Thanks

[@azielarts]

Thank you so much for this! You Rock!!

[@AnimatorsJourney]

@@azielarts You're welcome! Thanks for the tutorial, it helped me add some bullet trails while rendering an animation students shot :)

[@azielarts]

@@AnimatorsJourney Right on! Happy to help!

[@ovalteens]

love the quick clarity! thanks for making this and keep it up!

[@Sargonius]

Amazing tutorial, thank you so much!

[@mists_of_time]

What an amazing tutorial! Thank you!

[@azielarts]

You are welcome!

[@henrybear4600]

Love the effect. I don't have a use for it, but will keep this idea for future projects. Great Job!

[@TheDigiVault]

Great tutorial. Works really well. Thank you

[@alfonseraffa2308]

Wow super easy tutorial and effective, thank you so much !

[@johnjedjorn2186]

First, thank you, seriously. I NEVER subscribe to things. In my years on KZbin, I never would subscribe because I hated the notifications. But in this case, you did what many teachers would miss doing. Which brings me to the second point, I appreciate how much you are willing to explain why we do the action we are doing. This is what causes users to actually learn. Lastly, one additional thing I would like to request is any guides or pointers in these videos on how to optimize things for shipping into production. Again, Thank you so much.

[@azielarts]

Amazing! I am so happy to hear this. It is really why I do what I do. I learned most of what I know from the internet, so I am just returning the favor. Also, great question on the builds. I will see what I can do, though I have less experience in that area.

[@lostmonkvfx]

Awesome, bro. My self-work is also going on, and your two tutorials will help me a lot.

[@azielarts]

Amazing!! I am so happy to hear that. That is why I do it.

[@SamsaraOhara]

Amazing tutorial! To the point and detailed!

[@vivektyagi6848]

Awesome. Can you please enhance the collision with explosion that lights up a fire in the collision area. Thanks 🎉

[@Ken-us3xf]

Dude, kickass videos man! I love how you explain the reasons for each of the different settings. It really helps learning everything. Very informative in every way!

[@azielarts]

Thanks so much man! I am so happy to hear that the videos have been helpful. I totally agree, my hope is that if you understand a bit more of why you do something, it can apply to more types of situations and things you want to make 👍

[@prometheus_beard]

Nice one mate, great tutorials thanks!

[@user-ps6ds5ov2l]

Thanks!Good work!❤

[@YiiPii-Studio]

Would be cool if you can add a video-turt on how to add the kinda soundseffects for bullets etc that you have in the example.. ty in advance =)

[@Russoxo]

good job. Good pace and clarity. Really helped :)

[@Enryo-]

addicted to watching this guides.. keep it up !

Amazing! I am addicted to making them 😉

Amazing! definitely learnt new things here! and easy to understand.

[@azielarts]

Awesome!!

[@dirreeN]

I've been learning UE5 for about 4 months now, and i have to say that your tutorials are the best on YT hands down.. They are clear, easy to follow but yet very informative.. I just want to thank you for the hard work you put in, and for sharing your knowledge with us.. Thank you!

[@azielarts]

You are so welcome!! This made my day. It is exactly why I do this:) I am so pumped for you !!!! Out of curiosity, are you a student, or currently a digital artist of some kind, or a Filmmaker?

[@dirreeN]

Right now it's more of a hobby, and i love the fimmaking aspect of it.. Still very new to it and need to invest in a new PC but for me it's more filmmaking, enviroments and VFX stuff😄@@azielarts

[@PainnGames]

I agree with him 100%

[@user-zu2ie1kn5u]

Thank you teacher 🙏🙏🙏

You are welcome. What are you making?

@@azielarts I'm currently practicing making a short film.

[@MaxHogendijk]

So Cool! i used this for my Star Wars ATAT walker animation. The ATAT will get full load of this system :)

[@azielarts]

AWESOME! That is such a great place to use this. Did not realize how close to their look it was.

[@UE_5_beginner]

dope af : )

[@azielarts]

💪🤙

[@surendrasaini4504]

great tutorial, just a question Aziel, how can i add an "impact texture" on the surface after bullet hit and collision happened. the texture of damage should remain permanent.

