How I build intricate particle behaviours using Niagara in UE

[@cyber_robot889]

9:51 i think this is beautiful way of explanation how newbies should learn, think and work on finding approaches to any solution.

[@CAyou]

That was super useful demonstration of what you can do with Niagara, with a good amount of details and explanations. Well done!

[@jeanrecrue]

Nice video ! Really cool of you to show your work !

[@ghislaingirardot]

Thank you!

[@cyber_robot889]

Hmm, i think we can simulate cockroaches ai from half life 1 with this. Like you know, they are escaping flashlight beam, and attracted to food.

[@ghislaingirardot]

Oh absolutely, and so much more :) That has been done for the UE5 reveal demo: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3SYfKeXqbKWi9k I can recommand that channel if you want to go further into this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpyviJyPZ7h1ibM

T'est français ça s'entend ! J'adore ce que tu fait merci ^^ !!

[@ghislaingirardot]

Non c'est pas vrai ça s'entend pas :pp Merci!

[@Omaruuto]

very curious if and how the crabs avoid the rocks if you are using Distance Fields

[@ghislaingirardot]

Yep distance fields! Project to the nearest surface, get the normal of that surface and if steep enough, treat as an obstacle and run in the opposite direction :)

this is very helpful, actually, I was looking for a method to bring animated mesh from Blender into Unreal using VAT, so can I ask what sort of script did you use? is there a plugin for it? Thanks!

[@ghislaingirardot]

Thank you! The script I used is the one you can find here: forums.unrealengine.com/t/vertex-animation-script-for-blender-3d-users/85580 It was working in 2.92 but I know Blender's Python API changed in 2.93 and 3.0 so this *might* (haven't tested yet) be broken right now with those versions.

[@abol_fazls]

@@ghislaingirardot Thank you so much, I will test that, cheers!

[@user-qb6tn3ul6j]

woo，its very cool, i want to know which tool did you use to generate vertex anim textures?I tried a tool ,but the textures canot match your material

[@ghislaingirardot]

forums.unrealengine.com/t/vertex-animation-script-for-blender-3d-users/85580 that one if I recall correctly
