Hey thanks! It's nothing too complicated. Just a few custom shaders and Niagara systems. I used Embergen plates for the glowing eyes and atmosphere.

I highly recommend this series if you are looking to get into VFX. https://www.udemy.com/course/ue4-vfx-for-games-beginner-to-intermediate/

The overall VFX in the series aren't spectacular or anything, but its a very solid guide on the basics of Niagara and fundamentals VFX creation.

Thank you for pointing out the Udemy VFX course! Found it due to this post and immediately got it, as need to learn VFX very badly right now

As for me personally, this is what I've found so far to be the most useful:

  1. Unreal Live Training - Intro to Cascade series (there should be some similar Niagara ones atm but avoiding Niagara as heard performance for it is generally pretty bad right now)
  2. CGSHow's various vids. I haven't watched any of the more recent ones (as they're all Niagara-focused) but the older ones don't do teaching as much as showing like this amazing flower VFX. However, that still taught me a lot on how to approach creating these effects
  3. 26min overview of particle systems. This is pretty darn good and got me up to speed pretty quickly. He also has a really, really, really good similar vid regarding materials which I'd also recommend as well

Still going through the various resources above so can't attest to how valuable they'll actually be for you. However, hope something above does turn out to be pretty useful
