Dynamic falling autumn and summer leaves visual effect created for UEFN in Unreal Engine.
Drifting leaves add life to autumn scenes and forest floors. This UEFN tutorial sets up a low-cost leaf mesh with randomized rotation and scale, then uses Niagara wind forces and turbulent noise so the leaves drift naturally.
Spawn rate, gravity, air resistance and randomized physics are tuned for a believable fall, and the loop is optimized to stay lightweight in Fortnite Creative maps.
