Quality Video, hope to see more

Bro u r just a genuis
Thank you :D Im glad you found it helpful
@I hav 1 question did now how to do a animation with bot moving (walk or som thing like that) without it cutscene, that the player can still move ? Sory for this hard question :D
@@EnTrainDeCook hey sorry for the late response so for something like that you add the material to a dynamic mesh so you make a copy of the player mesh then you make the same technique as in the video but instead you use the player mesh i hope this help
@@mad-vfx thank u but i dont very understand beacause im a bigginer in ue5
@EnTrainDeCook ah I see. No worries, I will make a video about it when I have the time
Thank for this awesome effect, but not worked in ortho camera, how can fix?
Thank you im glad you found it helpful. did you watch part 2 ? i went over it there :)
hi, nice video! can you share link for that flipbook texture ?
It seems in 5.4 the "Execution Mode" for the Event handler no longer gives the option to detect collisions or even select a source :( EDIT: I found some other comments that said to turn on Persistence ID and add a "generate collision event" node and now it appears.
I got the raindrop splashes working on a flat basic material. Is there a way to make it work on a surface that already has normals? I was trying to add it to my street material that has normals but couldn't figure out how to keep its normals and have the ripples. I tried multiplying it in but didn't seem to work. Thanks for the awesome tutorial!
Hi Thank you for the kind words Yes, you should be able to add it on top of it if I'm not mistaken you can join the discord and we can help there :)
Amazing Work!
Thank you 😊
hey boss! just followed this and I'm having the same issue where I don't see the impacts in the sphere with or without any other material. Checked sizes and collisions and everything is done the way you did them here. Any ideas what could it be?
Hey so im not sure what the issue is without looking into it if you want you can join our discord and we can help you there :)
A few things that will help; don't have a white (or black) background in the leaf texture. You can see the white outline in your material. Even if the opacity mask precisely matches the leaf shape, texture filtering and mipmapping will still result in white bleeding into the leaf texture. Match the background to the color of the leaves. Also, you have a lot of ghosting because of TAA/TSR. In the material there's a flag you can enable called "Responsive AA" which reduces this. If the particle animation is slow enough, you can even disable "output velocity" which disables motion blur but eliminates ghosting. And to top it off, the textures you borrowed from also had Normals and another combined channel map. I'd copy these over and do the same thing, then instead of making your own material just use the one that was already used on the tree. That way, the leaves will look the same.
Thank you so much for the detailed feedback! I really appreciate you taking the time to point these things out.
this dosent work on ue5.3 i try and material is always transparent nothing to see no ring no nothing no matter wath i change in the variables
Hey, let me take a look at it today after work and see what changed
@@mad-vfx nice thx
@@capotavola Hmm so i looked into and it works in 5.3 and 5.4 ok can you make the impact sphere a bit bigger then and if that didn't work make the the collision none hope this help
@@mad-vfx OK strange hmm is there somthing in project or engine Settings i have to change maby? i have a similar problem with VDB not showing when hit play
Fantastic tutorial man! really helped me on my project im working on
im really glad you liked it and it helped out :)
Hey thanks for this super detailed tutorial, i do really appreciate that. Unfortunately i lost you around 38:00 when you set the World position offset nodes. I tried at least 4 or 5 times, making sure i follow exactly what you did, but i still don't see the material anymore so when i go to the viewport nothing happens like in your tutorial :( I don't know if it's depending on the fact that i'm currently using UE 5.4, but up to this point everything was fine :( Anybody else facing the same issue? I hope somebody can help me out
Thank you :) im glad you like it im not sure about 4.5 hmmm did you try to make it 2 sided ?
@@mad-vfx sorry i made a typo with the 4.5 eheh, i only meant i tried many times also changing variables, including toggling 2 sided geometry on and off, but with no success.
@@da_drood-digitalart hahaha no worries let me see then i will redo it in 5.4 and see what it looks like i will do that later tonight
@@mad-vfx wow thank you so much man, you're very kind ^^
@@da_drood-digitalart no worries :)
This is amazing, thank you!
Glad you like it!
Your impact is amazing, loving it and helping a lot! Do you happen to know how to approach a moving shield with this one though? Finding that since using absolute world position the ring effect doesn't make it through the shield since it happens on a specific location that doesn't follow the shield, any idea on how this could be fixed? Thanks for this video, much appreciated!
Hey 👋 thank you 😊 sorry for the late reply. I'm not sure I understand what you are trying because that technique should let you do it on a moving shield
The most helpful and clear smoke tutorial on RUclips. Thanks for explaining every step!
The most clear and helpful smoke tutorial on the youtube. Thanks for explaining every step!
Thank you :) im gald you found this helpful
Really enjoyed the series... thank you... food for thought in terms of how to bring together various tools and features into a coherent environmental effect. It was a challenge to follow but everything works as promised, but I am not sure how long it would take me to even come up with such an approach on my own. Brilliant.
