Hi everyone 🙂

I’m new to Niagra and I try to learn how it works.

So my problem is when i add a node to scale particule (scale mesh size or sprite size ) i can’t see them anymore.  
But the particle count says that they are particles in the viewport.

Thank you for your answer 🙂

In the Niagara System:

1. “Initialize Particle” → Mesh Attributes → Mesh Scale Mode
2. Set “Mesh Scale Mode” to Uniform.

I think this will help you!

Had the same issue.

SOLUTION: Make sure the Scale Sprite Size component is at the correct stack position in the overview - inside the Particle Update section.

Hey !

Make sure before adding a “scale sprite size” or a “scale mesh size” in the particle update to add a value in the " Initialize particle "  
(The reason is you can’t scale a unknow value)

For me that I also use 5.1.1.  
I was able to solve it by just changing the mode in “Initialize Particle” → Sprite Attributes → Sprite Scale Mode → Set “Sprite Scale Mode” to Uniform and with that I can visualize the particles again.  
And it makes sense to me since I would be using the [Scale “Sprite” size] and not the [Scale “Mesh” size].
