Video Title: Stylized Projectile Effect in UE 5.1 Niagara
Host Introduction:

• Hi guys, I’m Ashif Ali and you’re watching CGHOW. Today, we’re going to recreate a stylized projectile effect in Unreal Engine 5.1 Niagara.

---

1. Material Creation (Stylized Effect):

• Master Material Setup:
  • Start by creating a master material and an instance material.
  • Use a texture and manipulate it to create a pixelated look or layered effect.
• Pixelating the Texture:
  • Multiply texture coordinates and apply a floor operation, which will round out the values and make the texture appear pixelated.
  • Adjust the tiling and panning to get a more dynamic look.
• Opacity Mask:
  • Create an opacity mask to cut out the texture into layers.
  • Use a gradient to control the transition between these layers.
• Adding Colors:
  • Blend three different colors (e.g., yellow, orange, red) to create a stylized effect.
  • Control the intensity of the gradient using a power parameter.
• Instance Material:
  • Create an instance of the material and tweak parameters like tiling, opacity, and color blending to fine-tune the appearance.

2. Setting up the Particle System in Niagara:

• Emitter Creation:
  • Create a new emitter and use a sphere mesh to emit particles.
  • Set the particle spawn rate to 10 and make the particles loop forever.
• Particle Movement and Rotation:
  • Use the execution index to randomize the position of each particle.
  • Set random rotation along the Z-axis for a more dynamic, natural look.
• Scaling the Particles:
  • Apply a non-uniform scaling to the particles, modifying the Z-axis over time with a curve.
  • Offset the particles so they move away from the center of the sphere.
• Additional Customization:
  • Add curves to adjust the size and appearance of the particles, making them more stylized or conical.

3. Final Tweaks and Glow:

• Glow Effect:
  • Add a glow effect to the particles to make them stand out.
  • Use a secondary emitter for the glow and adjust its size and alpha value.
  • Tweak the particle life and alpha to control the fading and appearance of the glow.
• Adjustments:
  • Fine-tune the particle movement, scaling, and glow to match your desired aesthetic.
  • Make sure the glow and color are aligned for a seamless visual.

Conclusion:

• This stylized projectile effect uses pixelation, layered textures, and dynamic particle behavior to create an engaging and visually appealing effect in Unreal Engine 5.1 Niagara.
• The project files will be available on Patreon, allowing you to check out the full setup and customize it for your own needs.
