Unreal Engine Speed FX Tutorial

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:

1. Character Setup:
   • Glowing eyes and hands created with materials using masks and dynamic parameters for glow effects.
2. Hand Effects:
   • Particles emitted from hands using GPU sprites for random movement with a velocity vector field.
   • Flash effects using mesh and lighting.
3. 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.
4. 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).
