I would love to see what you guys make using EasyFog! Use the hashtag #UnrealEasyFog on Instagram, and I'll be sure to check your work out!💕
Will you make Volume fog tutorial? thank you
Hi William! Is this compatible with Ultra Dynamic Sky and weather?
@@he6e It is! Youll just need to adjust EasyFog to match your environment:)
I did not even get past the how to install before i jumped to the Marketplace to buy it 🤩😍 I really think it is weird that Epic has not made something like this as a source asset.
It should have been in the same list as were you find heightfog :) Thank you for sharing this for such a good price...
Bought it through UE market place and it seems , I have to download it , because no option for adding the project. But how to download in epic launcher ?
Good sir, you have no idea how badly me and my team needed this a few months ago. This is amazing
Hope it's not too late! Thank you :)
I've been playing around with this over the last week William, and this tool is well worth the price. Placing fog into a scene without the headache of using animated fog planes is saving me so much time. Awesome work.
Everytime you upload a video, I get mind blown by the quality and the creativity of the environements and cinematography ! Like dude that into was WOW !!!
Looks amazing (winter scene is glorious), and just happens to be something I wanted in something I'm currently making. What helps sell this is your real world instructional ability and presentation. Thank you. You have another customer. 🤘
Just discovered your channel a week or so ago (dunno which rock I've been living under) and am amazed how much you give to the community with an extremely high level of quality. This was the most easily spent money in a long time, look forward to using it in my projects as I learn more about UE.
Your timing is impeccable William! I was just getting started building something similar for a scene. And it was frustrating that I thought I was going to have to spend so much time on something that was only such a small part of the whole when I'm on a deadline.
Thank you very much!
It's always a pleasure to catch one of your tutorials; so informative and immensely inspiring. I can't lie, I purchased the kit before you'd even got to how to install! This is a wonderful tool and super helpful tutorial. Thank you :)
Brilliant as usual Will! Thank you for all you do for the community!
I've been following this channel since the beginning and I have to tell you, this channel is a must when you're learning Unreal as a 3D artist. They explain settings in a way that others don't, unlike others who just say "put this here, and here." Cheers. I'm sure I'll buy Easy Fog. Greetings from Argentina.
Hey William, thanks for making this useful tool accessible to us. The distinction between the studio and personal licenses is a great way to go.
When you explain that you created this blueprint for your own projects, I truly believe it. :)
Not only the amazing tool but also the wonderful tutorial. I wish every creator/artist could explain things like you! Thank you for your work!
I was searching SO LONG for something like this, thanks for sharing!
This is very nicely executed. I am using it for a game with underground levels, so I had to tweak the settings quite a bit to get a decent effect, but I think it looks a fair bit more natural than the noise-based solution I had before.
Does the density and appearance of it change drastically when you adjust your Engine Scalability Settings up or down/ in-game graphics settings? I'm looking for fog that wouldn't become more or less opaque or dense depending on the graphical settings
William with the best content as usual, thanks for taking the time man!
This looks fantastic and so easy to implement, much more flexible than exponential / volumetric fog in so many cases, thank you a lot!
This looks incredibly handy! Thanks for sharing it 🥳 Have a great 2023, William!
Just bought it . This is going to be amazing . Thank you William for all your efforts . Love the way you impart you knowledge :)
It's amazing, I have been searching for a blueprint like that for a long time and when I saw the video I literally clicked to buy the blueprint before even finishing the video. Thank you so much for the blueprint and the tutorial ❤️
me too
Bought it right when i saw it here, very convenient for making accents in a scene. Ofcourse there are things like UDS but i needed exactly this type of workflow, very fast and very nice! Also really affordable. Thanks alot!
I don't think a tool has arrived more precisely at the exact moment it was needed, than this tool right now for the project I am working on.
Synchronicity!
Just bought it. After a few months learning UE5 you are easily the most professional I've seen and the one I've learnt from the most. Thank you!
I love those high quality and easy to use tools for unreal engine cinematics as I am more a cinematographer than a 3d artist. These tools help me a lot to bring my vision to life without needing to get to technical and spending hours on youtube tutorials. Thank you so much and best regards from sweden!
