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:

Felt the writer was speaking my language without trying to imitate it, and a look at swamptweed continued that natural fit, when a writers default voice happens to match what you find easy to read the experience feels frictionless and that is something I notice and remember about specific sites going forward.
Found the writing surprisingly fresh for what is by now a well covered topic, and a stop at everydaycartstore kept that freshness going across the related pages, original perspective on familiar ground is hard to come by and this site has clearly earned its place in the conversation rather than just rehashing old ideas.

Compared to the usual results for this kind of search this site stands well above the average, and a quick visit to directshoppinghub kept the standard high, you can tell within seconds whether a site is going to waste your time or actually deliver and this one clearly delivers without any false starts.
Now adding the homepage to my regular check rotation rather than waiting for individual links to find me, and a stop at scopevoice confirmed the rotation upgrade, the move from passive discovery to active checking is a vote of confidence in a sites ongoing quality and this site has earned that active engagement clearly.
Just want to say thank you for putting this together, posts like these make searching online actually worth it sometimes, and a quick look at itobout kept that going, useful and easy to read without any of the tricks that ruin most blog comment sections lately on the wider open web.
Нужно оформить сертификат соответствия ТР ТС 010/2011 на оборудование, но столкнулся с тем, что у разных органов по сертификации отличаются сроки, стоимость, список документов и требования к испытаниям. Плюс не всегда понятно, где реально проводят процедуру по правилам, а где просто обещают быстро выдать бумагу без нормальной проверки, что потом может создать проблемы при поставке или продаже оборудования. Кто уже оформлял сертификат по ТР ТС 010/2011 — на что обратить внимание при выборе сертификационного центра? Подскажите где сертификат соответствия тр тс 010 2011
I really like the calm tone here, it does not push anything on the reader, and after I went through humivy I felt the same way, just steady useful content laid out without drama, which is exactly what someone trying to learn something quickly needs to find rather than aggressive marketing.

Ended up here on a wandering afternoon and was glad I stayed for the read, and a stop at oliveorchardartisanexchange extended the wandering into a proper exploration of the site, the kind of place that rewards aimless clicking with something genuinely interesting rather than the shallow content that mostly populates the modern open web.

Reading this slowly to absorb the structure, and the structure is doing real work alongside the words, and a look at honeycovevendorgallery maintained the same architectural quality, when sentence shapes and paragraph rhythms reinforce the meaning rather than just transporting words you know you are reading skilled work today.
A well calibrated piece that knew its scope and stayed inside it, and a look at tracesinger maintained the same scope discipline, scope creep is one of the failure modes of long blog posts and this site has clearly invested in the editorial discipline to prevent it which shows up in tightly contained pieces.
Honestly enjoyed every minute spent here, that is not something I say lightly, and a look at jamcall confirmed I will be back, the bar for spending time online is high for me these days but this site clears it without effort which is high praise indeed from this reader who is usually rather demanding.
Felt the writer did the homework before publishing, the references hold up, and a look at corlex continued that documented care, content with traceable claims rather than vague assertions is the kind I trust and the lack of bald assertion in this post is one of its quietly impressive qualities for me.

A piece that read smoothly because the writer understood how readers actually move through prose, and a look at tritonstyle maintained the same reader awareness, writers who think about the reading experience as much as the writing experience produce better work and this site has clearly made that shift in editorial approach.

Now recognising the editorial wisdom of letting some questions remain open at the end, and a look at jewelcovecommercegallery continued that intellectual honesty, content that does not force closure on contested questions is content that respects the limits of knowledge and this site has clearly developed the maturity to know when to leave space.
A welcome contrast to the loud takes that have dominated my feed lately, and a look at coppercoveartisanexchange extended that calm voice, content that arrives without yelling has become unusual in the modern attention economy and this site is one of the few places I have found that consistently delivers without raising its voice.

If patience for careful reading is rare these days finding sites that reward it is rarer still, and a stop at floracovecommerceatelier extended that rare reward, the diminishing returns on shallow content reading have made me more selective about where to spend reading time and this site is meeting the higher selectivity bar consistently.

Looking at the surface design and the substance together this site has both right, and a look at dawnmeadowcommercegallery reinforced that integrated quality, sites where presentation and content reinforce each other rather than fighting are sites with full editorial coherence and this one has clearly invested in both layers in a balanced way.
Definitely a recommend from me, anyone curious about the topic should check this out, and a look at mooncovemerchantgallery 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.
Reading this with a fresh mind in the morning brought out details I might have missed in the afternoon, and a stop at tritonsloop earned the same fresh attention, content that rewards being read at full attention rather than at energy lows is content with real density and this site has that density consistently.
Definitely returning here, that is decided, and a look at heliokindle only made the case stronger, this is one of those rare websites that rewards regular visits rather than feeling stale after the first read which is something I cannot say about most of the places I bookmark today across all my topics.
A well calibrated piece that knew its scope and stayed inside it, and a look at mossharborcraftcollective maintained the same scope discipline, scope creep is one of the failure modes of long blog posts and this site has clearly invested in the editorial discipline to prevent it which shows up in tightly contained pieces.
If you scroll past this site without looking carefully you will miss something, and a stop at goodsflexstore extended that mild warning, the surface of the site does not advertise its quality loudly which means careful attention is required to recognise what is being offered here which is itself a kind of editorial signal.
Once I trust a site this much I tend to read everything they publish and that is the trajectory I am on with this one, and a stop at frostbrookvendorfoundry confirmed the trajectory, the rare progression from interested reader to comprehensive reader is something only certain sites earn and this one is earning that progression rapidly.
A piece that handled multiple complications without becoming confused, and a look at scarabvogue continued that organisational clarity, holding multiple threads in a single piece without losing any of them is a sign of skilled writing and this site has clearly developed the editorial discipline to manage complexity without sacrificing readability throughout.

Reading this felt productive in a way most internet reading does not, and a look at gunlex continued that productive feeling, sometimes the open web feels like a waste of time but sites like this remind me why I still bother to look around rather than retreating to old reliable sources for everything I need.

Quietly enthusiastic about this site after the past few hours of reading, and a stop at huskgenie extended that enthusiasm, the calibration of enthusiasm to evidence is something I try to maintain and this site has earned a calibrated quiet enthusiasm rather than the loud excitement that usually fades within a day or two of finding something.
Just want to say thank you for putting this together, posts like these make searching online actually worth it sometimes, and a quick look at opalriverartisanexchange kept that going, useful and easy to read without any of the tricks that ruin most blog comment sections lately on the wider open web.
Felt like the writer was speaking directly to someone with my level of curiosity, neither talking down nor showing off, and a stop at izoblade kept that comfortable matching going, finding writing that meets you where you are rather than asking you to climb up or stoop down feels great every time it happens.

A handful of memorable phrases from this one I will probably use later, and a look at jamkix added a couple more, content that contributes language to my own communication rather than just facts is content with a different kind of utility and this site is providing that linguistic utility consistently across what I read.
