Unreal 5.1 - Chladni patterns (Rings of Power intro) effect using Niagara (FULL TUTORIAL)

Today's tutorial is all about Chladni patterns, which you might have seen in the intro for the TV show "Rings of Power", and how to make a similar effect using Niagara particles. Enjoy! :)

this is litteraly the jackpot. Nobody seems to be using Unreal for Motion design and niagara has some seriously underrated features that should have the mograph community raving! Especially combined with realtime photoreal rendering with Lumen means serious cuts in render times and faster client delivery. You. Are. The. BOMB! Yes!

amazing work and amazing tutorial. keep up the fantastic work! thank you for this!

[iamisandisnt]

Incredible, thanks for providing exactly what I was hoping one could do with Niagara. This is perfect <3

[aaronhesse]

Absolute banger of a tutorial, this is amazing. Any news on when you will make a follow-up tutorial showing how particles can collide using PBD? that would be a game changer.

8:43 you can also add a copy of the multiply and add nodes after the sine and cosine it into a single static switch param

This is some really useful stuff thank you.

[sean_patrick]

This is certainly well beyond my expertise but I just have to try this, thanks!

Great tutorial! Will be great to watch your tutorial about Niagara NeighborGrid. And also maybe it possible to make niagara sim looks like metaballs, it will be great tutorail too!

[wenruiyin]

my niagara don't "set new or existing paramenter directly" for UE5.31

[TcheFranco]

Is it possible to make this with custom images? Like A text or a Logo, so in the end the particles reveals it

19:53. i have still colored particles instead of white particles. what i do wrong? i was deleted color parameter and in preview window i have still colored particles.

Enrique, first off a HUGE thank you for the unique video. But I would like to ask you to record a video on how to use PBD to make meshes collide. Unfortunately, there are no sane instructions on how to work with PBD anywhere. And this will open up entirely new horizons for animation. Thank you agein!

Hi. love your tutorial! One q, I made LvlSeq to control material instance parameters m and n. When I play afer few changes, particles start to gather into few places and whole system looks deserted and empty.On what should I focus inside NiagaraSystem if I want them to react much faster? Is it delay time, warmup tick? Thank you!

[boris_kowalski]

Hello, awesome video. I tried to repeat after you but I have an issue. Particles goes somewhere up. but in sine is ok How to fix it?

[semclaquete]

can you put the code in the comment please???
Thank you so much

[moritztill]

Great Video! Sadly my particles only move towards the + direction and not to the closest position on a line as it looks in the video. That means that after a while all particles move to the top upper corner of the system bounds. If I multiply the forces with -1 it only moves in the - direction. Is there any obvious step I am missing or is it the Unreal Version I am using (5.2Preview)?

[emrearslan]

Are there any YouTube channels, documentations or books you would recommend in addition to yours when it comes to such content? Good tutorials like these are hard to find. In general, I'm wondering how you teach yourself such things. I understand the mathematical logic, which one can learn, but I find it difficult to translate that into Unreal.

[mischan]

Thank you so much for this tutorial - it's exactly how i want to use niagara.
I face one promlem tho: For some reason only the particles which are initially close to the lines of the texture are effected by velocity and start moving towards the lines, the others stay in place and dont move.. any idea why this is happening? (I'm using UE5.3.1)

[lsten-zhcv]

What if I want the particles to form a specific pattern or logo design based on a grayscale image?

[yapanwolf]

is it possible to add more than one shape to mesh renderer?
