  • Custom Anim Notifiers for FXs

    Custom Anim Notifiers for FXs

    in ,

    Introduction In this article, I will be mainly focusing on Anim Notifiers in the context of spawning FXs; you can probably apply the same concepts to other needs too. I decided to make it because I couldn’t find any information about this process anywhere online. I really hope it ends up being useful for someone!The…

  • Omni Debug Texture

    Omni Debug Texture

    in ,

    Multi Purpose I’ve tried to make a debug texture that can be useful in multiple situations, a “one fits all” option, multipurpose.I decided to call it Omni, which in Latin means “all” or “everywhere”. I chose this word to encapsulate that it’s flexible and can be used in different situations and purposes.I created two different…

    Visualize Audio FX and Sample Submixes in Niagara

    in ,

    Introduction In this post I will cover some techniques I found useful when developing Niagara FX that reacts to audio, I made one that you can check out here: Equalizer FX – Niagara UE5 This post will cover a more simple setup, showing how you can create a basic Visualize Audio FX that can be…

    Volumetric Clouds A Clouds Material exploration I worked on when UE4.26 was released with the new Volumetric Cloud component, which is able to interact with Sky Atmosphere, Sky Light, and directional light. The Material is divided into two main layers, one is using a volumetric texture to define the main shapes and details of the…

    Equalizer

    in , ,

    Audio FX Fun personal project, a “classic look” equalizer done in Unreal Engine using Niagara. The FX is made out of 3 emitters, one for the main reaction elements, one for the cubes at the top of each column, and a “background” one that connects the two.Particle meshes are spawned in a gird and scaled…

    2D SDF – Advanced Shapes

    in ,

    Material Function Library UE5 The last piece of my 2D SDF library.All of the advanced shapes you can see in this post are coming from Indigo’s Article (+ShaderToy), please check it out:2D distance functions I’ve only recreated them in Unreal’s Material Graph using nodes, it was a lot of fun and a great way to…

  • 2D SDF – Gradient/Flowmap and AA technique – Material Function Library

    2D SDF – Gradient/Flowmap and AA technique – Material Function Library

    in ,

    Introduction In this post, I’ll show you how you can create a gradient from a 2D SDF and how it can be used as a flowmap in the material to warp a texture or in Niagara to drive the location of particles! I’ve also added a bonus section about Anti Aliasing, something that I haven’t covered before.If you haven’t seen…

    2D SDF – Manipulate Space – Material Function Library

    in ,

    Introduction This is the third part of a series of posts about 2D SDF, check out the first one where I show some simple shapes and explain the basics to visualize them, and the second one where I show different ways to combine them!I think it’s very useful and valuable knowledge for every Technical or Environment Artist, but really for anyone that…
