Into to Cascade: Particle Terminology | 01 | v4.2 Tutorial Series | Unreal Engine

[@russellgreene8]

Is it just me or is Zak the best tutorial person EVER??

[@sammyman60]

agreed, he actually explains everything so you hear him once, and never forget

[@masterneme]

Yeah he is great, I'm a total Zak fan xD

[@iLAMV]

it's really his relaxed voice and attidude, which are critical properties if you want to explain something

[@temberlin]

I totally agree

[@gabrielprol5768]

I wish zak will be my teacher for everything!!

[@udderhippo]

"I want to grab this cow system" - I suspect I will never hear those words in that order ever again. Great tutorial!

[@ChristopherJones16]

Zak if you quit your day job, you can always get a job as an audio books bookreader or a narrator.

[@igornowicki29]

He could collaborate with Cryaotic: "Hey guys and welcome to Unreal Engine Tutorial".

[@sMs0niC]

just saying, opening documentation while tutorials/guides is actually a helpful thing! I like it and I'm also used to it and I believe it to be perfect practice ;) Because we will run into trouble and to see where we could look for help or find more info is always very nice! :) Thanks a lot to all you unreal engine guys, just started again with it due to your licenses model changes and it's just a huge and awesome engine!! and what you showed in your UE5 previews is ridiculous, I'd have expected something like that in ten years or more, not right now! Keep it up, you're doing it!!! Love companies like yours truly

[@MrStimpanzee]

Keep up the good work Zak! You are still the best tutorial guy in the industry! I'm really looking forward to gaining a better understanding of cascade. So much potential for powerful effects P.S. I especially enjoyed the rainbow, jumping jack Samaritan effect. I got a good laugh from it

[@folayfila]

I'm reading sam's teach your self ue4 in 24 hours and for some reason I found the particle section heavy. Thanks to you I don't feel that way anymore. Awesome tutorial.

[@wasteofspace1234]

Just want to say, if distributions do scare off some people as you say, your explanation was good enough that I had no such problems approaching and understanding them. So thanks for that :)

[@howdlej123]

Gotta say, I find Zak's explanation's a lot nicer to sit and listen to as they're very simple but accurate and don't feel rushed or boring either. Great job! (The other tutorials are also great but I just personally find Zak's a lot more comfortable to listen to xD).

[@ChuckWilsonWilsonsStudio]

I really love Zaks work!

[@nathanlarue8265]

When your company meetings are a call to go into the Arena. Dream achieved.

[@pylbetajv]

Damn, I started working on particles just this morning and was feeling a little bummed that you didn't have a video series up on them. Thanks! Hope you didn't forget to head over to the Arena at 3PM.

[@MirandaStreeter]

Whoo! Go Zack!

[@lazywhathog4877]

Very good tutorial series. Not much has change as of January 2019, (4.21.1). The knowledge in the first couple of series was great for creating my own heal effect.

[@Kieran4Mayer]

That AnimTrail Emitter is awesome

[@vyrus0139]

Thanks zak, this rundown of terms was a great place to start.

[@mathewpowers919]

When are you all going to post new tutorials? It has been nearly a year since the last one. I hope these keep coming and that we do not have to wait until Unreal 5 to see some more. These are great. Keep 'em coming! Thanks! :D

[@adamih96]

I love the blackboard program he is using.. So pretty :3

[@Rajuuken]

I really like the way it 's explained. Nice work.

[@Mongoosh]

I realy like ue4 thank you for creating it

[@hurshy6073]

This is amazing so far!

[@seangfoster1974]

I still love playing Unreal Tournamentand UT 2004. With this cutting-edge engine, I'm looking forward to creating games that rock the gaming world... games that are epic, you might say. ;) it's all made possible by the insanely low subscription fee and with the obvious hard work that went into making this engine, I think 5% royalty is a small price to ask and I have no problem with it whatsoever. To me, it feels like Triple-F Studios (us) and Epic (them) are a team.

[@dillongordon2370]

Random but thanks to little big planet I caught on to the basics for engines fairly easier with less stress then taking it in all at once.

[@Yukova]

Woo! Particles in UE4!

[@fu_films1479]

fantastic video, you are a great teacher

[@Omar.bin.khattab]

thanks so much for your time .. great tutorial

[@yonjuunininjin]

Someone should add a hint "kick up your graphic settings under Settings -> Engine Scalability Settings -> Effects -> Epic" to get the same results like in the video. My settings were on High which is the default I assume and I wondered many times why my particles looked slightly different

[@rudycampos976]

you hand writing on screen is surprisingly pretty clear lol

[@rudycampos976]

Well that makes sense haha

[@Fikriemre]

Hey Zak you are incredible teacher. i hope epic games will use as teacher all of UE videos:)

[@sparkasterstudios9872]

This video is amazing.

