THE PORATL EFFECT
-
This effect was made in the Niagara system in unreal engine 5.
-
The last rendering was taken directly from the level sequencer from the engine.
-
This system consists of a combination of two effects (vortex effect and the beam)
The niagara emitter
-
This is the Niagara system with different emitters that together contribute to the effect.
-
The particles that behave as a portal are a different system.
-
I did make use of vortex force and made the axis of the vortex velocity rotate in the Z axis.
-
The other beam system consists of multiple emitters.
The meshes and textures
-
There are two meshes used: The cone mesh and the disc mesh
-
The textures are all hand-painted and edited in photoshop.
The materials
-
There are three materials used to achieve the effect.
-
One of the materials is used for the star texture appearing in the effect. (made use of instance material for optimization purposes.)
-
The other one is used for the center aura effect that looks like a moving purple fire.
-
The last material is used for the panning effect on the cylinder that scales along with the beam.
