Is there a way to control where I want the fire to be created? I'm using it on sword and It works, but handle is on fire as well. and another error is that I can't see it in simulation and render
Everything works perfectly, until I move my character off X0, Y0, Z0. Even after I move the Niagara fire to the same coordinates as the character, they will not match up any longer. Any help?
Hi, thanks for the tutorial!. It would be interesting and quite helpful to see these effects already exported and seeing a resource consumption test, since as a newbie I have no idea
@RedefineFX Thanks for the nice tutorial, however it seems to be not working in the viewport when the NS is added as child of mesh via character blueprint. I have already enabled plugins niagara fluid, cache, etc. Set the NS to auto activate in blueprint, it shows there within the blueprint but not in viewport. Any help would be great. Thanks again.
Hey bud. I love your tutorials they're so straight forward and clear but I have problems with this one. Everything looks fine in the editor window but will not appear on the map, even if I start the game no niagra appears. Other niagra effects pop up straight away so it's something within this blueprint. I've triple checked everything. I'm dumbfounded. Any advice. Greatly appreciated. Also I signed up to your course 🎉
Hi man! Have you solve that issue? same shit, trying to combine flamethrower with burning man, thrower is working well, but burning man dont want to burn at all in the level and sqcer...
@@ThinkingUkranian hey dude. Nope! It works until you add the reproduction sprite on the character. After that nothing shows up in the sequencer or anywhere. Shows up in the viewport while making the effects fine though.
is there a way to apply the effect onto the main skeleton meshes of a meta human? i can get it to work but for only 1 skeleton mesh and now I am really confused. in the metahuman theres quite a few meshes but i am only worried about 3, face, body, feet. I can get it to work as I want on 1 mesh but the moment I start adding more, it doesnt do what I am wanting it to do. again, thank you so sos much for the video and it really really means alot you did this video so thank you. would not be here without so thanks again.
Is there really no way to get shadows going with this? Really cool tutoria, but the feature in UE is pretty useless for VFX if you cant have any kind of shadows.
@@RedefineFX I tried it and it works on the skeleton but i can't figure out a way to make the particles appear on the metahuman's face or their clothing.
Thanks for another great tute. I am using Iclone 8 to import characters, and this works fine as long as the character stays at the origin point. Is there a way to get the flames to move with the character in sync past the origin point?
Good, I have a question and it is the following, when I zoom out the camera the niagara disappears...there is like a rendering distance that I do not know where it is to disable it. does anyone know?
is there a way to get something like this on static meshes ? like i have a metor in my scene ( animated in sequencer location and rotation ) and i want fire on the meteor and a smoke trail..is this possible ?
Have you figured out how to do this on a static mesh yet? It's exactly what I'm trying to do now. Most tutorials only show how to set it up on a skeletal mesh. That doesn't really help if you have a static mesh already animated in your scene that you simply want to attach your particle system to.
So i can get this to work in the Blue print by adding Niagara to my Mesh in there, i can even get it working in the Niagara system view, however when i import the Blueprint with the Niagara System it doesn't show the flames. even when i just try and drop the Niagara System into the map it doesn't show.
find a similar shaped 3d model to person overlay on person after traxking them place effects tracking/using the fbx to scatter points hide the fbx, I think theyd render it transparent and then composite elsewhere
god I wish I could figure out how to do this to a third person character.. could you help us figure that out? Also, when I go back to the scene and drop the character Fire into the scene, the fire is not lit at all, also not there when I press play
Did you check if the local space in turned off in the SourceEmitter and in the Master_Emitter as well? I had the same problem, that is sometimes worked after I turned it off and sometime it didn't, but I can't tell why.. Also make sure everything is compiled. Let me know if you figured out what the problem was! @@hugomrt6082
Is it safe to assume that this is 5.3 specific? tried to emulate on current project which is on 5.2 and was fine until I connected the Niagara system to the skeletal mesh. it attached, I clicked none. and it just refuses to render in the scene. cannot for the life of me figure out why, also, as daft as it sounds, the positioning of the FX keeps moving. if I put it to the exact same as the actor, it doesn't remain. even though its attached?
I'm in 5.3 and I have no option for sockets to set to "none" when I drag it on top of my char. I only have that option in the character blueprint, but still doesn't work

Where did u get the niagara templates?
you need to activate niagara fluid in plugin project setting

this was really well done
Question how to have better resolution for smoke/fire in render?
Really great tutorial!!

