Using MidJourney for Texture Creation:
Discusses how to use MidJourney to generate textures via AI. Viewers are encouraged to join the MidJourney Discord, where they can input prompts to create images.
Ashif demonstrates how to create a flame circle texture with MidJourney and saves the final image for use in Unreal Engine.
Material Creation in Unreal Engine:
The image is imported into Unreal Engine and converted into a material.
Ashif adjusts the material to be unlit and connects the texture, setting it up for opacity.
Adding Motion to the Texture:
Introduces a noise texture to create motion, using polar coordinates to distort the flame texture.
Adds time-based panning for dynamic movement, with control over tiling and pan speed.
Niagara Effect Setup:
The material is used in Niagara to create a particle effect.
The tutorial shows how to set the size, rotation, and randomization of particles.
Ashif adds a radial exponent to prevent texture cutting and adjusts the distortion using dynamic parameters.
Incorporates the use of a Taurus shape and vortex forces to simulate flame behavior.
Final Adjustments:
Tweaks particle size, colors, and distortion parameters to refine the look of the flame effect.
Demonstrates how the AI-generated texture adds a unique touch to the visual effect.
Ends by showing the final effect in full screen.
Conclusion:
“Thanks for watching! I hope you liked the tutorial. Keep learning and see you in the next one!”