Thank you :) hahaha yeah it took me a while to learn this i have been doing VFX in game for the last 10 years and im slowly trying to share my knowledge :D im glad you found this helpful i will try to explain things better in the future
I was looking for an effect just like this. Thank you so much for sharing. I had this one peculiar issue though: I'm using physically correct lighting in my scene, which means the sun (directional light) is using extremely high values. This is then regulated with a post process volume and its ev-values. This combination somehow ends up rendering the particles completely black. I think the exposure control is probably doing something to the particle. I can stop this by making the particle material lit instead of unlit and plugging the nodes that went into the emissive port to the basecolor instead, but now there is some unwanted interaction with my lighting. I was wondering if the material can be kept unlit and modified somehow to accomodate the post process volume and the physically correct sun? Anyway, thank you so much for sharing, I learned a lot.
hey sorry for the late replay i have been super busy did you get his working ? if not what you can do is keep it unlit in the maitreal and then just put a multiply to it at the end of the results before adding it to the emissive and increse value until you can see it or get the same resutls as me :) hope this helps
I tried your solution now, and it works perfectly! Thank you so much!
@@Jenny-ql4ze im gald it worked :)
No idea why, but on 5.3 I just get a ball around my camera with the textures rotating around it, in wrong orientation and a huge seem on one side. It looks like the storm is centralized around the player and i cannot for the life of me change it to look like the sand is running towards the player. Been stuck on this for hours Edit: Completely redid the settings then I had to rotate the sphere it was applied to get the desired effect. The Seam remains for some reason, dunno if its because of the textures im using (default ones that come with ue)
im glad you got it working :D
Pretty cool, but i don't get it. I made the same how are you with FloatCurve 20:00 , but i don't get the same result :( It didn't affect my effect at all, do you know why?
Hey sorry for the late reply i have been super busy were you able to get this working ? if not what part are you trying to do and what is it that is not working ? is it the fade in and out ?
Shit man Thank you..
No problem :)
44:27 this does not work 5.3 the new node isn't picked up in the source list
Hey So you need to add a generate Collision event on the sources in my case it was on the hanging particle 001 hope this helps
@@mad-vfx I did have the collision event on the first hanging particle, I copied it like you did to create a 002
@@judgejames830 hmmm im honestly not sure
@@judgejames830 hey ! if u get an error like "Requires persistent ID" (the message is a bit longer but anyway), you have to go to your particles properties (the first box with the "+stage" icon in it) and turn on "Requires persistent IDs". I don't know if u had this issue but i got it so I thought this would help
I can't seem to apply the ripple texture as a normal. What is the type of texture you used for the ground?
Hey, so you just need to add the normal from height node. I just used a tga texture
@@mad-vfx It worked, thanks for answering my question :)))
Thanks for this setup, exactly what I was looking for. Can I please ask, I understand why red on right, green on left and blue on top, however, why choose RGB N lights bottom, front and rear respectively? Can it be red on top, green in rear and blue at bottom? Thanks
Hey, I'm glad you like it. BTW, love your houdini videos, Oh yea, so the reason I set it up this way is because of the unreal shader it was easier to set up for me. Honestly, i would say it's a personal preference/ that was the way i learned how to do 6 point setup for games 😄 It's up to you how you set it up 😊😊
@@mad-vfx Thank you. Your video helped me out a lot. Saved a bunch of time. I am going to keep it the same way as yours. Thanks for your kind comments. :) Much appreciated.
@@resilientpicture anytime 😊
can we download textures somewhere ?
unfortunately no
the effects look great.. one problem tho.. it's very noticeable that sand effect is gliding with the player.. it would be cool if textures are rendered in world position or something..
Hey, Thank you :) im glad you like it hmm so for that you might want to increase the depth fade in the material I'm working on more game-ready FX for the future
Do you mind doing tutorial in realistic terrain workflow from Houdini to Unreal Engine as well covering the textures as well?
Hey can you expand on what you mean with realistic terrain workflow do you mean as in making an effect in a realistic environment ?
oh i found this is ruclips.net/video/u7sx6S-70FI/видео.html is this what you mean ?
for some reason im not seeing anything under source in the event handler on the omnidirectionalburst
Hey So you need to add a generate Collision event on the sources in my case it was hanging particle 001
@@mad-vfx thank you
if anyone else has the problem generate a collision event in the hanging particulates then go into the properties and enable persistent id
Havent skipped any parts yet, can this Sandstorm effect be used Localized, so it doesnt affect globally, but can be placed in areas?
so for this technique no you can't use it In a localized way part of the reason is that it is attached to the camera and the other part is that it is a mesh so using it locally will not look good. that being said you can create the dust and storm in post-process effect or a volumetric material becuase then you can use it in a Localized way. I hope this helped
This is a very good deep dive video on rain. Thank you!
Thank you. im glad you liked it 😊
I love the style of teaching. Especially because I had never worked with substance designer it was easy to follow along. I would like to learn to make a burning witch with disintegration effect if possible! Trying to make a short with that effect, if you can would be cool. Love this substance designer to unreal style contents! If you can please add math or reasoning behind why you choose that node so we know the logic as well instead of just the nodes
Thank you. I really appreciate it the kind words. I'm really glad you are enjoying the videos. I can do some experiments and see what I can come up with for disintegration 😁 I will try to keep that in mind and explain the node and logic. The problem is that sometimes, that would make the videos a bit longer, so I'm still figuring out a good balance.
