Technical Artist and Developer Dmitry Karpukhin has recently shared a new demo showcasing the upcoming 1.4 update for Sky Creator, the developer’s renowned plug-in that lets its user control dynamic weather and time of day in Unreal Engine 4 and Unreal Engine 5.

According to a showcase video shared by Dmitry, the new version of the plug-in will feature a slew of brand-new realistic effects, with the list including puddles, ripples, rain drops, rain streaks, rain splatter, wind, and volumetric rain splashes. Moreover, most of the material effects shown in the demo are said to be procedural and simulated in Niagara, Unreal Engine’s visual effects system for creating real-time VFX.
