Introduction

  • Ashif introduces the tutorial: creating a character Aura effect in Unreal Engine 5.2 Niagara.
  • Viewers are encouraged to subscribe, hit the bell icon, and access files on Patreon.

Scene Setup

  • Ashif mentions using a pre-downloaded animation and material for the character.
  • The material is adjusted: base color darkened (set to 0.05), and a parameter is inverted for effects.
  • A new material is created using a document texture and multiplied to create a glowing ring.

Effect Creation

  • A Niagara emitter is set up to spawn particles from the character’s mesh location.
  • Settings like gravity and particle size are adjusted.
  • A custom material with noise and screen position is used, with adjustments for tiling, opacity, and distortion.
  • A “dissolve” effect is created using the noise map and dynamic parameters.

Adding Particles

  • Ashif uses radial and velocity effects to give particles random motion.
  • A secondary noise layer is added to distort the effect further.
  • Camera offset is used to give particles random movement in 3D space.
  • Multiple layers are used for a more dynamic look, with noise and color adjustments.

Final Adjustments

  • Final tweaks include adjusting the speed of particles and randomizing tiling for different effects.
  • A second layer is added with different noise for even more variation in the effect.
  • The final result is an evolving, glowing aura with dynamic distortions.
