Niagara Smoke, Mixamo and 3D Sound in Unreal Engine 5.8 | Tutorial 8

Bring a tower defence game to life in Unreal Engine 5.8 with a Niagara explosion of smoke and sparks, enemies that run and fall with free Mixamo animations, and sounds that live in the world. Everything is built in Blueprints, with no code.

If you built the effects, like the video and subscribe for the next one. What would you add a particle effect to first, and which sound changed how the map feels?
