Video Title: Pixelated Fire Effect in Unreal Engine 5.2 | CGHOW Tutorial

Introduction: Hi guys, I’m Ashif Ali and welcome to this video! Today, I’ll be showing you how to create a pixelated fire effect using Unreal Engine 5.2. Let’s dive right in!

Tutorial Outline:

  1. Setting Up the Material:
    • Start by creating a new material for the effect.
    • Use the “Alpha” for masking and apply a Multiply function to adjust the brightness (0.5).
    • Save and create the material.
  2. Creating the Particle Effect:
    • Import the material and set it up in the particle system (choose one particle emitter).
    • Set it to spawn once and have a constant size.
    • Adjust the background appearance and make any necessary changes to preview settings.
  3. Creating the Pixelated Fire Effect:
    • Add a noise texture and apply radial functions for pixelation.
    • Use a dynamic parameter to control the pixel density.
    • Set up the colors for the fire: start with orange, transitioning to red and black as it fades.
  4. Adding Smoke and Fire Movement:
    • Use a fountain emitter to control the flow and direction of the fire particles.
    • Modify gravity and velocity settings to make the particles rise.
    • Adjust particle size and alignment to match the sword (custom facing vector).
  5. Fine-Tuning the Material and Effect:
    • Create additional “smoke” particles using a flat material.
    • Set the size and spawn rate of the smoke, adjusting color and randomization.
    • Use randomized gravity and velocity to add a dynamic feel to the particles.
  6. Final Adjustments:
    • Align the particles with the sword and adjust the camera settings for better effect visualization.
    • Refine the color curves and particle behavior for more realism.

Conclusion: That’s it! We’ve successfully created a pixelated fire effect for your game assets. I hope you found this tutorial helpful.
