From the foundation of Niagara
All kinds of FX at once!

01.
The structure of Niagara

For those who are new to Niagara, we will explain the interface and structure step by step. After learning skills such as emitters, attributes, and particle spawning, you will create your own electric FX through practice.

02.
 Lightning FX

You can also create ribbon particles that follow an event, customize them to add random values, and finally create a streak of lightning!

03.
 Texture Sample FX

Let's first look at an example of a texture sample FX, and then apply a Color value or apply a Create/Destroyer using RGB values.

04.
Skeletal Mesh FX

Let's take a look at an example of skeletal mesh FX and use the Mesh reproduction module. If you apply/control the UV Texture sample of the Skeletal Mesh Location, it's done!

Q&A 💬

Q. Can even a beginner in effects listen to it?

It is possible because we teach you the basics. However, there may be more things to learn additionally for employment.

Q. Is there anything I need to prepare before the lecture?

We recommend that you install Unreal Engine version 5.1 or higher. You don't need any other programs right away.

Q. What should I do if I get stuck during a lecture?

Please post your questions on the lecture Q&A board or email us at officefarmer@naver.com and we will respond.

📢 Things to note before taking the class

  • Practice environment
    • Operating System and Version (OS): Windows
    • Tools Used: Unreal 5.1 or later
    • PC specs: 8 cores or more CPU, 16G or more memory, GeForce 2070 or higher
  • Learning Materials
    • Included in Lesson 1 of the Unreal Engine project file.
  • Player Knowledge and Notes
    • It would be good to have basic knowledge of Unreal Engine, but it would be OK to learn briefly on the engine site.
    • It would be better to go through the entire lecture and then review and apply the details.

    (The only effect lecture that delves deep into Niagara in Korea and abroad) This lecture accurately understands the roles of particles and emitters and allows you to customize parameters and modules accordingly to learn how they interact. I don't think I've seen any other lectures in Korea or abroad that allow you to study Niagara this deeply. It's very difficult for test takers, but I recommend it to those with experience. It was a bit disappointing that there were some parts where voices overlapped or content disappeared in the middle of the lecture, but there was no major problem in following along. Please make more informative lectures, thank you. :)

      I am a beginner in Niagara. It is definitely difficult, but you can follow along. There are some parts that I don't understand even when I search for terms, but I am satisfied with the part where you go through only the necessary things with concise explanations. It was helpful!!

            The textures and materials used in the lecture should be shared so that it is easier to follow. The explanations are detailed and good for solidifying the concepts.

              Materials and textures are included, but it seems like there was a lack of explanation. I added the explanation to the lecture.
