Liquid Bottle Simulation VFX
Simulates liquid in bottles based on movement/Velocity (can also be used with physics ). The appearance of the liquid customizable by tweaking the values in material instances and exposed Blueprint variables. The asset is easily be implemented to custom models by simply applying the material on the object(Documentation/Tutorial will be coming soon).
Important Info: Currently works in Unreal Engine 4.25. Will be improved and updated to newer engine versions. The Asset can also be updated manually by importing to an existing 4.25 project and opening the project in a newer engine.
Simply unzip and move the folder to an existing Ue4 project content folder.

what’s Inside:
2 Blueprints, 6 Master Materials, 29 Material Instances & 1 Material Function, 26 Static Meshes, 4 Textures, 1 Demo Map
Features:
- Animates based on movement and has Physics Capability
- Full appearance customization via Material Instance
- Fill amount customization via Blueprint. Can be used in another blueprint or animation
- Masked material support for optimized
- Translucent material support (Uses Inner and Outer Mesh for liquid)
Documentation:
Included with asset
Known Bugs and Fixes:
There is a bit of a trade-off on how the liquid animates where it can be canceled out based on the direction of movement especially when moving between negative and positive values in a direction that can produce weird results when physics is enabled. Alternatively, clamping the values produces better results but may not animate in certain directions. I've added a boolean/switch as a workaround on the blueprint for your preference.
Important/Additional Notes:
Having many instances of the asset in one area is not recommended due to Translucency overlapping especially on the Translucent Bottle since it uses inner and outer models but Feel free to test it out.
