Hello Tech-Artists community! :waving_hand::sparkles:

Welcome to my ongoing thread dedicated to RealTimeVFX in Unreal Engine 5 Niagara! :video_game::high_voltage:

I am Ashif Ali, a Real-Time VFX artist creating breakdowns and tutorials over at CGHOW. I created this master thread to share all my latest Niagara workflows, shader tricks, and technical particle setups in one central spot for technical artists, game developers, and VFX creators. :rocket::fire:

:pushpin: What I will be posting here:

  • :small_blue_diamond: Niagara System Architecture: Custom modules, scratch pads, particle logic, and emitter setups.

  • :small_blue_diamond: VFX Shaders & Materials: Vector fields, distortion, dissolve/erosion materials, and dynamic parameters.

  • :small_blue_diamond: Game-Ready Effects: Magic spells, elemental explosions, sci-fi energy shields, portals, and beams.

  • :small_blue_diamond: Performance & Optimization: Best practices for scalable, high-performance real-time pipelines.

I’ll be updating this thread regularly as new tutorials drop. Feedback, questions on logic nodes, or suggestions for new breakdown topics are always welcome! :speech_balloon::backhand_index_pointing_down:
