- Alchemical cauldron as an effect source
- Loop animations: infinite playback without noticeable transitions
- Customizable parameters: color and intensity
- Volumetric VDB: rich volume and a cinematic appearance
Recommended for creative projects such as cinematics, trailers, motion design, and magical or designer VFX.
To use the effects:
1. Copy the “MagicSmokeVDB” folder to the “Content” folder of your project (UE 5.5 or higher).
2. In project settings, search for “Heterogeneous Volumes (Beta)” and enable the feature.
3. Place the effect class actor on the stage, such as “BP_CauldronSmokeArcaneMist”.
4. Set the effect scale in the “HeterogeneousVolume” component within the BP class.
5. Customize the color, intensity, and character of the smoke in the material class, such as “SmokeArcaneMistMat_Inst”.
6. If using only the effect without the actor model, drag the “Heterogeneous Volume” component onto the stage and apply a material instance (e.g., “SmokeArcaneMistMat_Inst”) in the “Materials” tab.
7. In the “Animation” tab, adjust the “Frame Rate” to your preference, and ensure the “Playing” and “Looping” options are checked.
Note: VDB effects are artistic elements and do not support physical interaction. They are best suited for cinematics, trailers, and scenic visualization.
