FluidNinja VFX Tools v1.8.54.1 (5.5-5.7) is a 2D fluid simulation baking toolkit designed for Unreal Engine 5.4 to 5.7. It enables developers to create lightweight fluid simulations with baked data assets as small as 1–4 MB, offering a high-performance alternative to traditional VDB assets that can consume 100–400 MB. The toolkit includes a real-time fluid simulator with viewport support, a baking tool that exports density and velocity data to flipbooks and player materials, and support for heterogeneous volume setups including Cloud Volume and Fog Volume. It integrates with Niagara to sample baked fluid data and drive GPU particle systems. The tool also provides demo levels showcasing both stylized and realistic visual effects. Input sources include Niagara particles, bitmaps, and a painter interface, while output includes flipbooks, flowmaps, and container materials that embed baked simulation data for efficient runtime use.
