IlluGen and Niagara: Unreal Engine 5 - Fire Anomaly VFX
YouTube video by JangaFX VFX Software & Tutorials IlluGen and Niagara: Unreal Engine 5 - Fire Anomaly VFX

I created a fire anomaly with IlluGen, EmberGen, and UE5 last week and did a great breakdown of how it was done. We're trying my best to make IlluGen amazing for real-time VFX artists!

Hahaha, excessivity runs into every Vfx artist’s veins, we can’t avoid it. 😂

If their scale are small and if there’s not a lot of overdraw between them, I’m fairly sure it’s actually relatively cheap! :) (I mention “Fairly” because I never profiled a system with and without for comparison. I’m sure it can be used in gameplay as well if mindful! ^^ )

First tutorial video OUT!

An Introduction to the concept of Niagara, it's particles and it's systems! 🤩

I hope you'll enjoy it! ✨

(I still struggle at making video on Youtube, so I'm currently only doing those in French, my primary language. At some point I might try to do it in English too!)

Distort textures by simply lerping between texture coordinates and a checkerboard texture with randomized R and G values for a tiling effect. To add chromatic aberration, simply shift the G channel’s UVs using a sine wave #gamedev #VFX #UnrealEngine #realtimeVFX

Super clean, nice work! 😁
Have you tried adding a light on both of them? Not necessary, but I suspect it could improve the connection between the Vfx and the world. :)

Here's another thing we can do with 1 sphere around the camera and a depth based material!

Scans! ✨

And here's the idea of the Shader:

2 depth ramps: 1 forward and 1 backward.
The "location" of the ramp gets offsetted and both sides can be edited separatly. (Gonna need to fix that emissive issue eventually. x) )

Hey! :)

I wanted to experiment more with Depthfade for a while now and here's the first results.

It's only 1 plane. The only texture noise used is a basic Perlin noise. (It's used 2 times: One for the Uv disto and one for the visual.)

My first post on Bsky! ✨

I got inspired and wanted to recreate a VFX made by

but after a couple of "What if I would just add this... and that...":

Eternal Strands on Steam Fight epic, towering creatures while blending magical abilities with an arsenal of powerful weapons to keep the world from crumbling in this third-person, action-adventure game.

Am I reposting people enjoying Eternal Strands? Why yes, I am. I'm glad people are having fun with it, and we're taking note of feedback and so on for patches.

Also, sitting at Very Positive on Steam makes me happy. I think it's a pretty neat game for ~$40.

Austin recommends: Eternal Strands (Review)
YouTube video by Skill Up Austin recommends: Eternal Strands (Review)

I'm loving this review (Recommends!) from Skill Up. Great footage, offers a ton of context, and has great critiques.

There's one factual error I noted, but that's not a fault. Some things are...subtle. I'm going to let people discover what on their own terms. :D

Eternal Strands (Original Soundtrack Album) Austin Wintory · Album · 2025 · 24 songs

The Eternal Strands Soundtrack, composed by the wonderful Austin Wintory, is also on Spotify. I'm biased, of course, but I think it's really neat. open.spotify.com/album/6nij8O...

If you’re trying out the Eternal Strands “demo,” here’s a few things to note in a tiny thread.

1) It’s the opening of the game, so the tutorials and setting building are pretty heavy, but your progress saves and carries over if you pick up the full game.
