: Automatic "SurfaceDust" effects that trigger based on the thruster's distance from the ground. 4. Case Study: Spacecraft Integration
This paper explores the technical architecture of the asset pack, developed by SHOGUN GAMES . We examine the use of the Niagara VFX system to create 12 unique, high-performance exhaust effects suitable for spacecraft, jetpacks, and vehicles. The study focuses on the implementation of local-space simulation for moving actors, parameterized customization, and automatic Level of Detail (LOD) systems for cross-platform optimization. 1.

: All particle systems leverage the Niagara framework, allowing for complex behaviors like ribbon trails and military-style afterburners.
Real-time propulsive effects must balance visual fidelity with strict performance budgets. The pack provides a modular solution for these requirements, offering 20 unique effects and 30 specialized materials designed for seamless integration into Unreal Engine projects. 2.