You are amazing like usual. Thanks a lot.
This is a great tool to have! Thanks so much William, this is a big achievement!
Dude... THANK YOU! I´ve been struggling to do proper fog until you made this! Its much more intuitive and fun to play with it!
I'm just going to say this now. I'll buy every single unreal blueprint, plugin, content pack you make. Keep up the great work!
Congrats on launching this William! can't wait to try easy fog on my landscape projects, this will be amazing!
wow i am glad you take the time to create this wonderfull tool and tutorial, thx Williams
Hey William, I just bought this today and it really is excellent. Thank you, and this video helped loads! I am very much a beginner but I have come on leaps with your content.
Good to see you back William! OMG I'm so gonna buy this. Exactly what I needed!
The creation of stuff like this makes me glad I got into UE5 so recently :)
I worked a lot with fog on an older project. The only reason I went with volumetric fog was because of the clipping so the fading setting is a great addition. Going to try it out in my current scene!
Really awesome work, immediately bought. Thanks for putting this together.
Have been working with EasyFog for a couple of projects now, freaking awesome bro! Kitbashing clouds, understanding that it is an addon but have I been looking for this... and at such low extra effort of my graphics card, you are the man!!
Omg William, this is exactly what I need! Really looking forward to using this. Thanks.
Instant purchase for me yesterday, keep up the inspiring work William!
Thank you so much for your work and tutorials William, they are so helpful!
Thanks William !, very nice tool and a very informative tutorial as usual, I got this already and I would basically buy anything you make xD. Please make more tutorials for Unreal, we really miss you man !!!
very much appreciated, as well as the work and research put into your videos. looking forward to more unreal visual set pieces you throw at us in the future. (i bring up that video of the night shot in davinci resolve fairly often, thank you!)
Just got it. Thank you so much for developing this. It's gonna make a huge difference 🙂
Thanks, this looks like a fantastic tool - can't wait to try it. Happy to support you in whatever way I can.
Hi William, just installed this tool for the first time, instant results and absolutely brilliant tutorial! Many thanks!
William is the man. He's done exactly what I as a designer would like to see in unreal. Easy CGI, no back coding or complicated setups. Using Niagara is so daunting and has interfered with my team project just trying to get it to behave properly. this is perfect timing and such a relief! Adding an easily accessible opacity and wind settings is a designers dream for smoke assets!
Now my team and I can move forward with our project because of this great innovation. Easy FOG! and it can be used in so many creative ways, as Steam, clouds, fog, gas, anything!
This is superb! I've already implemented it in the current work I'm doing at my studio. The tool is great! One thing I'm missing is small scale dust clouds (figured maybe I can make my own). Another feature that would be perfect is the abilty to fade the edges. Maybe this can be done by having a feathered circle as a Multiply to the opacity map. This would make it easy to scale and translate the position of the circle with parameters in the blueprint. This would really benefit the illusion of volumetric fog that is lit up by i.e. a point light, making it so the fog is only visible around the light. Great work!
This comes at perfect timing for a project that needs to be wrapped up ASAP. Instant buy! Thank you.
I just got this and I am impressed, thank you so much William. Brilliant tool.
This is a very well made tool, nicely packaged and easy to use! There are tons of use cases for this and something just like EasyFog has been sorely needed by the community for some time now. Well done on posting this awesome introduction/tutorial video to accompany the release of EasyFog. Thanks William!
Thanks so much Justin, appreciate it!
Bought without hesitation! This will be perfect for epic nature scenes! Thank you for this plugin!
wow, so simple but at the same time incredible useful. Thanks for the content!
Genius! You've made things much easier. Bought it now and it works 100%
Thank you so much for the tutorial William!
This reminds me of how the Rebirth UE4 render team used geometry fading distance for the iceland mountain fog. Great stuff, I was always to lazy to make it because I haven't had to implement it into a project yet, but this is awesome. Definitely worth more than 5 dollars!
Thanks Owen! Yeah this is very much a similar approach, if not the same approach!
