Curve asset里,Niagara内reimport更新就可以,很方便。
不过Curve key的格式是有讲究的,Niagara CPU sim在读curve时,直接就读对应位置的key value。但GPU sim上会首先把curve编码成一个1×128像素的Lookup table,然后再读对应位置的数据,这就导致如果key的time位置不是100%对到LUT的像素位置上,encode后会出现偏差,这个偏差在我们现在的应用中是无法容许的。
好在encode的逻辑非常直接,只是取第一个key和最后一个key的time看范围,normalize到[0.0, 1.0]之间:
所以要达到key和LUT的像素对齐,最简单的方式是让time = [0, 1, 2… 127],这样不需要额外操作,在GPU sim上读取即可。
最后一个key的time是127.0
这样我们就实现了可以在一个curve里记录128个float值。剩下要做的就是再BP里根据一定规则把8个wave的一系列参数编码,再从Niagara模块里通过相同规则解码。这里4个参数*8个wave,规则就是很简单的按照一定间隔记录了32个值。
按照一定间隔,在整数Time上记录了每一组parameters
在Niagara module中通过类似方式解压
定义GPU粒子的碰撞行为
Distance Field Collision
系统提供的collision模块非常健全,包括CPU trace碰撞,GPU depth / distance field碰撞等分支可以在下拉菜单中选择使用。我们这里使用GPU distance field碰撞,depth碰撞比较适合比较粗犷的效果,比如下雨下雪,稍微有点问题也看不出来,但如果水浪使用depth碰撞,岩石背面屏幕看不到的地方就会出错。
我们想有一些比较细腻的控制逻辑,比如这里水花撞到石头上,如果用默认的collision碰撞,反弹是朝着下图绿色的反射向量方向飞出去的,而流体撞到刚体的行为并不是这样完美的反弹,我们更想让它偏向下图紫色的角度。
下面三个gif分别展示不同反射角度的视觉:
定义这样的碰撞行为需要自己写模块,幸运的是这种逻辑都可以用Niagara的节点实现。引擎提供的Collision模块本身是一个宝藏,里面有各种碰撞的实现方式和模块编辑的best practice。在Collision – CollisionQueryAndResponse模块中我们探索一下可以发现:
点进去最底层的模块是:
即给出world position获得global distance field的数值和gradient,和材质里的DistanceToNearestSurface / DistanceFieldGradient结果是一样的,都是GPU内的query。
知道了这些,我们就可以很方便的自己写一个简单的collision判断:
并且在后面接上上面说到的反射角和切线角的逻辑–如果发现水浪粒子进行了第一次和岩石碰撞,那么就沿着我们想要的角度给一个初速度:
距离优化
同时因为有了distance field信息,可以在particle spawn时判断水浪粒子是否在岩石附近,如果不在就直接删除。
Smear
水花的材质想做好也是一项涉及很广的任务,我这里就是用了一个比较简单的云的贴图,稍微加工了下。值得一提的是通过particle的速度可以在材质里实现速度拉伸效果,对表达浪花飞溅的夸张形态非常有帮助:
实现方式也很简单,因为粒子sprite是朝向camera的,我们只要以local position和移动速度的点积缩放sprite即可:
A piece that read as if the writer was thinking carefully rather than just typing fluently, and a look at cabinbrick continued that considered quality, the difference between fluent typing and careful thinking shows up in writing and this site reads as the product of thought rather than just the product of language fluency apparently.
A memorable post for me on a topic I had thought I was tired of, and a look at momentumstructure suggested the same site can refresh other tired topics, sites that can revive my interest in subjects I had written off as exhausted are doing rare work and this one is clearly doing that for me today.
Reading this prompted me to dig into a related topic later, and a stop at zenvani provided some of the starting points for that follow up reading, content that triggers further exploration rather than satisfying curiosity completely is content with real generative energy and this site has plenty of that energy throughout it.
Came away feeling slightly smarter than I was when I started, that is a real win, and a stop at focusdrivenprogression added a bit more to that, the rare site that actually transfers some of its knowledge to the reader in a way that sticks rather than just creating an illusion of learning briefly.
Здорова, народ Брат снова сорвался Соседи стучат В больницу тащить страшно Короче, только стационар реально спас — лечение запоя в стационаре полный курс Врачи наблюдали 24/7 В общем, жмите чтобы сохранить — вывод из запоя в стационаре клиника вывод из запоя в стационаре клиника Звоните прямо сейчас Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации
Worth flagging this post as worth a careful read rather than a casual skim, and a stop at civicbrisk earned the same careful approach, the few sites that warrant slower reading are sites I now treat differently from the daily content stream and this one has clearly moved into that elevated treatment category.
Honest reaction is that I want to send this to a friend who would benefit from it, and a look at momentumchanneling added more material I will pass along too, the impulse to share is the strongest signal I have for content quality and this site is generating that impulse cleanly across multiple posts.

