This shield aura was originally created years ago and has now been cleaned up and optimized for Unreal Engine 5 Niagara. The video shows it in real-time gameplay and walks through its exposed user parameters.
Scale fits it to any character or object, saturation moves it from black-and-white to vivid stylized color, rotation speed ranges from subtle to fast energy flow, and hue shift changes the whole palette to match an element or gameplay state.
