Video Introduction:

• Host Introduction: “Hi guys, I’m Ashif Ali, and welcome to CGHOW. In this tutorial, I will show you how to create stylized dust effects in Unreal Engine 5.2 using Niagara.”
• File Availability: “You can find this file on my Patreon.”

Tutorial Overview:

• Set Up: The scene includes an animated character (from a marketplace like Mixamo) and a stylized background. The goal is to add stylized dust that interacts with the character’s movement.

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Creating the Material:
   • You start by creating a radial fade material for the dust effect.
   • Apply a noise texture and use the SmoothStep function to adjust the sharpness and fading of the dust.
   • The material uses dynamic parameters to control sharpness and fading, with controls for the noise texture and tiling to randomize the pattern.
2. Creating the Niagara Effect:
   • Create a new Niagara effect and apply the material to the particles.
   • Use the character’s skeleton to attach the dust effect to the character’s leg (left or right) during the animation.
   • Adjust gravity, size, velocity, and other parameters to fit the animation.
3. Fine-Tuning the Effect:
   • Randomize particle size, color, and tiling to add variety and make the dust feel more natural.
   • Use a Life Cycle setting to stop particle spawning when the character stops moving.
   • Customize the panning and rotation for more randomness.
4. Adding More Dust Effects:
   • Duplicate the particle system to add additional dust for other body parts, such as the knee or foot.
   • Adjust colors, size, and gravity for the new dust systems to match the original effect.
5. Step Dust Effect:
   • Create a step dust effect by duplicating the existing dust particle system.
   • Adjust velocity, particle shape, and life to create dust that appears when the character moves.
   • Use Point Velocity for the movement direction and adjust the size for each step.
6. Fine-Tuning:
   • Adjust the size and shape of the particles for better visibility.
   • Ensure that the particles behave naturally and fade over time to enhance the stylized look.

Ending:

• Final Check: Ensure the dust effect looks realistic and reacts properly with the character’s movements.
• Closing Statement: “Thanks for watching, keep learning, and bye bye!”
