Creating the Material:

Let’s start by creating a material for this effect. While there are many ways to do it, I’ll be using a sprite card rather than a mesh.

1. Creating the Radial Sprite:
   • Start by adding a radial sprite.
   • Set the density to around 5 or 20, and reduce the radius to 0.4 for a sharper look.
2. Cutting the Radial:
   • Copy the radial and set its density to 5 (or adjust as necessary).
   • Use a subtract operation to cut from the original radial.
3. Adjusting the Shape:
   • Set the center position with values like 0.5 and 0.5 (default) and adjust the X position to 0 for better placement.
   • Set the radius to about 0.4 and adjust it further to get the desired shape.

---

Creating Parameters for the Material:

1. Add parameters for Radius 1 (R1), Density 1 (D1), and Center Position.
2. Adjust the parameters for better control by using Vector4 for center position and mask to get the correct vector2.
3. Adjust the values for Radius 2 (R2) and Density 2 (D2) as needed.

---

Adding Texture:

1. Use a texture (like the aura texture) to add effects:
   • Use Texture Coordinates to manipulate the texture and apply tiling.
   • Multiply the texture coordinates by Tiling X and Tiling Y.
2. Add Panning:
   • Use Panning with values like X = 1 and Y = 0 for movement.

---

Final Touches:

• Apply a Saturate node and adjust values to fine-tune the effect.
• You can use Smooth Step to create soft edges for the effect.
• You may also multiply the texture values to adjust the intensity.

---

Creating the Niagara Effect:

1. Creating a Particle System:
   • In Niagara, spawn just one particle and set it to Live Forever for continuous effect.
   • Set a size and no random rotation to maintain consistency.
   • Adjust the particle color to something like yellowish to create the glowing effect.
2. Custom Alignment:
   • Set Custom Alignment with a mesh orientation. Align the sprite on the X-axis and rotate it by 90 degrees to ensure it faces correctly.
3. Creating Layers:
   • Duplicate the system for multiple layers, adjusting radius, density, and tiling for each layer.
   • For each layer, adjust the speed and size to create a depth of effect.
   • You can use different colors like orange, red, or black for varying layers.

---

Final Adjustments:

• Tweak the tiling, density, and panning to achieve the desired visual.
• You can also adjust the minimum and maximum values for more dynamic results.

---

Additional Effects:

• Add a velocity to one of the layers, making it move along the Y-axis with a value like 20.
• Use fade-out to make particles gradually disappear over time, creating a smooth transition effect.

Conclusion:

And that’s it! You’ve now created a multi-layered, dynamic Ladyfing effect using Niagara in Unreal Engine 5.

Thanks for watching! Keep experimenting with these effects and have fun with your VFX creations!
