Niagara is one of the most powerful and flexible particle systems in game engines.
One outstanding feature of Niagara is its ability to simulate millions of particles in real-time, perfect for creating realistic weather effects, explosions, and other large-scale effects. It also comes with a comprehensive set of tools for optimizing performance and controlling particle behavior based on distance, speed, and other game-related events.
Niagara also features a flexible and powerful material system, allowing developers to create unique and detailed particle effects that can seamlessly integrate into the game world.
With Niagara, technical artists have the ability to create additional functionalities independently, without needing a programmer’s help. You can create very complex effects without writing a single line of code. Niagara is both flexible and easy to understand.
