Procedural Shine Effect in Unreal Engine Niagara VFX

Hi guys! I’m Asif Ali, and you’re watching CGHOW. In this tutorial, I demonstrate how to create a procedural shine effect for an armor. The shine dynamically animates across the surface when the armor rotates, adding an eye-catching visual feature. This is a unique and challenging technique that I explored for the first time in this video.

Tutorial Overview:

  1. Introduction and Inspiration:
    • The effect is inspired by a Blender render, and we aim to replicate the shine animation on armor rotation, not camera movement.
  2. Modeling the Armor:
    • Created a simple armor mesh in Maya (you can use any 3D modeling software).
    • Exported and imported the model into Unreal Engine.
  3. Material Setup:
    • Created a material for the shine effect using texture maps.
    • Adjusted properties like depth to ensure proper visibility.
  4. Niagara Effect Setup:
    • Added a Niagara particle system with two emitters: one for the armor and another for the shine effect.
    • Configured particle sizes, materials, and rotations to match the desired outcome.
  5. Shine Animation Logic:
    • Used scratchpad inputs to link the armor’s rotation with the shine animation.
    • Implemented logic to animate the shine based on position and rotation along the Z-axis.
  6. Finalizing the Effect:
    • Added post-process elements like fog, directional light, and a metallic material to enhance the visual quality.
    • Introduced dynamic sprite rotation for an additional layer of motion.

Key Points:

  • Procedural Logic: Scratchpad inputs were used to create the shine effect dynamically.
  • Material Adjustments: Ensured depth settings were tweaked to keep the shine visible regardless of mesh position.
  • Customization: Values like size, brightness, and curves were fine-tuned for the desired output.
  • Challenges Overcome: Debugging rotation logic and clamping values for consistent animation.