@@WilliamFaucher Yeah. I watched the BTS and knew I was gonna use it eventually but haven't made the time to make it. So thanks for making it even easier. Hope my purchase helps make your content easier to produce!
I literally had exactly the same thought, once I saw the geometry fading property I was like "Hi guys, Joe Garth from Quixel here..." LOL. William, you sir are the man. Your content is so professional and high quality, I always learn so much from you. I bought this and can't wait to try it out! And I would gladly pay for any future addons/blueprints you create
they made the fog cards using noise in houdini
@@paranoiac3930 Depends on which fog cards. The ones on the mountains behind the trailer were all geometry fading distance. the ground fog cards were houdini if I didn't miss anything. I think it used both in the Rebirth show
This is incredible!! Perfect for my project, an instant purchase. Would love a Volumetric Light Shaft pack too-customizable cards or cone meshes to be used for flashlights or searchlights in fog as UE doesn’t support moving lights in exponential height fogs without reinstantiating. Great work!
I just purchased this recently. Thank you for the detail tutorial, I can't wait to use it! 👍
I bet this could be used for clouds or even a nebula in a space scenes.
Wow this is what I'm looking for, thank you for tutorial william!
Just bought it, Thank you so much William 😀
The intro is extremely beautiful, and thank you so much for the Tutorial, William!
Thank you! Appreciate it!
Thanks for this William. Got it through artstation. Will be using it in my current personal work and tag easy fog
I must say I was pleasantly surprised at the value proposition. I was expecting the add-on to be more expensive. Priced as a genuine allure. Well done!
(Ed: Very nice to play with / add those extra touches). Good work!
this is really awesome, can't wait to use this!
Just bought it and thank you so much for the perfect tutorial on how to use it. I will be adding the hashtag to my work. Have a great holiday season!
I've been planning on spending time making one of these systems myself then stumbled upon this...Got it a few hours ago and WOW makes such a huge differance + such a blueprint programming time saver. Thanks Will!!!
Super cool as always. You've been a great inspiration and source of knowledge to me since I started using UE! Thank you.
Thanks William I will put this to use on my new project!
Man i skimmed over your fog in marketplace like so many times over the last couple months. Am fairly new to game/scene production and was skeptical cuz i just didn't know enough. This makes me sold on it.

Thats amazing!! thanks for the mystery fogs!
Good job on Easy Fog! I have not stopped playing around with it for hours...
Beautiful stuff. Thanks William.
Amazing job with this William! I have been looking for something like this in Unreal for a LONG time! I would love to see more products from you!
As someone who renders cinematics and uses a Blender-To-Unreal Engine workflow, I use a lot of 2D Image Sequences as Planes. This includes transparency and sometimes emission for materials involving fire or explosions. I'd love to see maybe a blueprint much like this but where you can input a Base Texture for either a transparent video (ActionVFX Assets) or an Image Sequence. Much like with Easy Fog what would work well is Geometry and Camera Fade Distances, your Wind Speed tools, an option for the Normal Maps (which could work for people who know how to convert our Videos/Image Sequences to Normal Maps), options for Emission, and maybe even a color ramp or threshold-esque value that can act as a way to mask out what will be emissive and what will not be emissive (which can work really well for explosions and smoke/fire fx). And since people will most likely utilize this with sequencer, having an option to set up a starting keyframe to being the sequence, option to loop, or option to speed/slow down would make it the perfect tool for cinematics! I think this would make for an excellent asset and shouldn't be much different from the base you've set up with EasyFog!
This has been the biggest issue for me using Unreal as it's just not as easy to set this up as it is in Blender. In Blender it's just a few clicks while in Unreal it involves coding, scripting, setting up Blueprints, etc. It's a HUGE hassle so I'd love to see a tool like this sometime soon! Amazing job with EasyFog, Will! Looking forward to anything else you put out!
This is a glorious super useful exactly what I was looking for super affordable plugin. Thank you so much William!
Awesome addon. Buying now!
So helpful, really amazing! This will definitely make my projects a lot more betterer 😎
Brilliant! Can't wait to try it!!!
Purchased and it is great for distant meshes and spaces especially distant forest and mountains. OMG
