In this video providing a distilled introduction to UE5 niagara in 300 seconds I go over the fundamental concepts of ue5 niagara. The topics I cover are niagara emitters, niagara modules, niagara parameters and niagara systems. After this I go over a use case with you demonstrating how to add custom user variables to niagara emitters as well as how to utilize built in niagara functions to randomize the initiailization of parameters for niagara particles.
When writing the script for this video I extensively went through epic's documentation on niagara, and I was dissapointed to see that they weren't too beginner friendly, and assumed that the person reading the documentation had some form of technical artist expertise.
In this introduction to niagara I provide a ue5 niagara tutorial, but the concepts still apply to unreal engine 4. So you could call this a ue4 niagara tutorial, as well as a ue5 niagara tutorial, but what it really is, is a clear distilled introduction to ue5 niagara for beginners.
If you have any unreal engine questions, please post them in the comments below, or join my discord, or twitch and ask away!

  • The certificate at the end got me a job at a AAA game studio. He rejected me initially but as I was walking out of the interview, he stopped me and said "hey...how fast did you learn Niagara?" I said "it only took me 300 seconds" then I showed him this certificate. When he saw it, he was blown away and hired me on the spot. Now I'm literally swimming in money because I'm so rich from my role as a Niagara VFX artist. i'm never going back to the ghetto again thanks to this video. I'm about to buy solid gold salt and pepper shakers for my kitchen.

  • I hope maybe following you i can get some of the answers i need. i made a fire aura using the experimental fluid Gas fire emitter template, however the fire doesn't trail the character when moving, it leads the character instead, maybe you know how to fix this? is it a parent parameter? do i need to reverse a value somewhere ? i also made a vortex nova off the same asset, and if i drag and drop onto a mesh, it works, if i try to call in in the 3rd person blueprint, it fails to render. HELP.

  • Hello About possibility of Niagara We can change particle inside Niagara for: - plane, sphere and so on. Why there is no possibility to set a simple light sourse as a niagara particle? I don't kno how or it will be in future? 1. May be to make some lifehack and to attach simple light sourse to niagara's particle using blueprint? 2. May be somebody can easily realize it in C++? 3. May be attach light sourse to nia' particle for lifespan and detatch later? What do you seriuosly think? Realizing this idea will help to create real flame illumination -wow!!!!
