What’s the best practice for importing water into Unreal? I saw one post talking about exporting the water information as a mesh but I’m having trouble getting UE to read the water mesh. It keeps thinking the OBJ WM exports is an FBX file and there’s nothing there when I look at the import. There was another post about exporting splines/vector data but I can’t find the information on how to do it this way.
How do those of you who use UE go about it?
Well, one problem with the OBJ import is it gets imported VERY tiny. I had to scale it 1085x to get it to approximately fit the landscape. There must be some pitch/yaw rounding errors in there because I cannot get the height right. If it’s fine on one end, it’s too high on the other, and vice-versa. I’ve tried adjusting X and Y rotation but it still won’t fit closely in height terms.
EDIT: the pitch/yaw issue was definitely a rounding error in UE. Instead of importing the model at scale 1 and then enlarging it inside the editor, I imported it at 100,000x scale. I then had to scale X 1.084, Y 1.084, and Z 1.65 to get it to fit reasonably accurately. Note that I scaled my landscape’s height (Z) by 2x when I imported the height map so your Z values may vary widely.
