Hello sir> hello can u send me link of file where blueprint and niagara particles are added preset for easy use directly> i want to use it for videos with alpha channel >added as material to a plane> and want to emit particles only from RGB channel of plane material

Thnakiuu alot

I was really hoping you would show us how you did the triple -color gradient. I've been working on this for a while now and can't figure it out.

Is there a way to scale the whole system rather than just the particles?

super helpful stuff! thanks

if i want to do it on an enemy? does it matter how i warp it around the object?

Awesome Video! But I do have a question. What if you want the particles to reduce in size as the camera gets further away? Also is there a way to reduce spawn rate as the camera gets further away?

Nice! Not sure if you talk about in any if your courses, but would be awesome one about custom modules of niagara, is hard to find stuff related

So eloquently explained, thanks so much!

good stuff! this is a 4year old video.. are there simpler ways of achieving this material blending in UE5?

dosent work on my foliage for some reason, it takes the whole foliage as one obj

how long the course will be?

Bought te tool!Good job bun man plz make it beginer friendly you are speaking like you are high..

how about optimization WPO?

Make sure Emiter "Local Space" is off And the --- Shape "Box Size" is two times the size of --- Keep to Box "BoxSize"

Even after 4 years this still works! Thx man for the help!

why dont we have a simple ramp node that takes greyscale and outputs colored ramp, isnt this very basic thing that is missing?

Is there a way to use more than R G B A in the painting. I am using RGB for tint colour and Alpha for the 2nd layer blending, I've run out of channels, any way to get more for things like dirt etc?

Absolutely OP tutorial!

Best engone in the universe Don't have simple color ramp

I wish I could see you in real life so I could kiss you, you mad, mad man

Thanks! Idk why Unreal decided to stop flagging the Niagara usage by default for me.

Do you think we could get a tutorial like this but specifically with eroding/dissolving? It'd be a huge help.

Hello Im trying to make a material that fully disapears when you get close and enlarges when you walk away and then fully disapears after a certain distance however im having troubles tweaking this to work my material is also translucent and I would like it to be a sprite too if you could help that would be great I can pay if needed

Thanks, that looping bit was something I got stuck on for triggering another emitter on collision. So unintuitive.

Do you have a video showing how to spawn particles on an animated texture without using the g buffer? I can't find a simple, straight forward explanation on how to do it.

Thank you :)

Interesting stuff, and my feedback is nice beard

Audio's a bit low on this one but otherwise another good video. One thing I want to point out/correct is about using curves to control the distribution of random numbers. Around 10:15 you start showing how to do this, and you explain that the first example of a line gives the same result as no curve, meaning a uniform distribution. That's true and makes sense. The next example uses the template cubic curve that we use all the time in VFX with 0 on either end and 1 in the middle. You say that with this curve, you're much more likely to get values in the middle (where the curve peaks) as opposed to the ends. However, by this logic you would expect the line in the first example to produce many more values at the high end of the curve than at the low end. In the third example you then set the curve to 0 for most of the range, and explain that this will produce an output of 0 most of the time. This is of course true, but it contradicts the logic of the second example. The curve that's used to define the distribution here is not the actual distribution of the results. It makes intuitive sense in the first and last examples as you explain, but I think the second one causes confusion because it looks like a bell curve and we (myself included) initially make the assumption that it actually represents the distribution. In reality the distribution of values for the second curve looks like a U, with many values around 0 and equally as many around 1. The distribution is bimodal. If you only want values to cluster around 1, then the ends of the curve need to drop sharply. If you couldn't tell I've spent a good bit of time digging into this lol. I've wanted to learn how to redistribute random numbers in Niagara for a while now, and this video gave me some great insight and motivation to dig deeper. I haven't yet figured out how to visualize the actual distribution give an IO curve in Niagara, but I'll post here when I figure that out.

THANK YOU! You are a lifesaver for this video!

would this work with a landscape RVT? ie) if you were using an RVT to create a mask for a burning forest, could you sample the mask to spawn smoke and embers?

While searching for agx tonemap for unreal, I came across your "gt tonemap" video. While reviewing your other videos, I found a treasure that I have been looking for for the last 3 months. In the games I reviewed (Cod:waw and Fallout 4), when rain particles entered the interior, they did not become transparent, they collapsed! I knew that this was done with Worldposition and that it was simple, but I could not find a solution. Thank you very much. :)

hey mate, lighting artist here, first off i want to say thank you, i really like your tutorials, love the pacing and deep knowledge. dont subscribe to channels too often, but yours definitely "deserves" it. i was wondering if you could answer a question/problem i couldnt find a solution for. as a lighting artist, i often quickly switch between cameras in my scene. what im looking for, is a way to create a shortcut to jump to the next placed camera in the scene, or just in general create a shortcut to switch to any given camera. i know about bookmarks, but they dont apply to a selected camera, so i dont see the scene with possible lens settings, post processing applied to the camera actor etc. i also know how to lets say create a blueprint to let me change cameras in-game, but i want to do so in the editor. there doesnt seem to be an appropriate keyboard shortcut in the editor settings either. im pretty surprised there doesnt seem to be an obvious solution to this, any help/insight on this would be highly appreciated.

Your course seems interesting. Is there a way to make a material that interacts with light? I would like it to measure the illuminance of the surface (in lux) and when it exceeds a certain threshold (e.g. 0.4 lx), it changes color. Is something like this possible and can I learn something like this in your course?

bro whats with the volume of your video.

Amazing dev diary, I'm seen this process now and I can undertand things that I cant one month ago, because I'm doing your classes, thanks for sharing this process

Hi! Thank you very much for your great content. It always helps me. But I don't understand something here: when I use negative values multiplied by the Vertex Normal WS it doesn't shrink, it grows.

Great stuff, Tom! Thank you for sharing! I have a question regarding the waterfall. How did you get the base mesh for it? Thank you.

Been loving these breakdowns Thomas! keep them coming! 💪

Any way of lerping more than 3 colors in a gradient without using a gradient map? E.g. 10, 20 or 30 gradient color points?

super nice! thanks for sharing the knowledge. im wondering if that technique could be applied to a spline mesh, so you could even generate the mesh in-engine and maybe even modify on runtime. definitely gonna check that out!

Thank

Extremely helpful as always, thank you!

Great tutorial! Helped me a lot! Tks

You can sort of get it to work with instances, using a VertexInterpolator after the Object position you now get the position of the instance, but no idea how to get the scale or bounds

Apparently UE5.4 has expanded Tier 2 VSR based on the Gears Tactics implementation but there is basically nothing online talking about it outside of 2 lines in the Change log. (Also software VSR r.VRS.EnableSoftware)

This is definitely getting more and more interesting.

This may not be the place to ask this question but here goes. Embergen renders out really nice depth maps for flipbook renders. Is there a way of using these to essentially "Push and Pull" pixels in screen depth buffer in UE5? Hope the question makes sense. I'm very new to UE5 (propietry engines and whatnot in the past) and your Udemy videos have been a godsend. thank you :)
