Creating the Eyes Hit Effect in Unreal Engine | VFX Tutorial

Hello everyone! I’m Asif Ali, and welcome to my channel. In today’s tutorial, we’ll be creating this Eyes Hit Effect, where a girl hits a zombie, transforming it into eyes and making it melt as the eyes fall down. Let’s dive into how I achieved this effect step by step.

---

Effect Breakdown:

1. Inspiration and Concept:
   • The effect starts with a girl hitting a zombie, which then transforms into eyes. After that, the zombie melts, and the eyes fall to the ground. This creates a striking visual of transformation and decay.
2. Particle Systems Overview:
   • I used several particle systems to achieve the various stages of the effect:
     • Hand Particle System: The hand particles are connected to the girl’s hand and are triggered when she hits the zombie.
     • Eyes Effect: The zombie transforms into eyes, which melt and drip down.
     • Shooting Particles: These represent the girl shooting at the zombie, creating sparks upon impact.
     • Smoke and Dripping Particles: As the zombie melts, smoke and dripping particles appear to emphasize the decay.

---

Detailed Breakdown:

1. Hand Particles:
   • The hand particle system is attached to the girl’s hand.
   • Emitter Settings:
     • Sparks are created with a spawn rate of 300 and a very low velocity on the Z-axis.
     • I used Curl Noise for random movement of the sparks, making them appear more natural.
     • The particles interact with the ground, thanks to collision settings.
2. Shooting Particles:
   • The shooting particles represent the sparks as the girl hits the zombie.
   • Emitter Settings:
     • The particles spawn in a rectangular shape using a custom box location.
     • I applied a dynamic parameter to control the eroding effect, which makes the sparks disappear as they hit the target.
3. Eyes Effect:
   • The zombie starts with a normal texture and then transforms into a zombie with ice textures.
   • Transition Effect:
     • The transformation is controlled through a dynamic parameter, gradually eroding the zombie mesh into the eyes.
     • The opacity and material properties change using noise and world position offset, creating a melting effect on the zombie’s eyes.
4. Smoke and Dripping Particles:
   • Smoke Effect: I used a default smoke material with sub UV animation.
   • Dripping Effect: I added dripping particles falling from the melting zombie, with a delayed spawn to emphasize the decay.
5. Collision and Lighting:
   • Particles are set to collide with the ground and other surfaces, creating a realistic effect.
   • Lights are applied to the particles, adding a glow as they hit the ground or the character.

Customization Tips:

You can customize this effect by:

• Adjusting the particle size and spawn rate to control the intensity of the sparks.
• Changing the color transitions of the sparks or smoke for different themes.
• Modifying the material properties of the eyes effect to create variations in the zombie’s transformation.

Final Thoughts:

This Eyes Hit Effect is a great example of how to combine multiple particle systems and materials to create a dynamic and visually striking VFX sequence in Unreal Engine. I hope this tutorial helps you create something awesome for your own projects.
