Unreal5 Niagra VFX: Floating Ember/Dust Particles

so you want to fill your scene with floating Embers not a problem right click Niagara system hanging particle plus finish name it drag it in open it then set Sim Target to GPU and fix bounds to help performance now the size of the area of the particles take up is controlled under the shape location module it defaults to 400 but you can make it however big you need under initialized particle I like to change the Min and Max lifetime to something a little more Dynamic so one and seven are pretty cool in my opinion if you're doing fire Embers you probably want to give it a reddish orange glow and just so the particles aren't all exactly the same size and shape change size mode from random uniform to random non-uniform a cool looking range would be one to ten now you can see they're all random shapes and sizes and under wind Force you can decide how windy the particles look like they're being blown around the higher the value the more movement you will see and it's also helpful to adjust the Min and Max drag so the particles don't all move at the exact same speed in the wind and lastly if you have your own Sprite that you would like to use you can of course set it under the rendered material it's slight but a simple Sprite goes a very long way for this kind of effect anyway I hope that helps and as always hope you have a fantastic day and I'll see you around foreign