[@awertnexmakes6746]

yo I love dealing with particles!!!! besides, your handwriting is so pretty I want to do it like this but i'm not actually that bad i'm good but I want to advance!!!!

[@Khaliszt]

I loved this.

[@coolcookies1111]

Can I have actors emmiting other actors so they can for example have a mesh that changes its shape through out its lifetime?

[@sungerbob1786]

good old friend zak. whats up man? last time i heard your voice was the great intro to maya course with 3d buzz..

[@thetubeaccount2015]

woot woot Zak!

[@pyrotechnick420]

13:00 from this point on you could take the rest of this video, put some chill lo fi music on and create a study mix using these trippy visuals lol

[@RaPtOr9600]

still for some of us, 20€ month is expensive, but love Zaks tutorials

[@benjaminusplus1]

Today i learned that cow mesh particles can be baked.. Awesome! 16:48

I can't find why P_cloud particle system from examples are attached to origin. If I Attach particle system to actor, particles move relatively to actor when he moves. Other particle systems work fine and accelerates/moves independently from actor as they emitted.

[@GaryParkin]

Thank you for the video!! I know by this time Niagara is out but I've never worked with particles in UE, so this will be fun. Zak, were you on 3DBuzz a few years back?

[@fabianoperes2155]

Hey man, that's some GORGEOUS calligraphy! I could make a handwritten font out of it ;-)

[@jihunjang6684]

감사합니다~(Thank you!!)

[@fettesteil5282]

awesome tutorial... still in 2017 ;D

[@artcadev]

Does anyone here knows what software he is using for writ down his comments on that blackboard? Thank you!

[@DenVosReinaert]

In the content browser you can see a folder named "Candy Land", hmmm, I wonder what he has stored in there.... (am at 5:55 so I didn't finish the video YET)

[@StarForgers]

Using something like that green spray but focusing it in one main direction and having it spray in a direction away from a mesh(in a effect that would diminish over a short time, or until the heart that pumps the blood out stops) that has been in a strong contact with another mesh (skin) and having it possibly create a splash effect onto another texture permanently changing the texture until a complete reset of the game level save or another save would create a cool permanent blood texture that could appear. An Idea that I have that could be used for game (level/map) programming if possible (I'm not a programmer but I do understand this would be very difficult) would to have the positions and amount of contact (making a effect larger) in a spot radiate slightly outward and be remembered/rendered by the game not on top of a map but as a part of a map so that if you were to ever go to that part of a map again in that save within a realistic amount of time for the material in that location it would still be there. There could also be a decay/erosion effect to make that material look slightly different or start to decay faster if there was too many locations marked. There would of course be a limit to the amount of thing remembered so there would be a time limit to which how long a group of spawned effects in a area could be remembered.(To lower the amount of data that has to be remembered you could assign a whole group within a radius or time of creation only 1 set time limit/rate of decay that could be sped up based on the recent amount of similar (not permanent) information being stored since there would be a only a decent but likely(if possible) small allotted data cache )

[@StarForgers]

Trevor Thieme Would type more but time is short it is about 1:00 am here. Hope someone considers this instead of letting all of the particles just simply disappear forever within seconds. XD

[@Chrispycraft]

Trevor Thieme ill think about it :D

[@ja7857]

I hope this company understands how awesome this guy is, and if they don't, I hope he quits and works on something cool for himself.

[@eduard510]

Is it a sample of marketplace? or u do this on your own? by the way....nice video :)

[@LoveFactorySweatShop]

Tutorial series needs to be re-titled for v4.3.

[@jumpsplat120]

Why are not all particles offset to the GPU?

[@AyeDaWut]

hey Zak it looks like you got a company meeting at 3:00PM!!!

[@DrDevos]

thx buddy! explained alot to me! So can i make waterfalls using water particles for example?

[@Annatar0]

How does GPU particles detect different surface type/properties like water, lava, oil, grass, ice etc.?. I'd imagine the collision is taken care of by the depth buffer. Or does GPU particles only change the transform of the particle and the rest is done by the CPU?.

[@Roozy_Persepolis]

I have a small question, quite silly perhaps. With particle effects, can you make a group of flies hovering around a light source? Lets say you have a light bulb, an there are flies flying around it, can you do that with particles? if not, how else would someone approach it? Cheers

[@bobmarly2004]

+mrroozbehm1985 Absolutely! All you need to do is replace the standard particles with a fly. If you want to make it look even better, you can make the flies have sprite sheets, where their wings will flap. As far as getting the look of a group of flies, you would use a lot of random values for position, speed, etc. Just play around with it.

[@eXifreXi]

:D Hey, nice Tutorials. Btw, could you tell me, what software you are using for the chalkboard? Searching for it the whole day, but can't find that one. ):

[@mikecarter8880]

It is just photoshop with a background.

