UE4 experimental buoyancy with render targets, no math involved @MarvelMaster

Uploaded July 2020 | Updated September 2026, 8 hours ago

Just a little testing of using render targets to achieve dynamic buoyancy on any surface. Usualy this is done with math in blueprint that gets propagated to material but I used render targets to see if the object is below the water surface and apply force to it if so.
The waves are very hight here to test in worst case scenario.
