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：

During a reading session that included several other sources this one stood out, and a look at buyspotstore continued the standout quality, the side by side comparison of sources during research is a useful exercise and this site has been winning those comparisons for me consistently across multiple research sessions during the last week.
Ребята у кого дача Задолбался я уже забор искать То вообще приезжают и говорят что замер не тот Короче, реальное производство в Москве — купить забор с установкой от производителя И установили всё чисто В общем, жмите чтобы не потерять — стоимость установки забора https://zagorodnii-dom.ru Проверяйте производителя по этому списку Перешлите тому у кого участок
Now leaving a small mental note to recommend this when the topic comes up in conversation, and a look at stashsuperb extended that recommend ready feeling, content that arms me with shareable references for likely future conversations is content with social value and this site is providing that conversational ammunition consistently for me lately.
Владельцы участков отзовитесь Обещают одно а по факту другое То профлист тонкий как бумага Короче, мужики с руками из правильного места — установка заборов в Московской области недорого Сделали за две недели В общем, сохраняйте себе — монтаж забора из профнастила монтаж забора из профнастила Проверяйте производителя по этому списку Перешлите тому у кого участок
Reading this gave me a small framework I expect to use going forward, and a stop at glassmeadowcommercegallery extended that framework, content that produces transferable mental models rather than just specific facts is content with multiplicative value and this site is providing those models at a rate that justifies extra attention from me regularly.
More substantial than most of what I find searching for this topic online, and a stop at sharesignal kept that quality consistent, this is one of those sites where the writing actually rewards careful reading rather than punishing the patient reader with empty filler stretched out across long paragraphs that say very little.

Worth flagging that this approach to the topic is fresh without being contrarian, and a stop at digitaltrendstation extended the same fresh angle, finding original perspective on familiar subjects is rare and this site has clearly developed its own way of seeing rather than echoing the dominant takes from elsewhere consistently.
Just enjoyed the experience without needing to think about why, and a look at huejuly kept that effortless feeling going, sometimes the best content is invisible in the sense that you forget you are reading until you reach the end and realise time has passed without you noticing it pass naturally.

Now planning to write about the topic myself eventually using this post as a reference, and a look at lanternmeadowcommercegallery would also serve in that future piece, content that becomes raw material for my own writing rather than just informing my reading is content with multiplicative value and this site is generating that multiplicative effect.
Thanks for treating the topic with the seriousness it deserves without becoming pompous about it, and a stop at cloverharborcommercegallery continued that balanced treatment, the gap between earnest and self serious is huge and writers who can stay on the right side of it earn my respect when I find them online today.
Skipped lunch to finish reading, which says something, and a stop at dahbrood kept me at my desk longer than planned, when content beats the lunch impulse the writer has done something genuinely impressive in an attention environment full of immediately satisfying alternatives competing for the same finite block of reader time.
Now wishing more sites covered topics with this level of care, and a look at opalrivergoodsgallery extended that wish across more subjects, the rarity of careful coverage on most topics is a problem and this site is one of the small antidotes to that broader pattern of casual or surface treatment of complex subjects.
Took a few notes from this post, the points are easy to remember without needing to come back and check, and a look at sageharborcraftcollective 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.
Now placing this in the small category of sites whose updates I would actually want to know about, and a stop at kudosember confirmed that placement, the difference between sites I want to follow and sites I just consume from is real and this one has crossed into the active follow category from the casual consumption side.
Worth flagging that the post handled an angle of the topic I had not seen elsewhere, and a look at opalrivercraftcollective extended that fresh treatment, content that finds underexplored corners of well covered subjects is genuinely valuable and this site has demonstrated that exploratory editorial approach across multiple pieces in my reading sessions today.
Now adding a small note in my reading log that this site is one to watch, and a look at sorreltavern reinforced the watch status, the few sites I track deliberately rather than encounter accidentally are sites I expect ongoing returns from and this one has cleared the bar for that elevated tracking based on what I read.

Honestly enjoyed reading this more than I expected to when I first clicked through, and a stop at trophysofa kept that pleasant surprise going, sometimes you stumble onto a site that just clicks with how you like to read and this is one of those for me right now today which is great.
Now wishing more sites covered topics with this level of care, and a look at uppersharp extended that wish across more subjects, the rarity of careful coverage on most topics is a problem and this site is one of the small antidotes to that broader pattern of casual or surface treatment of complex subjects.
Stands out for actually being useful instead of just being long, and a look at silvercovecraftcollective kept that going, length without value is the default mode of most blogs these days but this site has clearly chosen a different path which I respect a lot as a reader who values careful editing decisions like that.
Well structured and easy to read, that combination is rarer than people think, and a stop at kettleharborcommercegallery 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.
Came back to this twice now in the same week which is unusual for me, and a look at slackvista suggested I will keep coming back, the kind of post that earns repeated visits rather than one and done reading is the gold standard for content quality and this site clearly hit that standard.
A piece that handled the topic with appropriate weight without becoming portentous, and a look at pearlharborvendorparlor continued that calibrated seriousness, content that takes itself seriously without becoming pompous is something this site has clearly figured out and the balance shows up in every piece I have read across multiple sessions now.

Following the post through to the end without my attention drifting once, and a look at isebrook earned the same uninterrupted attention, content that holds attention without manipulating it is content with substantive pull and this site has demonstrated that substantive pull across multiple pieces in a single reading session reliably here today.
Strong recommendation from me, anyone curious about the topic should make time for this, and a look at heliojuly only sharpens that recommendation further, the kind of resource that holds up against careful scrutiny rather than crumbling at the first critical question is rare and worth pointing other people toward when the topic comes up.

Bookmark added with a small note about why, and a look at huijax prompted another bookmark with another note, the bookmarks I annotate are the ones I expect to return to deliberately rather than stumble into and this site is generating annotated bookmarks at a higher rate than my usual content sources by some margin.

Skipped the related links section thinking I had read enough and then came back to it later when curiosity got the better of me, and a stop at hazelharbormerchantgallery confirmed I should have just read it first, every section of this site appears to deserve careful attention rather than skipping past lazily.

Going to share this with a friend who has been asking the same questions for a while now, and a stop at velourudon added a few more pages I will pass along too, this is the kind of generous information that earns a small thank you from me right now and again later this week.
Now appreciating the small but real way this post improved my afternoon, and a stop at salutesyrup extended that small improvement effect, content that produces measurable positive impact on the texture of a reading day is content with real value and this site is producing those small positive impacts at a sustainable rate apparently.
Honest take is that I will probably forget most of what I read online today but this post is one I will remember, and a stop at buytrailshop kept that same memorable quality going, certain writing leaves a residue in the mind in a way most content simply does not manage.

Reading carefully here has reminded me what reading carefully feels like, and a look at jewbush extended that reminder, the experience of careful reading versus skimming is different in ways I had partially forgotten and this site has clearly refreshed my memory of what attention feels like when content rewards it consistently.
High quality writing, no marketing speak and no buzzwords that mean nothing, and a stop at hullgale kept that going, simple direct content that actually communicates something is harder to find than it should be and this is one of the rare places that gets it right consistently across many different posts.

Found this through a search that was generic enough I did not expect quality results, and a look at wildharborcommercegallery continued the surprisingly good experience, search engines occasionally still surface excellent independent content if you scroll past the obvious paid and high authority results which is reassuring to remember sometimes.
Thanks for the moderate length, neither so short it skips substance nor so long it bloats, and a stop at walnutharborvendorparlor hit the same balance, the right length is one of the hardest things to calibrate in blog writing and I appreciate when a team has clearly thought about it rather than defaulting.
