In this tutorial, I will show you how to create a disintegration effect in Unreal Engine 5 using Niagara that works for both static and skeletal meshes. The effect will spawn particles at the edges of the dissolving mesh, creating a realistic and visually appealing effect.
What you will learn:
How to create a Niagara emitter for the disintegration effect
How to use dynamic parameters to spawn particles at the edges of the dissolving mesh
How to make the effect work for both static and skeletal meshes
You can use a variety of different particle meshes and materials to create different disintegration effects.
You can also use dynamic parameters to control other aspects of the effect, such as the particle size, velocity, and color.
You can use Niagara modules to create additional effects, such as smoke, fire, and sparks.
Example use cases:
Disintegrating enemies in a video game
Breaking apart objects in a physics simulation
Creating a special effects sequence for a movie or TV show

For those who want to animate in Sequencer, if the material does not dissolve, there is a guide on Unreal Engine's page as "Modifying Blueprint Properties with Sequencer" To put it briefly: 1- Set the Alpha variable to "Expose to Cinematics" 2- In the "Class Settings" of the blueprint you need to check the option "Run construction script in the sequencer"

[@BonzerKitten]

Your videos are simply fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. :)

[@IFiOstudio]

This is fantastic, will try this out, thank you so much man!!!!!

[@livesey3d]

You’re the one of few channels that I didn’t skip the paid ads. Keep up the good work!

Thanks

I think im gonna support you on patreon man. you are godlike.

[@UnrealCG]

Thanks

[@cosmosunited]

Thank you man!

[@VinoVenitas]

Loved the effect and the skills you taught me. Its just too bad I cant use this for my sprite based game. But still a very coo effect.

[@ZeliusDev]

im on 5.3 and i got as far as 50:59, Impressive tutorial none the less. everything has worked up until the point I noted but manny does not dissolve Update: I got it to work! on UE 5.3.2

[@ZeliusDev]

I really wanted to make this dissolve thing work, In my FPS game enemies dissolve after they ragdoll before they die now thanks to you!

[@RikutoTheGoat]

Hey, could you make a video on beam clashes? It’s never been done on a tutorial before

[@BurNOut-DaT]

Hello! at 23:25 it doesn’t appear for me Sample Texture 2D\ how to fix this?

[@GaradrielS]

Hey man. Thank you for this tutorial. I have a problem though: in sequencer, these have no effect (on Skeletal Meshes at the least), they do have an effect outside of sequencer. All variables in Macro have the following boxes checked: Instance Editable, Expose on Spawn, Expose to Cinematics. I've also create the Construction script login from BPs Event Graph, to it's Construction Script, under Event Tick. What should I do? Thanks. EDIT: My bad, i forgot to check "Run Construction Script in Sequencer" in the Class Settings. But now, I cannot add any animation to the Skeletal Mesh; I mean I can add animations but they don't have any effect and the Mesh snaps back to initial pose on each frame.

Hi man can you do two rocks coming out of the ground and closing on each other ?

[@albincbabu7151]

Hey I’m new to UE, how can i add this effect as a death effect to my Enemy Ai?

[@lewismanyenya6547]

Hey, I have an issue with the dissolve module, when i finish creating it, i don't have a texture slot in the Emitter system? How do i fix this?

[@Zero-bg2vr]

Do you have the link to the asset please/

[@alfonseraffa2308]

This was one of my first tutorials, great work here ! Is it necessary to use the Manny Material in order for the disintegration effect to work ? I tried using another skeletal mesh with its own material and it does not dissolve. Only the niagara effect fires off.

[@UnrealCG]

You need to add the materials node to your other material and control parameter

[@alfonseraffa2308]

@@UnrealCG How do you do that ?

[@UnrealAnderson]

Can I reverse the effect, so instead of the character dissappearing it makes the character appear/spawn :)

[@TheRedBullCrysis]

Hi @UnrealCG I've got to the 43:11 mark, but the skeletal Manny mesh isn't disappearing along with the alpha. Any idea why? I've gone over this part of your video several times but I can't see anything that would indicate why.

[@TheRedBullCrysis]

Actually, I've found none of the Blueprints options work in relation the Skeletal Mesh at this point (everything perfect up until this). I've tried edge colour, the actual colour and the colour stays pink (previous one I used) and the strength isn't affected. Very strange, unsure what has gone wrong. Any ideas?

[@TheRedBullCrysis]

It's almost like duplicating the macro is using all the copied values but this is just a gut feeling. Any help is appreciated.

[@GaradrielS]

@@TheRedBullCrysisFor that to work, you need to add the textures from the skeletal mesh in M_Dissolve_Main (you can add other textures such as the Normal, Specular, Metalic, etc), and set M_Dissolve_Main as the material for the Skeletal Mesh.

[@Mariyah.I]

Did you figure it out? I've the same problem..

[@Mariyah.I]

Thanks! This worked for me.. @@GaradrielS

[@lardoganthun2592]

Hi, how to recreate Blowing particle in ue4?

[@UnrealCG]

Could have it open in newer version and try recreating it in your version

[@fran.fndz.techart]

Does this work with multiple material setup?

[@UnrealCG]

Yes, the Manny model have 2 materials

[@fran.fndz.techart]

@@UnrealCGthat’s awesome!! I tried long time ago but I had to setup the effect for each material in my mesh 😢

[@flyingroads3498]

Unreal 5.3? O it can work on 5.0.3?

[@UnrealCG]

It should and it's 5.2

[@indiramontoya8630]

Hi all, I cannot make it work in the sequencer, the blueprint makes the material disappear but niagara is not working.

[@remililian8042]

same

[@remililian8042]

drag "Alpha" in user parameter to your Dissolve Module in every emitter

[@indiramontoya8630]

I made ir work. I just dragged the BP into sequencer and exported the video. When it exports, the game engine works, unlike when you just hit play on the sequencer. It only took me 12 hs to find that out 😅.
