The niagara emitter
-
This is a Niagara system that has two emitters, together giving the desired effect.
-
One of the emitters displays the bottom toon-styled smoke.
-
The other emitter is the main one, which shows the tornado rings moving.
THE WATER TORNADO
-
This effect was made in the Niagara system in unreal engine 5.
-
The effect gives off a stylized, toon look.
-
The shape of the tornado can be altered in Niagara with user-exposed parameters.
The meshes and textures
-
One of the meshes used is the thick ring meanwhile the other is the sphere.
-
The textures here are noise textures that are made in photoshop and then imported into unreal.
The materials
-
The materials play a very important role in this effect.
-
The main material is from the blue tornado applied to the rings in the Niagara system.
-
The other material is for the smoke (water splash) effect that is at the bottom of the system.
