New Megabundle Exclusive

Niagara MCP Crash Course 5.8

A focused 12-video crash course showing you how to use AI and MCP to create and modify Niagara effects and build blueprints that would otherwise be too technical or time-consuming to build manually. Includes absolute beginner step-by-step setup to connect Codex, Claude, or other AI to your Unreal project, make your first interactive gameplay effect and connect the Bullet Hits System from Niagara Carnage to the first person shooter template through blueprints.

Requires ZERO prior blueprint knowledge.

New Megabundle Exclusive

Niagara Carnage 5.8

Niagara Carnage is built for the enthusiast that wants to push the limits of what’s possible with real-time VFX. Setup realistic car crashes (with debris & pyro), metal bending simulations, bullet hits systems, laser beams, and dynamic crowd simulations (with collisions). Control everything through sequencer and build next-gen cinematic VFX entirely inside Unreal Engine 5.8.

Here's a real-time audio-reactive (sound on 🔊) fire sim running in Unreal 5.6. Each of the small emitters is linked to a different frequency of the audio spectrum. I've been experimenting with audio-driven Niagara FX and will be sharing more soon. pic.twitter.com/RyTlGYd2ZJ

Recent Expansions:

Niagara Pyro & Liquids 5.8

Since the Niagara foam is just regular GPU particles, you can color them by speed to get a simple 'bioluminescence' effect. This is a quick bonus lesson I added to Niagara Liquids. pic.twitter.com/wKbflQPKaD

I'm testing out real-time water simulations in Unreal 5.8. Here I'm spawning about 1.3M GPU particles per second for the liquid, and ~40K/s for splash & foam. pic.twitter.com/c8PXBWI7HS

For the Jesko shot I layered 8+ Niagara emitters, spawning from different parts of the wheel. Thousands of GPU particles for snow flakes, meshes for ice chunks, and a smoke sim on top. All of it runs real-time in the viewport. pic.twitter.com/wwDpf9tEAj
