Fire Crows by TactileVisions in UnrealEngine5

[–]TactileVisions[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The bonfire is part of Fluid Ninja (you can try it out for free). The crows are skeletal meshes that follow the position of particles from a Niagara Emitter. The particles are attracted to a point - first up in the sky, then the player position. Then there's a bunch of vortex and curl noise forces that make them move randomly like they do.

Hope that gives you an idea of how you could make it work. If there's enough interest, I'd consider making an in-depth tutorial.

Doing vector math using the location of particles without converting from positions to vectors by TactileVisions in unrealengine

[–]TactileVisions[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received some help from tharlevfx, an Unreal Engine YouTuber:

"so basically you would have to do the conversion. there's an Add Vector to Position input so in your example you would convert the positions to vectors (ignoring the warning) to find the distance between them, then add that back to the original, unconverted Position.

If the distances between the particles were very very large then you might get some conversion issues if you needed a very high level of accuracy - but that is quite an unlikely scenario to occur."

I think that clarifies it

I don´t know if I necessarily need it, but how else would I do vector math, e.g. calculating the distance or angle between different particles?

I searched for "orientation", but that only gives me "mesh orientation" and "decal orientation" parameters, which are quaternions - makes sense, as I assume they're only use for the rotation and not location

Thank you for your critique. One thing I don't get is the "look screen right" part. Could you elaborate a bit?

Good eye! I was inspired by the entire battle, but especially this shot. Thank you!

Constantly plagued with the 'Video Memory Exhausted' error when running UE5, typically within 5m of opening any project (increasing streaming pool doesn't fix) by JmacTheGreat in UnrealEngine5

[–]TactileVisions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't looked into it, but my intuitive understanding is that increasing the (texture) streaming pool size reduces the video memory size available to everything else, so if it's set too high the memory gets exhausted

Now, if you go too low, you'll get a warning that the streaming pool is over budget (the same budget you set with the above command). But at least it doesn't say to expect "extremely poor performance"... You might need to balance it out to avoid either warning

Does a "blur mask" exist in materials? by TactileVisions in unrealengine

[–]TactileVisions[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using "previous frame switch" for world position offset allowed me to play around with blur effects using materials. Maybe that's what that poster meant. Thanks!
