Particle Ribbon Trails Example

The Epic provided Ribbon Trail Example is great reference. Unfortunately at beginning of the trail you can see a visible hard line briefly after birth. Is it possible to fix that issue?

Thanks

Hey CGRonin -

Can you let me know what version of the Content Examples you are using whether it is freshly downloaded or converted and of course what version of the editor you are using?

Thank You

Hi Eric,

I’m running 4.6.1 but the content example says 4.6
I have also taken the material into 4.6.1 and it has the same issues.

I forgot to mention that it is the Engine Feature Samples - ContentExamples - “Effects” Level - Example 2.5

Thanks!

Hey CGRonin -

You can remove the line which is caused by the hard edge in the Ribbon Smoke Material by adding a Sphere Mask with a Hardness of 0 multiplied by the Opacity set up of the Material, see the picture below:

Thank You
