How to Create Shield VFX in Unreal Engine and Trigger it with a Keyboard Key
In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to create a Shield VFX in Unreal Engine, attach it to a character, and trigger it using the keyboard! We’ll use materials, Niagara effects, and Blueprints to make a dynamic and interactive shield effect.
🔥 What You’ll Learn:
✅ Create a Shield Material (M_Shield) using Fresnel, noise animation, depth fade, and refraction
✅ Set up a Niagara Emitter (NE_Shield) with a mesh renderer
✅ Build a Niagara System (NS_Shield) to apply the VFX