[@0098133]

Hello. Please, how can I create a fontain particles. I can't find any tutors.

[@allanph2416]

That animtrail was really funny

[@TorQueMoD]

These tutorials are fantastic, but you didn't show us how to do a burst particle for explosions etc. All of these particle systems are constant spawning.

[@chroumet]

What GPU are you using? Nvidia quatro K6000?

[@Blackpaw4]

Where do I find the Content Example Project for this tutorial?

[@llur8]

what the take note app you using guy?

[@UltimateQball]

where are these particles located at? Can someone respond asap!!

[@wrensey_YT]

Unity devs having to do a project in Unreal gang

[@stephenvanbellinghen687]

what happened to zak perish anyway?

[@Redfrog1011]

Somebody please help me out I have some non-moving particles that i want to Elongate, however the only thing that impacts the particles size is the X value, which sizes the particle proportionally. Please help, and thanks in advance

[@Heero5308]

guy, is there a place i can download the project in this tutorial?

[@Justin-sl3sb]

I'm surprised nobody pointed out the spelling error in the title, into to Cascade?

[@igornowicki29]

Ok I'm kinda confused, I can't find this map in my starter content. Where to look for it?

[@igornowicki29]

My bad - it's through the Learn tab in Epic Launcher :)

[@ahmedashour41]

Hello, does anyone know how to make the particle system blocks a pawn when activated???

[@SoorajIsTheMan]

Hi! I am new to Unreal Engine. I have created a smoke particle system for my project. I want the particles of the smoke to only flow/move inside an assigned mesh also which should be invisible. The motive is to give the particle system a defined path and not to move anywhere out of it. can anyone point me in the right direction?

[@ZKtheMAN]

I'm only here for the pretty lights, but hey, I might just learn something too.

[@duey2280]

Anyone know where i can find a tutorial about creating dust that gets picked up by the wind? Maybe swirl around a little. Like those dust clouds in westerns at a stand off. Thanks.

[@69Theeagle]

+Dueyington derp That is waaaay too heavy for compters ! I think so . A trick is to animate it and it is tricky to make itlook as much realistic as possible.

[@theshadinglord8166]

could u pls put an link to me,cause i tried weeks on downloading unreal engine...but they said something about my PC having an probs with it graphics card,what does mean?,how can i fix it?

[@lewisjamieson6264]

Maybe your graphics card is not powerfull enough, did you try 32 bit instead of 64?

[@theshadinglord8166]

Lewis Jamieson well my PC is 32 bits

[@acethefiredragon8525]

Can u make these nice looking particles without paying for any assets?

[@aarjov]

Is it real to make a Character hairs based on Particle Effect?

[@Rglezy]

I wish the learn section of Ue4 was as detailed as this

[@dappercrown46]

How do you get the unreal engine?

[@EduardoSecondo]

official site

[@SelLillianna]

Voldemort is reallllly trying to kill Harry, over there.

[@mikeyhenry496]

Does anybody know where I can get this map and display cases?

[@Aoredon]

+Mikey Henry Content Examples on the UE4 Marketplace from the launcher.

[@SirusStarTV]

Why Korean subtitles? WHYYY?

[@PontiacBattery]

Yeah, why no european languages? Cheaper to educate and produce in Asia?

[@Zzuko66]

TheBasti82 Why don't you just change?

[@Cristopherthekiller1]

There's a MMO called "TERA Online" made in UE4. This game was made in Korea. Coincidence? I think not.

[@gamemaster74929]

+Chris Decarvalho Actualy Tera runs on UE3

[@kingvandit8234]

+Gerydome :)

[@windflier2169]

Why can't they make the cascade system looks like blueprint system

[@jakubbbbbb]

I love those cows... no sorry, I love those ToyCows.

[@bastblobs]

Can you make a french translater pleas I love UDK and Unreal Engine 3 but in France nobody make tutorial on this software. I understand english but in video it's not easy to understand what they say. Thank you

[@andresestevez2701]

Esto lo tengo en castellano, me hubiera gustado q no lo quitarán, bien era, gg noas

[@k_cs1174]

[@AdventureTimeWithAsh]

why they didn't teach me unreal at school instead of the bullshit been taught xdddd

[@NinjaDoge]

[@Dorpiox511]

KOREAN!!!!!!!????

[@_ANGST]

what the fuck is going on and how the fuck can i do this for myself

[@starpaints3398]

+Stujid Unreal engine is one of the most complicated animated/game creator. First make sure you have it downloaded and, launched when its fully launched you will see two chains and a table. That means you are ready! Once its fully launched watch the tutorial step by step. It gets easier along the way.

[@googleinc6033]

Unreal engine is pretty easy, just watch a tutorial and rock on!

[@babkaobabkevi4886]
