Free Unreal Engine 5.1 Project: Niagara VFX Book Files (Packt, Hrishikesh Andurlekar)

Overview

Packt Publishing shares the project for Build Stunning Real-time VFX with Unreal Engine 5 by Hrishikesh Andurlekar, a book that introduces Niagara particle systems for real-time visual effects. The single UE 5.1 project contains the book's basic Niagara system, emitter and custom module, a fire logo system controlled from a Blueprint actor, fire sparks, a presence grid built from modules, a debug demo emitter and a colored lightning effect made with a scratch pad module.

The book covers vector math basics, Niagara namespaces, adding a Niagara system to a Blueprint actor, dynamic inputs and publishing custom modules for a team. The book is sold separately, while the MIT-licensed project is a free download from GitHub.
