Hey Gabriel! Thanks for tutorials. They are helping a lot. Is it possible to create a tutorial for particles/vfx graph that uses meshes instead of camera facing billboards?

How do I create a material from the the stylized laser beam to use for this tutorial? I am stumped good sir (right click create material just creates a default blank material).

Hi Gabriel! Do you know how to do a "smash" effect like Midoriya's one (from boku no hero)?
thanks for all your tutorials

[visarbaci]

think I missed a step, but I can't see the line render at all? is there a settings i forgot to apply?

[vermilionssj]

Can you make detailed video on how to textures in photoshop and and on a free app or free website to make textures

Gabriel can u do something related to VFX and grappling hooks. I dont really understand line renderer or how it should be edited.

EDIT -NVM u touched what i was looking for in min 5. Thanks a lot.

Hi, I was trying your black hole tutorial the other day, I managed to follow along but mine doesn't seem like yours. It is like you have a bloom effect or emission. I tried everything for that glow but nothing is working for me. Do you have any suggestions, maybe a part where I'm lost? On the video when you apply the swirl texture, lights became the Sun itself, mine is like a moon no light properties whatsoever.

Teria como fazer algo como condução? Se tiver inimigos com arma ou armadura de metal e estiver próximo ao alvo atingir também? (se bem que ficaria mais maneiro atingir não só inimigos)

Bro do u think posible to convert from unity to .par file?

Podia fazer um de chuva "volumétrica fake" parecida com a do hellblade, parece que usam um noise para simular vento e intensidade. Tentei mas não consegui bom resultado. Grande abraço man.

Please do more UE5 niagara guides! They are amazing, and i wouldn't mind if they were a little longer to add slightly more detail that is in the finished product

Can create this tutorial to Unreal Engine ?
