Create MUZZLE FLASH Gun FX for Unreal 5 Cinematics

Join the Godzilla Masterclass LIVE tomorrow unrealforvfx.com/godzilla
Learn how to create Gunfire, Muzzle Flashes, and Dynamic Gun FX in Unreal Engine 5 in this step-by-step Niagara tutorial!
Are you using Niagara in your cinematics? If not, you're probably missing out! Niagara is one of my favorite VFX tools in UE5, but it's definitely a tool made by game developers for game developers. I hope to simplify Niagara for the rest of us and show you how to create a dynamic gun fire system - from your viewport to your final render inside of Nuke!
Did you learn something new? Have a tutorial suggestion? Leave a comment and let me know :D
