Create MUZZLE FLASH Gun FX for Unreal 5 Cinematics

[@BonzerKitten]

Just a quick tip for anyone who might be interested: you don't necessarily need to use a plugin to cache the results from your Niagara System to make sure it always plays the same, for that you can simply turn on the "Determinism" option in the Niagara System itself. As a matter of fact, you can even change the seed for each emitter until you find a result that works well with the rest of your composition. Happy learning everyone! You got this! :)

[@JoshToonen]

Yes! Awesome tip, the seed control is great. Excellent idea!

[@DropThePiProductions]

Wow it looks amazing! Best Godzilla remake I've seen so far! 🤩

[@buffdezines7924]

I've seen enough...I am signing up for your class!!

[@besterjr2312]

Learning Unreal right now! cant wait to show what a beginner can do in a few months, its a shortfilm based on my sci-fi novel of 7 years. these videos really help!

[@brussellstudios]

Been looking for a straight forward tut on muzzle flashes and projectiles for sequencer. Thanks for this!

[@SpongeCrabs]

Thanks for this video! this is exactly what I need for my task❤

[@JoshuaMKerr]

Nice work Josh! Great tip on niagra cache.

[@BingGeaux]

@7:21 - I'm following your every move except right here - for a brief flash, your scene shows the "bullet" vertical as it goes along the path of the 0.0 cone angle. but quickly it reverts back to the horizontal "bullet" - here's why I bring it up - my image of the muzzle flash as a bullet image is always laying flat and now it looks nothing like a bullet, but it is like the fifth time I've gone through the steps and every time, this is where it breaks. Plus, when hovering over the sprite, it is a flat image despite it being stretched

[@SurenSargsyan]

Brilliant tutorial, thanks 🤩

[@Truong1557]

awsome tut! thnk Josh

[@simonflash_music]

Thanks for sharing! I love your workflow. The Movie Render Graph might be beyond this video's scope, but it's great for isolating layers during rendering.

[@tryptamedia7375]

Can you do a video on your lighting pass render workflow? Just organizationally how you approach making sure you have all the correct passes isolated. Is it just as simple as loading and unloading lighting levels?

[@JoshToonen]

I definitely can, but you're spot on. You really just hide/show lights by hiding your Levels and animating "Hidden in Game" in Sequencer to hide everything else! Just keep reducing until you see what you want the final render to be. Then each Level Sequence is it's own Render Pass. Hope that helps!

[@tryptamedia7375]

@@JoshToonen Super helpful thanks!

[@captommy]

Thank you!! Keep it up!!

[@Artof3drendering]

really cool stuff!

[@Im_Ninooo]

really helpful! my only annoyance with this setup is that the impact particles are shooting at an unnatural direction (back towards the weapon instead of forwards), and there doesn't seem to be an easy way to fix that without using blueprints.

[@SolarCookie300]

Thank you !

[@monkybone5102]

Nice Tutorial. I did this for a Star Wars Szene, but my Laser Beams are too slow. how can i speed them up? the ship is flying faster than the beams ^^

[@NINETY-97-SEVEN]

could you make a video on real footage and adding VFX or compositing stuff in Unreal engine 5 / Davinci resolve? great video btw loved it and subbed!!

[@descendinguniverse]

super useful!

[@RohanCreation5]

Can you make a Detailed And Simple Understanding Video On How to render Render Render-Passes and Clay renders For Showcasing work in Portfolio It would be beneficial?

[@JohnPaul-fx8go]

Hi Josh, quick question , do you prefer MacBook pro for unreal engine ?

[@devarshkesharwanibusiness4825]

post a video on latest one click unreal rigging system and also facial animation

[@isaacavacado7744]

I feel like something is skipped around the 7 minute mark. I can't get the bullets to appear at all, the flash just keeps doing weird things

[@AlexisBarker-oz1nq]

Can u do this when making a fps game?

[@CGToonStudio]

Hi Josh sir I’m working on a simple animation project in Unreal Engine 5.4. It’s a 10-15 minute documentary-style video for KZbin in 1080p, featuring MetaHumans and city life scenes. I’m sourcing assets from Sketchfab and will do color grading in DaVinci Resolve 19. Since I’m not creating games, I’m focused on keeping Unreal’s size small and optimizing performance for smoother viewport and faster rendering. Could you make a video covering all possible ways to optimize Unreal Engine for animation projects like mine? It would be incredibly helpful to learn how to manage MetaHumans, streamline rendering, and keep the project lightweight. Thanks so much in Advance.

[@lakshayjain4075]

Can't we render the cryptomatte pass, instead of rendering everything seperately?

[@OwaisAhmedcooldude]

My Niagara particles don't show anything in the viewport for some reason. Does anyone know why this is happening?

[@dashaybudda9557]

Probably need a plugin.

[@adyanknx]

What’s your pc specs?

[@tiagotorres8890]

I need help, pleaseeeeeee... I followed the tutorial, but sometimes my bullet start in a location before the muzzle flash. Its like mezzle flash is in front of the gun, but the bullet start behind the gun. I try but I cant fix it... someone can help me pleaseeeeee?🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@BingGeaux]

@5:27 - I don't have "Blend Modes" for some reason on 5.3.2???

[@BingGeaux]
