@LostLightAstrophotography7 25 дней назад

is there a way to apply the effect onto the main skeleton meshes of a meta human? i can get it to work but for only 1 skeleton mesh and now I am really confused. in the metahuman theres quite a few meshes but i am only worried about 3, face, body, feet. I can get it to work as I want on 1 mesh but the moment I start adding more, it doesnt do what I am wanting it to do. again, thank you so sos much for the video and it really really means alot you did this video so thank you. would not be here without so thanks again.

@RtxRob 7 месяцев назад

@RedefineFX Thanks for the nice tutorial, however it seems to be not working in the viewport when the NS is added as child of mesh via character blueprint. I have already enabled plugins niagara fluid, cache, etc. Set the NS to auto activate in blueprint, it shows there within the blueprint but not in viewport. Any help would be great. Thanks again.

find a similar shaped 3d model to person overlay on person after traxking them place effects tracking/using the fbx to scatter points hide the fbx, I think theyd render it transparent and then composite elsewhere

is there a way to get something like this on static meshes ? like i have a metor in my scene ( animated in sequencer location and rotation ) and i want fire on the meteor and a smoke trail..is this possible ?

@kickheavy8982 3 месяца назад

Have you figured out how to do this on a static mesh yet? It's exactly what I'm trying to do now. Most tutorials only show how to set it up on a skeletal mesh. That doesn't really help if you have a static mesh already animated in your scene that you simply want to attach your particle system to.

Hey bud. I love your tutorials they're so straight forward and clear but I have problems with this one. Everything looks fine in the editor window but will not appear on the map, even if I start the game no niagra appears. Other niagra effects pop up straight away so it's something within this blueprint. I've triple checked everything. I'm dumbfounded. Any advice. Greatly appreciated. Also I signed up to your course 🎉

Is it safe to assume that this is 5.3 specific? tried to emulate on current project which is on 5.2 and was fine until I connected the Niagara system to the skeletal mesh. it attached, I clicked none. and it just refuses to render in the scene. cannot for the life of me figure out why, also, as daft as it sounds, the positioning of the FX keeps moving. if I put it to the exact same as the actor, it doesn't remain. even though its attached?
