Particles & Fluids in Motion: Exploring VFX with Unreal Engine
In this 4-hour hands-on workshop, we will dive into the fascinating world of real-time VFX in Unreal Engine, exploring both the Niagara system and the powerful Niagara Fluids. Designed for all levels, from beginners to experienced artists, the session will guide you through the fundamental principles of particle-based effects, while progressively introducing advanced techniques for creating dynamic, immersive simulations.
Through practical demonstrations and step-by-step exercises, participants will learn how to design, control, and optimize visual effects ranging from stylized particle systems to realistic fire, smoke, and liquid simulations. The workshop emphasizes a creative and production-ready approach, giving attendees the tools to integrate real-time VFX into games, cinematics, or interactive experiences.
By the end of the session, you will have a solid understanding of Niagara’s workflow, the creative potential of Niagara Fluids, and the confidence to bring your own visual effects to life in Unreal Engine.
