Cosmic Forge - Asteroid Rings Library for Unreal Engine 5.3+

Cosmic Forge - Asteroid Rings Library for Unreal Engine 5.3+

💢 How to Use in your Scene VIDEO: Tutorial_01

💢 Cinematic Render

💢 Experience the depths of Space like never before with this extraordinary Blueprint Setup that enables you to generate vast asteroid fields with custom rotation per instance and collisions. You can create massive amounts of Combinations with various blueprint-driven variables! This project is primarily designed for Cinematics.

💢 VDB Dust clouds give a far more dynamic perspective to the scene and perfectly blend with the Asteroid System. Control the flow of your asteroids via local rotation per instance and the whole system simultaneously.

💢 Asteroids are extremely detailed in terms of textures and geometry. Nanite is used to boost performance and allow for film-like quality for your assets.

💢 Nanite Displacement is now supported in both UE 5.3 and 5.4

💢 Niagara System for Asteroid Ring, Nebulas and Dust Clouds

💢 ​A fully customizable Skybox System is included with 12 HDRI domes to enhance your scenes.

💢 A black hole is also included in the project which is fully customizable via the Blueprint setup.

💢 ​Full Ship Controls are provided to allow you to fly your ship through the Asteroid Field and start your journey on making your space video game.
