This is a really great video tutorial. I am just learning UE5 from scratch from no tech background and now I feel comfortable using this special effects tool after watching.

I've watched quite a lot of "tutorials" about Niagara System... and this one is the first one really helpful for the understanding of the philosophy of the emitter/system stuff so you guy!!! Keep going!!!
