Stylized burning fireball projectile visual effect created for UEFN in Unreal Engine.
This UEFN tutorial creates a stylized fireball in Unreal Engine 5 Niagara. The core is a cracked lava sphere material with emissive glowing cracks, panning noise and heat distortion.
Trailing fire ribbons, flipbook smoke and flying spark debris follow behind, with particles aligned to the projectile’s velocity so the fireball reads clearly in fast Fortnite Creative combat.
