Session 07 - Particles (10 points)
Task 07.01 and 07.02 are due next class, meaning on Wednesday, June 14th. Task 07.03 and 04 are due on Monday, June 19th.
This assignment should take <= 4h. If you need longer, please comment on that in your submission.
Particles
Task 07.01 - Lecture Topics
Read Chapter 08 - Particles. You can also have a look at the slides, if that works better for you.
Unreal
Task 07.02 - Introduction To Niagara
Complete an introductory tutorial about Niagara. In Chapter 02 - Unreal you find tutorial suggestions. At the very least, you have to understand the content of UE5 Niagara in 300 Seconds.
If you already know Niagara well, chose a more advanced topic within Niagara and investigate it further. Summarize your investigation briefly.
Submission: A link to the tutorial you completed and at least one preview image (this does not need to be a designed scene, nor a polished image), linked in your pgs_ss23_07_lastname.md file.
Task 07.03 - Particles
Complete one more advanced Niagara tutorial regarding any topic up to your liking. In Chapter 02 - Unreal you find tutorial suggestions. You could, e.g., implement boids in Unreal. Also, next week we will talk about fluids, you could also chose a Niagara fluids tutorial. You need to adjust the final result to make it your own and come up with a well-designed animation and preview image.
Alternatively, you do not have to follow a tutorial but you can come up with your very own particle setup and scene.
This will be your last Unreal task before the final project! Make it special 😁.
Submission: A link to the tutorial you completed (if applicable) and at least one preview image and one animation, e.g. as gif, of your scene, linked in your pgs_ss23_07_lastname.md file.
