In this Unreal Engine 5 tutorial, you’ll learn how to create a stylized glowing edge cube effect using custom material nodes and the Niagara particle system! We break down how to set up procedural glowing borders and center lines using UV coordinates, add noise distortion, derive normal maps, and bring it all together inside Niagara with mesh particles.
📌 What You'll Learn:
🔹 Procedural Edge & Center Lines: Masking texture coordinates and using step nodes to control line thickness.
🔹 Noise & Distortion: Blending noise textures to give organic distortion and dissolve details.
🔹 Surface Shading: Setting up base color, emissive glow, and generating normal maps with Flatten Normal control.
🔹 Niagara Particle Setup: Spawning mesh cubes, controlling orientation, and layering smaller cubes around a sphere location.
