Hey Man. 1st of all thanks for your Great tutorial... just one thing: you should update the part when you link the Grid3d_Gas_Master_Emitter to the Main_Particles_Emitter ( 5:19 )...I am using UE5.4.2 and now it is under the 'Grid3D Gas Initialize Particle Source' section... and it corresponds to the 'Particle Reader' | ''Emitter Binding'

Hey looks like the set fluid not showing up in this latest version

for those who couldn't find the "set fluid source attributes" in 4:09, you need to enable Niagara Fluids plugin to do this.

@@RedefineFX I didn't see yet the whole video, did you create the smoke effect initially using EmberGen simulation?

[@albertxavier8581]

I found instead of increasing 'Resolution Max Axis', increase 'Attribute Resolution Multiplier' can give you more details with much less cost (hover and hold, you can read the description of this field). For me, Resolution Max Axis' = 200, 'Attribute Resolution Multiplier' = 2 give me a good result without crashing the UE!

Hi there! AMAZING TUTORIAL!! Makes me happy to see there´s people willing to teach so much about Unreal out there specially in this platform. Quick question if you don´t mind. What are the specs of your pc? I don´t have that good of a pc but it´s quite reasonable, and I dont know why but every time I use niagara my GPU goes nuts going to 90% to even 100% crashing my Unreal. I have a RTX 3060 TI btw. My regards from Portugal!!😄

[@kazioo2]

Standard Niagara with sprites and particles shouldn't be a problem but Niagara FLUIDS is a whole different beast and can crash even better GPUs if used more than just for small things. This is cutting edge stuff, not really meant yet for games on a larger scale.

[@RedefineFX]

This was recorded on a 4090 and yes these sims will use 100% of your GPU

[@rodericdarkwell]

@@kazioo2 Oh ok... is there an alternative to have something similar more optimized for games? Thank you so much for the input

For games just use regular Niagara flipbooks

06:47 I'm finding that I can go to Resolution Max Axis of 400, but not 500 (I'm using a RTX 3060). But when I increase the Pressure Resolve Iterations from 6, UE will crash. I haved changed Scalability to my auto settings which becomes Epic (Prior I've been using Medium) which seems to have helped with increasing Resolution Max Axis.

Amazing stuff. I'm gonna buy the course for sure. I have only one question: in daylight i tried to reduce the density in "Fuild Source Attributes", because i wanted to try a less dense volume of smoke. But doing so all i get is less smoke. Basically i would love to keep the same volume but a bit more transparent. To accomplish this i have to work on the shader? I need it less visually invasive...

I always tell people to learn both as they both have their advantages but if you’re primarily an unreal engine artist then learn niagar first as it lives entirely inside UE

Ace tut. Can you emit smoke along a curve and up the level of detail, for say, a high res print?

You can emit particles along a curve, but there's currently no path follow force for the smoke. The detail can be raised when you cache the sim.

[@francescoadamo5448]

fantastic! this effect can be used for games?

Yes, but you’ll probably need to lower the resolution

[@briankranevitter3114]

Lowering the bounds size also helps a lot! If you don't need the trail to cover a large area, make the volume smaller and it'll improve the performance a lot.

Greate tutorial...is there a way to set this up so the portal can be brought in the level and rotated to face a different direction and not distort when facing away from the X? When I bring my portal in and attempt to place it in the direction I want it to face it distorts horribly...almost like wind is blowing it or something.

[@stormrungaming]

put it in a bp first?

[@trandS-c3t]

Change 'Vortex axis coordinate' in 'Vortex force' and 'Rotation coordinate' in 'Shape location' of the particles to 'local' will solve the problem, the 'wind blowing' effect is due to vortex force.

Only problem is when I rotate the portal it all goes crazy. Do I need to rotate it in the Niagara system itself? Anyone know how to do that?

I don’t understand what you’re trying accomplish by rotating it but if you don’t want the smoke to react as you rotate the sim box you need to cache the sim first

Hey if the smoke spawns in the preview of Niagara shouldn't it show up in the viewport of UE 5.4? Mine only shows the particles but not the smoke inside the actual viewport...however it looks great inside the Niagara preview....what is possibly the issue? I have tried Cinematic and Epic settings and I have a beast GPU and CPU with tons of RAM so is there a setting that may be preventing the Gas emitter from showing inside the viewport?
