Fantastic tutorial! Just getting into UE. What specs are you running on your machine?

[@ahmedazizyedes]

Thank you for your feedback I appreciate it 😊
Here is the full spec for my computer:

Awesome! This is great. Do you know how to have more than one collider at a time with a niagara fluid? I've tried adding the collider tag to 2 objects and it only appears to be able to collide with one or the other.

[@ahmedazizyedes]

Thank you ^^
I just tested it and it works for me. In the niagara properties you can add a specific tag under "Collision Data Interfaces -> Collision Rigid Mesh Query -> Search -> Actor Tags" and then in your MeshActor properties you need to add the tag to "Actor -> Advanced -> Tags" not under the "Component Tags" list.

Good tutorial, but niagara crashing all the time! Would be nice to also cover how to optimize these effects.

[@ahmedazizyedes]

Thank you for your feedback I appreciate it 🙏
I agree, niagara fluids are still heavy, the tutorial was a showcase of how to create the tornado, it is not to be played at runtime. Although niagara sim cache is an option to play back the effect after it was simulated, it will be lighter.
Thank you for the feedback, I will do better in the future ☺

I'm new with UE, can you tell me what type of project you created for VFX and particle. I like your vid man, but it would be more helpful if you teach a noob like me from create project, set editor and so on.

[@ahmedazizyedes]

Thank you for your comment 🙏
Actually there isn't a specific type of project for VFX. You can use any template from the provided ones or you can start a blank project as well.
I understand the struggle especially when using Unreal Engine for the first times, it has a lot of buttons, and the user interface has a lot of things, but with time it will become easier !
For this specific tutorial, you can start a blank project, and then follow the steps that's it, no specific editor settings needed, just some plugins to enable as shown in the video.
I will help you with pleasure if you have any further questions, don't hesitate ☺

[@hotsauce7124]

Question: Hello, is there a way to have Niagara particles to be attracted like a magnet to animatable geometry? For example, if there is a magnet mesh' and the magnet mesh is animated moving around, can we a also have the Niagara particles to be attracted to that magnet?

[@ahmedazizyedes]

Thank you for your question.
I need to take a close look to that. It seems doable but I need to take a close look ^^

[@dragon_slayerx2299]

is it possible to change the colour of the tornado? I want to try using this in a desert setting.

[@ahmedazizyedes]

Hello,
Yes it is possible, there is an attribute called "Color" that can be set to true.
Although you need to set the proper settings to achieve the result you want.

Thank you lol ^^

Are we able to export alphas of these effects?

[@ahmedazizyedes]

Hello,
Do you mean export alpha using unreal engine sequencer ?

[@nitinsidard8621]

cant find grid3D Gas master Emitter

[@ahmedazizyedes]

Hello 👋 You need to enable the "Niagara Fluids" plugin first

[@nitinsidard8621]

@@ahmedazizyedes yeah bro I have enabled it but even though it's not showing up

[@JW86100]

@@nitinsidard8621 Yo, I assume you are using an earlier version than 5.3. After selecting add emitter, you need to UNTICK the "Library only" box and you'll find Grid 3d Gas Emitter. :)