Having the same issue.
@@Kenb3d1 Yeah, I'm still trying to find a fix for it. If you find an answer, I would appreciate it if you would leave a comment here.
Did you have any succes with moving the object from the world origin?@@borrowedtruths6955
Set your particle system to local space so that when you move the actor in the scene the particle system will use the local transform
@@count_0_1 Thank You.

2:24 - And now you can see our character is on fire -
🤣 sure can

I've got the same problem. Did you find a solution?
@@guerrerourbano7 Same problem here, did you guys get it to work?
not working
is this realy for a game? or only cinematics? i get so extrem slowmotion with this fluids
Thanks ! But how can i to move the character ? Because when i displace it in other coords, the simulation doesn't work :/
Great video. Thanks.

The shadows will currently only show up when you render it out with path tracer
@@RedefineFX thanks. Yea just to clarify, your Tut is great, but it find it really weird of epic to release such a half baked feature?
Great tutorial. one question, How would this work on a metahuman?
Haven’t tried

@@kickheavy8982 sadly no :/
so cool!
we need something like this in embergen
Easily doable in embergen. You want a tutorial for this exact thing in EG?
@@RedefineFX If you can find the time to make an embergen tutorial it would be a huge help.
@@RedefineFX yes, if you can then it would be very helpful🙌🏽
any chance you cover on how to do liquids using the new niagara fluids? I'd be really interested in that.
I’m covering that in my new course launching tomorrow
@@RedefineFX oh man! I’m excited for that!

Omgosh i been looking for this. Does this work on a green screen video subject? If so what changes do i need to make.
find a similar shaped 3d model to person overlay on person after traxking them place effects tracking/using the fbx to scatter points hide the fbx, I think theyd render it transparent and then composite elsewhere
Niagara Templates Missing , how can i fix it ?
install the niagara fluids plugin also to see the templates.
That is great
noted
Ultra Dynamic Sky / Weather - in Unreal Marketplace... done.
@RedefineFX Thanks for the nice tutorial, it is not working
god I wish I could figure out how to do this to a third person character.. could you help us figure that out? Also, when I go back to the scene and drop the character Fire into the scene, the fire is not lit at all, also not there when I press play
emitting from a walking 3rd person character is covered inside my course
@RedefineFX oh wow! The free one? That's spectacular! Thanks man, I joined the fb group too, love your work
would this technique work with any object instead of a mocap MM?
It should yes
Couldnt save your vid to my watch later or favourites, any reason as to why that is?
I can’t upload anything to twitter. Nothing is working today.
its posible to hide the mesh and only keep the niagara animation?
Yes just uncheck Visible in render in the character settings
I don't want my Character to be on 0/0/0 coordinates.. how is it possible to change the location?
That requires a different setup entirely and is covered in my Niagara immersion course
Amazing news!@@RedefineFX I made it work with this setup by turning of local space in the emitter settings
@@flathmann hey men, I turn on the local space butttttt still doesn't work for me ? do you have a solution ?
Did you check if the local space in turned off in the SourceEmitter and in the Master_Emitter as well?
I had the same problem, that is sometimes worked after I turned it off and sometime it didn't, but I can't tell why.. Also make sure everything is compiled.
Let me know if you figured out what the problem was!

Heard loud and clear 🫡
im running on 5.31 everything is visible in scene until i attach skeletal mesh ;/
the same happens to me
maybe try again, its working for me in latest version
I have the same problem
Very good, I guess any mesh can be used as an emitter.🙃
but how with the third person model, it spawns in, isnt just in the scene.. is that possible? It must be
So anybody run into "compiler errors" with Niagara systems. the Plugin is enabled and mesh distance fields is on.
You find a solve for this? Started playing around with 5.3.2 update and getting compile issues.
Is it safe to assume that this is 5.3 specific? tried to emulate on current project which is on 5.2 and was fine until I connected the Niagara system to the skeletal mesh. it attached, I clicked none. and it just refuses to render in the scene. cannot for the life of me figure out why, also, as daft as it sounds, the positioning of the FX keeps moving. if I put it to the exact same as the actor, it doesn't remain. even though its attached?
