You can now run real-time water simulations at this level of quality directly inside Unreal Engine 5.5 with the built-in Niagara Fluids. Learn my entire workflow for detailed water sims - link is below.

Figuring out metal bending sims in Unreal for some destruction VFX shots I'm planning

Unreal 5.6 Motion tools let you send shockwaves through the environment in the style of Quantum Break, all procedural &amp; no sim. In real-time and now officially supported for packaged game projects. We set this up inside Unreal Motion 5.6, link is below.

I'm working on real-time car crash simulations in Unreal for a new project. Here's the first version. All Niagara &amp; Chaos Physics.

Today I built this real-time 3D scanner in Unreal to show how smart cars understand their surroundings.

Make this force field VFX simulation in Unreal 5.7 using only Niagara &amp; learn my advanced tips for detailed sims. Get the full free course here:

Unreal 5.6 Motion tools now let you destroy &amp; re-assemble the environment with your in-game character. Official gameplay support allows for innovative mechanics &amp; real-time VFX. Learn it inside Unreal Motion 5.6. Last chance - enrollment in all courses closes tomorrow 7/1.

Real-time wood destruction sim made with Chaos &amp; Niagara in Unreal Engine. Full process tutorial is included in Chaos Destruction. Enrollment closes in 2 days - link is below.

You can simulate custom blood splatters in real-time with Niagara Fluids - these can be 3D or made into flipbooks directly inside Unreal. I'm adding this to Niagara Motion soon.

Volumetric dust simulation with Niagara fluids, in real-time. No VBD imports. 🟢Few hours left: Niagara Automotive launch week ends soon:

Unreal 5.6 brings official in-game support for the motion design tools, which can now also be controlled with blueprints &amp; packaged.

Real-time wood destruction sim made with Chaos &amp; Niagara in UE 5.3

This real-time volumetric portal is my most popular Unreal Engine tutorial and a great intro to Niagara for beginners. Learn to make this in 10 mins. Link in🧵

Niagara fluids smoke driving the movement of the sand particles in real-time. This also works well for snow, leaves, and other examples you've seen me post.

You can use the Motion tools in Unreal 5.6 to easily reveal an entire Archviz scene with hundreds of objects, including buildings &amp; foliage. It's super snappy &amp; all real-time. Tutorials have been added to Unreal Motion 5.6

Sand simulation in Unreal using Niagara GPU particles that take their velocity from the smoke sim to give it the swirling / spinning motion. All real-time. This will be covered in Niagara Automotive. I just opened the waitlist here:

First few test shots combining my Niagara bullet hit system in a scene with other FX.

Remade my real-time burnout sim as it's another VFX setup I'll need for an upcoming Unreal cinematic.

Unreal 5.6 motion tools can now reveal hundreds of objects, such as an entire archviz scene, all in real-time.

Unreal’s Motion Design tools now have official in-game support, unlocking a whole new world of gameplay VFX. Here’s a glimpse of what’s possible. 🟥 Black Friday Enrollment closes tonight at 11:59 PST (LA time):

New Unreal 5.6 River tools used in The Witcher 4 demo make it easy to add water simulation to a landscape - it realistically collides, generates whitewater, and even supports buoyancy for floating objects. All in real-time. Tutorials have been added to the Unreal Megabundle.

New Unreal 5.7 version of the FREE Niagara Fluids Crash Course is now available. 20 Ultra-Beginner Lessons, 7 VFX shots. Learn real-time volumetric sims, fire, smoke, lightning, sparks, and many useful tips &amp; tricks. Expires on November 24. Get it at the link below ⬇

LiquiGen in Unreal Engine: took me some time to figure out the workflow but now it's starting to be a lot of fun. Plays back in real-time in viewport even with all the splash &amp; foam (thanks to Niagara)

You can now run real-time water simulations at this level of quality, with splash &amp; foam, inside Unreal Engine 5.3

Truck vs. forest flood real-time liquid sim made with Niagara Fluids in Unreal. New lesson I'm adding to Niagara Immersion soon.

Make your first Niagara Fluids simulation in Unreal 5.7. Full process beginner tutorial for this desert monster is included in my Free Witcher VFX Course:

The canyon is flooding but luckily you have powers. Made with LiquiGen + Niagara. Captured in real-time in Unreal Engine

Today I'm releasing a completely FREE Niagara Fluids VFX Crash Course Learn how to create real-time, volumetric smoke &amp; fire simulations directly inside Unreal Engine 5! 12 lessons and 4 complete FX setups included. Beginners welcome!

Today I'm releasing a completely FREE EmberGen Magic FX Crash Course (10 videos). Learn GPU particles, variety of forces, modulators, vorticles, custom color gradients, importing animated characters, looping your simulations, and much more. Beginners welcome!

Got a lot of tutorial requests for this real-time bubble simulation in Unreal. So I re-made it from scratch and recorded the full process inside Niagara Motion

Real-time liquid simulation made with Niagara Fluids in Unreal Engine 5.4. The liquid particles are meshed as spheres and colored by speed.

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.

LiquiGen water attack in Unreal: Added a lot more splash &amp; foam (170k) - could add even more but would have to render it out. Also retiming works (this is 2x speed).

Real-time emitting Niagara Fluids from the third person character in Unreal Engine 5.3 (this one is even more fun to play with than the drifting car)

First experiments with Unreal Engine 5.5 motion tools. It's a huge update! Changing materials, collisions, revamped material designer, new effector modes &amp; animators. I'll be posting examples of all the new features.

Niagara smoke sim driven by my microphone audio in real-time. The audio spectrum controls particle position, brightness, and smoke emission. In theory you could project these behind your performer / DJ for some live audio visuals.

Finally got LiquiGen foam into Unreal. Only about 60k foam particles here so it runs in real-time.

You can now create volumetric clouds with Niagara Fluids directly inside Unreal Engine 5.3 (No VDB import needed) A step-by-step tutorial for this exact setup has been added to Niagara Immersion, which you can still grab here (2 days left):
