Why take this course?

Welcome to your unreal engine 5 one course solution for Niagara VFX, in this course ,you are gonna learn how to create different types of VFX like Portal FX, Rain FX, Projectile FX, Energy Strike, character disintegration, and much much more. And we’ll start from scratch.


In the first section, you are going to learn all the basic stuff that you need to know about Niagara for creating different VFX by creating dandelion FX and flame thrower. We are first going to cover the different emitter stages inside of Niagara, then start using the sprite renderer to help us to get more familiar with different Niagara modules.


With all the knowledge and skills we have, in the second section, we are going to create different types of VFX like portal FX, hit impact FX, butterfly FX, meteor attack, laser attack, energy strike, and projectile FX like blade slash and flying sword. We’ll begin with the portal FX and start modifying our master materials created in the last section to support more VFX features. Then, we’ll use blueprint to create a VFX spawner and use it to spawn this hit impact surface and hit impact body FX. After that, we’ll discuss the 3 most important states a VFX must have in order for it to be complete by creating this meteor attack. After that, we’ll go into blender and create a projectile mesh for our Niagara and use blueprint to help us spawn blade slash and flying sword.


In the third section, you’ll learn how to create follow the leader FX, rain FX, waterfall FX, different dissolving effect for texture, static mesh and skeletal mesh. We’ll start with all the basic concepts that you must know for creating a custom Niagara module, then with the knowledge on Niagara parameter, namespaces, we’ll create this follow the leader FX. Then with a little bit of vector math and some calculation in our own custom modules, we’re going to create a more advanced version of it. Then, with all we’ve learned, we’ll look into how to create rain FX, waterfall FX and dissolving FX for texture, static mesh and combine them with distance field to help us create dynamic character disintegration.


This is going to be the most comprehensive Niagara VFX course that you'll ever find online, and after finishing it, you should be able to create any type of VFX that you like on your own.

Highly recommend this course even if you are an absolute 0 in VFX (like I was) and want to elevate your tech skills and knowledge about Niagara. Vince explains everything in details, it is clear and well-paced. I found this course very helpful and I'm looking forward to the art pieces I'm going to create in the future . Who knows, maybe this is a beginning of an exciting career path change towards VFX!

Excellent tutorial from start to finish. My primary focus is programming and 3d modeling - so having this course was a huge gain to learn about Niagara. Something to consider is that Niagara is a skill in itself and this tutorial does a great job in really breaking things down in a way that is relatable to Unreal Engine users. I 100% recommend this tutorial for anybody who wants to really learn, relearn or brush up on Niagara for Unreal Engine 5.

I´m just about halfway into the course and already feel like I am learning so much. The lessons are comprehensive and well structured. The lectures get me constantly inspired to try out different approaches. Glad I bought this course. I appreciate how active the Discord is, helps a lot with problems!

This class is awesome, really learning fast and step by step, easy to follow and the repetition of tasks makes remembering very efficient! Big thanks!

Excellent course, even for me as an advanced user. I've been using UE4 for 4 years, but have been "stuck" in UE4.22 for some time, so I've missed UE5 when it came out. Now, to catch up, this course was exactly what I needed to understand Niagara, its basics and even some more advanced techniques. Thanks!

I was not inexperienced with Niagara when I decided to start this course, even so it was good to cover everything from the fundamentals on up, and served as a good springboard for practice. The blueprint integration and making custom modules were really valuable to me, since it's hard to interact with those systems if you don't know what to look for. Over all I think the information is presented in a really clear manner with a good structure, and I enjoyed my time working through it!

Really great course, I learned a ton, my only issue is material functions aren't introduced until the very end, so you end up with a lot of duplicate code in the library you've created. Definitely worth it though!

Great course, a very detailed look at Niagara, you go beyond clicking on X, Y, rather you actually learn WHY you are clicking on X, Y etc... which is huge. With how "unfriendly" Niagara can be, this course really guides you to understand how Niagara works, how user friendly it actually is. Heck even the meshes and code for blueprints is included if you don't feel like making the meshes and code yourself. Of note materials and blueprints could be it's own course (and there is good course on materials by the same creator) so the blueprints and materials section do feel a bit rushed. I would primarily look at this course as a way to learn Niagara (and of that it does fantastically well) and not as a course to learn Materials and blueprint (for VFX), please look elsewhere if you want a detailed understanding of how materials and blue prints for VFX work in UE5. I hope the author creates a part 2 VFX course in the future.