@@mad-vfx I would rather watch a long form content that is well explained because not a lot of people are doing it. People are just making how to do videos without explaining why or logic behind it. You have a great voice for teaching and it was not boring at all. Also another thing I like about your video is the fact that you include those experiments as well without editing and it helps a learner to understand what could fail or go wrong! And this makes your video authentic instead of stripping all the failing portion in the video edits. Helps the learner to relate with you. I do this as an instructional designer so giving you a little background about learner mindset
@@xrlearn Thank you so much i really appreciate you taking the time to write this feeback ❤ I will do my best to explaining the why and how behind what im doing.
Fantastic tutorial, I will always be grateful to your channel
Thank you so much I'm really glad nad grateful that you are enjoying the channel
how much does this load the project as a whole, and will it be possible to apply it in the gamedev?
It shouldn't be that expensive So in a game dev environment, I would make this in a different way -For the Ripples would add them to a shader but use a vertex color to add it to the environment that would allow me to use the brush for the puddles -For the particles system that i would add my Character BP and have that spawn on the character instead and not the world -for the post-process I would make it the same but I would add an indoor and outdoor behavior in BP i hope you find this helpful
Thanks for the video, I'll try again today!
You are the reason its raining on my black parade man 🖤
Some things that were missed apologies :( -The Life time of the rain should be 0.1for min and 0.3 for max -Make sure that you are on unreal 5.3 for the view recycler to work
Great tutorial, just one problem, can't find Max World Position Offset Displacement in my material settings for some reason
Thank you 😊. What version of unreal are you using ?? Mine is 5.2
great tutorial! 5.1 and same here @@mad-vfx
Thank you :) hmm let me check why is not showing up for you guys give me some time and i will let you know
so i looked into it and it looks like 5.1 doesnt have Max World Position Offset Displacement only 5.2 and up
@@mad-vfx thanks. I tried upgrading to 5.2 now I can’t open my project 😭 I’ll work it out. Thanks. ☺️
Looks great! What is the shader on the sand wind actor? That seems to be the special ingredient to the whole setup.
Thank you :) im glad you liked it. sand shader is set up in the first part here :ruclips.net/video/m7rw_5SZSrs/видео.htmlsi=bpdVzECJdY5PUL0x is just a bucnch of textures layered on top of eachother with panning
It looks pretty nice, adjusting the view distance so far things don't appear will make it look gorgeous
Thank you im glad you like it
Loving this effect and am looking forward to a rain tutorial soon. One piece of constructive criticism, you cover a lot of basic knowledge here that would be better suited for something like a "intro to materials" video. You'll be able to churn out content a lot faster (reduced video lengths and editing times) if you stay hyper focused on the topic at hand, rather than trying to cover multiple subjects at once.
Thank you for your feedback and I'm glad you're loving the effect! I understand your point about covering basic knowledge im still trying to figure out a good balance between going into details and staying on topic i will keep that in mind for the next video :)
Pretty good content, thanks!
Thank you
Nice tutorial! Is it possible to make rain in the same way?
Thank you :) I'm glad you liked it. doing rain would be different it won't use the same technique . The next tutorial will be on how to create rain :)
I just got recommended this video by youtube and I was planning on working on sandstorm soon! Your final results looks very good. I'm excited to try it out for myself soon.

Thanks! Can you recommend some tutorial for building the material for this in Unreal?
Hey, I'm working on something for that but it will take a while
Hey ! Really loved your tutorial, im basically a newbie to UE5, more of a 3D Modeller my self but working on a cinematic project of my own, thanks for your great work ! I knew the basic stuff for UE5 i think u could try explaining a little bit more what does what (specifically in the part u are working with the Niagara System ) i mean i figured it out at the end by experimenting or logic in the engine and still understood everything u said, just doing an advice, you have a new suscriber and thank you ! Keep it up.
Hey Im really glad you liked it Thank you so much for your words and for the advice i will try my best to explain things more thoroughly in my next tutorials
I really appreciate your time and how much you have dedicated to this tutorial but it felt like you didn't explain things thoroughly enough and you would change things and click around without saying what or where. In the end, it didn't really work out for me, I managed to do exactly as you said but the particles aren't really showing up and I felt like that due to the approach of the tutorial, I wasn't able to retain much information and can not make the changes necessary to fix the issue, which is a shame because your results are really great.
Hi Thank you so much for your words and for the feedback i will try my best to explain things more thoroughly in my next tutorials. I'm still learning how to try and explain things. which part are you at i might be able to help explain it better
@@mad-vfx I think the Material set-up went over my head a little bit and then in the niagra particle system, I would say that I was able to quite understand how to change the sizes or particle fall off and various other things you added in manually, especially as the yare manually added, I feel it needs a bit more explaining. But worry not! After some playing around I managed to understand the Material set-up and I combined it with another Niagra tutorial Particle set-up I watched and the results are really great, thanks for going through the Photoshop part and explaining why and teaching the material set-up as those came very useful once I understood the values I was changing in the material!
