Preface

Unreal Engine’s Niagara is a powerful visual effects system developed by Epic Games for their Unreal Engine. It allows developers and artists to create stunning and complex particle effects and simulations in real time for use as high-quality visuals in games, films, and other interactive experiences. The learning curve is, however, very steep, and it is very difficult for beginners to get started with Niagara. This book addresses this issue and gives a gentle but detailed introduction to Niagara.
