Shape Location Update with Curves in Unreal Engine Niagara Tutorial

Description:
In this video, I answer a question from the Unreal Engine forum about animating shape location and radius updates using curves in Niagara. The user was struggling with using a curve to change the radius of a sphere, and I show the small adjustment needed to make it work. I explain how to correctly set up particle properties, like size and position, using curves and the emitter levels in Niagara.


Key Points:

  • Understanding the different levels in a Niagara emitter (Spawn, Update, Render).
  • How to use a curve for animating properties in the Update stage.
  • Fixing the issue where the curve wasn’t working by using the “Age” property.
  • Demonstration of animating a shape’s radius with curves.
  • Example using a Taurus shape to animate radius and position of particles.
  • Using offset and curve for animating positions, like moving along the Y-axis.
  • How to adjust particle size and movement using curves in the “Spawn” stage.