Picked this for my morning read because the topic seemed worth the time, and a look at lilacneedle confirmed the choice was right, my morning reading slot is precious and giving it to this site felt like a good investment rather than a waste which is a higher endorsement than I usually offer for content.
Comfortable in tone and substantive in content, that is a hard combination to land, and a look at moundlong kept that pairing alive across more material, this is what good editorial direction looks like in practice and the team here clearly has someone keeping a steady hand on the wheel across what they decide to publish.
Столкнулся с вопросом выбора краски для стен: на первый взгляд всё просто — подобрать цвет и нужный объём, но на практике важны укрывистость, стойкость к мытью, тип поверхности, расход, запах, время высыхания и то, как покрытие поведёт себя через несколько месяцев, иначе можно получить пятна, разводы, быстрое истирание или совсем не тот оттенок после нанесения. На что вы в первую очередь обращаете внимание при выборе краски для стен? А как выбиралась вами краска для стен dulux
Refreshing to read something where the words actually mean something instead of filling space, and a stop at progressblueprint kept that going, the writing here trusts the reader to follow along without endless repetition or constant reminders of what was already said earlier in the post which I appreciate.
Now feeling that this site is the kind I want to make sure does not disappear, and a look at boundcling reinforced that quiet protective feeling, the rare sites whose disappearance would actually matter to me are the sites I want to support through return visits and recommendations and this one has joined that small protected list.
A genuinely unexpected highlight of my reading week, and a look at moddeck extended that pattern, the surprise of finding excellent content rather than the predictable mediocre is one of the few real pleasures of casual web browsing and this site delivered that surprise cleanly today which I really do appreciate.
Worth flagging this site to a few specific friends who would appreciate the editorial sensibility, and a look at jadyam added more pages I will mention to them, recommending sites to specific people requires understanding both the site and the person and this site is making those personalised recommendations easy and natural for me.
Closed the tab feeling I had spent the time well, and a stop at strategycreatesflow extended that feeling across more pages, the test of whether time on a site was well spent is one I apply silently after closing tabs and very few sites pass it but this one passed it cleanly today afternoon clearly.
Found this through a friend who recommended it and now I see why, and a look at growthpath only strengthened that recommendation in my own mind, word of mouth still works for content that actually delivers and this site is clearly earning recommendations the old fashioned way through quality rather than marketing.
Took a few notes from this post, the points are easy to remember without needing to come back and check, and a look at growthmovement added a couple more, the kind of place that sticks in the memory long after the browser tab has been closed for the day which says a lot really.

Quietly enjoying that I have found a new site to follow for the topic, and a look at ideaclarity reinforced the small pleasure of the find, the discovery of new high quality sources is one of the more durable pleasures of careful internet reading and this site has been generating that discovery pleasure at multiple points already today.
Appreciate the practical examples, they made the abstract points easier to grasp, and a stop at pianoledge added more of the same, this site clearly understands that real examples beat empty theory every single time which is the mark of a writer who knows their audience well and respects their time.
Столкнулся с вопросом оформления сертификата ТР ТС 004/2011 для низковольтного оборудования: на словах процедура кажется стандартной, но на практике много нюансов — нужно правильно определить код ТН ВЭД, схему подтверждения соответствия, состав документов, необходимость испытаний и срок действия сертификата, иначе можно получить отказ, задержку поставки или проблемы при продаже товара. На что вы в первую очередь обращаете внимание при оформлении сертификата ТР ТС 004/2011? Подскажите где сертификат тр тс 004
Reading this confirmed that my time researching the topic in other places had not been wasted, and a stop at idearouting extended the confirmation, when independent sources agree that is a useful signal and this site is one of the more reliable sources I have found for cross checking what I read elsewhere on similar subjects.

Refreshing change from the usual sites covering this topic, no clickbait and no padding, and a stop at crustcleve confirmed the difference, this place clearly has its own voice rather than copying the formulas everyone else uses to chase clicks online which is becoming increasingly rare these days across nearly every popular subject.
Now feeling the post has earned a proper recommendation rather than a casual mention, and a stop at chordbase reinforced the recommendation strength, the difference between mentioning and recommending is a small editorial distinction I observe in my own conversations and this site has earned the upgraded recommendation level from me confidently today.
Now appreciating that the post did not require me to agree with the writer to find it valuable, and a look at bauxauras maintained the same useful regardless of agreement quality, content that informs even when it does not convince is content with broader utility and this site reads as useful even when I disagree.
Started imagining how I would explain the topic to someone else after reading, and a look at actionconstructor gave me more material for that imagined explanation, content that improves my own ability to discuss a topic is content that has actually transferred knowledge rather than just decorating my screen for a few minutes.
Bookmark earned and the bookmark feels like a permanent addition rather than a maybe, and a look at bitvent confirmed that permanent status, the difference between durable bookmarks and ephemeral ones is something I have learned to feel quickly and this site triggered the durable feeling almost immediately during my first read here.
Will be back, that is the simplest way to say it, and a quick visit to navmixo reinforced the decision, this site has earned a spot in my regular rotation alongside a few other reliable places I check when I want something genuinely informative without all the usual modern web noise getting in the way.
Decided to subscribe to the RSS feed if there is one, and a stop at executionlane confirmed that decision, content that I want delivered to me proactively rather than just remembered when I have time is content that has earned a higher level of commitment from me as a reader looking for reliable sources.

Now noticing that the post avoided the temptation to be funny in places where humour would have undermined the substance, and a stop at businessconnectionhub maintained the same restraint, knowing when to be serious is a rare editorial virtue and this site has clearly developed it through what I assume is careful editorial practice over years.
Good clean post, no errors and no awkward phrasing that breaks the reading flow, and a stop at muscatlumen kept the same standard, definitely the kind of editorial care that earns a return visit because it tells me the writer is paying attention to details that matter to readers rather than just rushing publication.
Recommend this to anyone who values clear thinking over flashy presentation, and a stop at nervemuscat continued in the same understated way, this site has its priorities in the right place which makes it worth supporting through repeat visits and recommendations rather than just one passing read today before moving on quickly elsewhere.
Picked this up between two other things I was doing and got drawn in completely, and after zenvaxo my original tasks were completely forgotten for a while, content that derails a workflow in a positive way by being more interesting than what you were already doing is rare and worth recognising clearly.
Speaking as someone who used to recommend blogs frequently and got out of the habit this site is rekindling that impulse, and a look at claritysequence extended the rekindling, the recovery of an old habit triggered by encountering work that justifies it is itself a small kind of pleasure and this site is providing that recovery experience.
Really like the way the post resists reaching for cliches that would have made it feel generic, and a quick visit to momentumplanning kept that fresh feel going, original phrasing and unexpected metaphors are signs that the writer is actually thinking rather than just stitching together familiar phrases into the appearance of content.
Felt the post had been written without using a single buzzword, and a look at molzino continued that clean vocabulary, content free of jargon and trendy phrases reads better and ages better and this site has clearly committed to a vocabulary that will not feel dated in three years which is impressive editorially.
лента 27КХ лента 27КХ
Definitely a recommend from me, anyone curious about the topic should check this out, and a look at clarityinitiator adds even more reason for that, the depth and quality combine to make this site one I will be pointing people toward whenever similar conversations come up over the months ahead at work or socially.

Well structured and easy to read, that combination is rarer than people think, and a stop at novelnoon confirmed the same standard runs across the rest of the site, definitely the kind of place I will be coming back to when this topic comes up in conversation later again over the weeks ahead.
Now noticing the post fit a particular gap in my reading without my having articulated the gap before, and a look at growthrequiresfocus extended that gap filling effect, content that meets needs I had not consciously formulated is content with reader insight and this site has clearly developed that anticipatory editorial sense across many pieces.
Bookmarking this for later, the kind of resource I want to keep nearby, and a quick look at forwardintentions confirmed the rest of the site is worth the same treatment, definitely going into my reference folder for the next time the topic comes up at work or in conversation with someone who asks.
