In this Unreal Engine 5 tutorial, we create a spaceship thruster effect using Niagara, built from scratch and designed to be both cinematic and performant.

We’ll go through the core Niagara concepts needed to build a believable ship engine plume, including particle motion, shaping the exhaust, controlling intensity, and making the thruster respond cleanly to movement and direction. The goal is to create a thruster effect that works well for space scenes, sci-fi ships, cinematics, and real-time gameplay.

This tutorial focuses on understanding why the system works, not just copying values, so you can easily adapt the setup for different ship sizes, engine styles, or visual moods.

If you want to jump straight into tweaking and experimenting, the finished project is available to download and includes the complete Niagara thruster setup shown in the video.

This workflow works in Unreal Engine 5 and is suitable for both beginners getting into Niagara and more advanced users looking to refine their VFX pipelines.

What you’ll learn:

How to design a spaceship thruster using Niagara
Controlling thrust direction, scale, and intensity
Building a clean, reusable Niagara system
Creating cinematic sci-fi engine effects in UE5
Practical Niagara techniques you can reuse in other effects
