unreal engine 4 how to add aura for my character, like in Castlevania 2 lords of shadows, or the darkness 1/2 games ??? please be detailed and show pictures. iam a noobie. But iam dedicated to learning. Here is some pics of what iam talking about to.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 - Dracula's Destiny Trailer - YouTube @ 2:09 and 2:12 and 2:13 around the dragon’s body. The mist looking Aura stuff.

My Skype is matthew.armstrong15
please let me know on here soon as possible.

Also does anyone know how to cut off limps like in this video here Hellblade - Development Diary 6: Camera, Controls, and Combat - YouTube at 4:51 to 4:54 ??? I was thinking, Animations of body limb coming off, and use animation BP, link to sword hitting limp and time with animation.

You could do it with particles (e.g take a look at the fire particle from the starter content -> just delete the heat distortion + the sparks and change the texture) or do it with planes and an animated material (so you just move the texture on your mesh with a panner node) -> the particle way will look much better :slight_smile:
