The course starts with an introduction to the Niagara VFX System for absolute beginners, then we create our first smoke simulation with Niagara Fluids, followed by project-based lessons where we re-create everything shown in the trailer. The course provides structured learning with gradually increasing complexity, taking you from beginner to intermediate level. You will learn how to create real-time volumetric fire and smoke simulations, add sparks, ground dust, and increase realism with settings like Turbulence and Wind. By the end of this course you will have the skills to create a wide range of essential Magical FX, entirely inside Unreal Engine 5.7.
