When I edit the 3d one, nothing shows up in the screen. Is there anybody who knows how to fix this? 😢 ---

Having the same problem here. Basic Niagara emitters and the 2D Niagara Fluid emitters seem to work but the 3D Niagara Fluid template systems are blank. Did you ever find a resolution? ---

I got the same issue and fixed it. Open up the Niagara System, click the 3 dots besides **Compile** and hit **Full Rebuild**. Save it and it worked for me. ---

Sometimes making the size of the pool to a cube will make it visible and slowly adjusting the size will let you know what it can’t do. This niagara pool system is pretty ■■■■ put hey ho ---

For 3D fluid simulation, I found out that my problem was that in the Niagara system editor, down on the timeline, I had start set to time other than 0. Setting it to 0 made the water appear. However, I haven’t been able to get the 3D gas simulations to appear. Full recompile made no difference. I can confirm that 2D simulations work as expected. ---

It’s because of landscape - try it with empty level and just put it on simple plane. Also you can try to disable “Use landscape collisions”. ![Снимок экрана 2024-04-04 022004](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/9/2/9/92995059889ed3b1af31c2980f86328b6e85ddfd.jpeg) ---

Okay, in my case, the problem was with the viewport scalability settings. Everything is fine now after I set them to Cinematic ![image](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/7/1/e/71e644e06d1687fa16502eac6f3de69679a859be.png)