[@azielarts]

Thanks so much!

[@Wax4D]

Amazing 💪

[@toonanimationstudio]

My gahd thank you so much bro but is there a way to make the particle come closer to emit from a point like machine gun cause this one is spaced out alot

[@AliElZoheiry]

Wow, the lighting of your webcam video is amazing, any tips for a fellow content creator like myself on what you're using to get such good webcam quality and lighting?

[@azielarts]

Thanks so much! I don't have a huge setup. Just a single light with a soft box. Here is what I am using. CAMERA - amzn.to/3mAnjF7 LENS - amzn.to/48f9fDE MICROPHONE - amzn.to/3KY6Nrq LIGHT - amzn.to/48gp5xV SOFTBOX - amzn.to/3PBNwP5

[@AliElZoheiry]

@@azielarts Thank you for the reply and for the links, that's a lot nice equipment! keep up the great work 💪

[@azielarts]

Yeah true, it did take some time to build up to it :) I think lighting makes the biggest difference, so if you are looking to be more strategic then, that is what I would do :) good luck 👍

[@AliElZoheiry]

@@azielarts Awesome! Thanks for the advice 🙏❤️

[@Peluche070]

Can we spawn Niagara particle as trails pff geometry like long exposure light trails that stay constant?

[@azielarts]

yep, you can also just spawn a line of particles and have them not die off right away to cheat that sort of effect if you want

[@zombiebobo]

Thank you

[@azielarts]

No problem 👍

[@littledebbiescake]

Amazing tutorial! Thank you so much for sharing! I am following along and have run into a slight problem: the particles seem to collide with the trees, and the spawned particles work. But only if I hide the PCG... when hidden I can see the sparks hitting the (invisible) trees, but when I unhide the PCG my sparks only very sporadically show up. Am I missing something here? I would really appreciate your help with this one! Again, thank you for making great content!

[@programthis3805]

check your collision threshold if particles arnt spawning at the collision locaiton

[@azielarts]

Solid Tip! Thanks for sharing 🙏

[@LeThang-yz7qo]

hey bro, that's great my friend, Can you increase the frequency of tutorials?

[@azielarts]

Haha I will do my best

[@stabbedbyapanda]

lmao

[@zaddyyissuez]

Hello Aziel! Thank you so much for this, it was super informative! One question - do you know how well this performs in a video game? Is this solution performance heavy for real time (like if a player spams the shoot button for example)? The game I'm working on is for two players with network co-op

[@azielarts]

Hey! Yes it is very performant because you are just using a small number of sprites. If you are talking about VR or mobile, that might be a different story, but for a PC or console target, it should work well👍

[@ArminJohansson]

Great stuff

[@azielarts]

🤙

How would you go about attaching this to a projectile from a gun?

[@aliamirian15]

you are awesome man

[@azielarts]

Thank you! Glad it was helpful 👍

[@mayssayasmina2072]

hi ! please can you show me how to make this method to work or act like a CFD (compu fluid) in unreal thank you

[@leo4841]

Hello very good your tutorial. I have a question, when colliding the particles I see that they come out in vertical position and it looks weird, I have added the end of the particles as you say in the tutorial but they are still seen, is there another way to fix this? Another question is, how can I make these particles come out of a gun or a cannon? thanks and greetings

[@roundfourde]

You need to set the Directional Burst effect to Velocity Aligned as well

[@SotiW14]

Tell me why the life cycle of Niagara in the sequencer only works when the slider stops on this red cycle scale - after all, it should work correctly when played on this red scale!?

[@toonanimationstudio]

I have a problem whenever i add the "recieve collision event, unreal engine crashes am using ue5.2

[@mihaiciocan2169]

you re good

[@Frixos000]

👍

[@itscoldcoldwinter]

we can use this to make rain/hail

[@azielarts]

yep very similar for rain or hail, you just need to point it down ;)

[@itscoldcoldwinter]

@@azielarts im using it for uefn but its need to do a lot of changes due perfomace
