In this tutorial you will learn how to create Speed FX in unreal engine. you will learn every step for this effect texture, materials, mesh and emitters.
Description:
In this tutorial, I show how to create a “speed effect” for a running character. The effect involves glowing eyes, glowing hands, sparks, smoke, and dynamic particle effects that follow the movement of the character’s legs.
Breakdown:
- Character Setup:
- Glowing eyes and hands created with materials using masks and dynamic parameters for glow effects.
- Hand Effects:
- Particles emitted from hands using GPU sprites for random movement with a velocity vector field.
- Flash effects using mesh and lighting.
- Foot Effects:
- Particles stretching and moving based on the character’s motion.
- Inherited velocity from the character’s legs for sparks and smoke.
- Circular shapes created with noise texture for extra visual flair.
- Final Result:
- Dynamic particle effects that follow the character’s movement, including light-emitting sparks, smoke, and circular distortions behind the feet.
Tips for Customization:
- Add more elements like trails or hair effects to enhance the look.
- Adjust velocity and light intensity to match the character’s speed.
- Experiment with textures for different styles (e.g., adding glowing trails or additional smoke effects).
