Hi there. I’m finally diving into advanced uses of Niagara fluid setups, both 2D and 3D. I was working with 5.3 for different projects, but recently switched to 5.4 and 5.5 for some R&D.

I just noticed some huge differences in the Niagara fluid template Grid2D_Gas_Color. This template was working perfectly in 5.3, with a beautiful liquid ink effect. But it seems the template as been modified for 5.4 / 5.5 and now it looks broken to me, with the most noticeable part is that the particles emitting ink are no longer soft circles but are now sluggish squares with an overall laggy result… (look at the screenshots, but the result is of course more noticeable live). Also it seems some other parts are missing / modified, with some options not accessible and so on…

5.3

5.4 / 5.5

Is there any way to solve this?
Is there a new version of this template available somewhere?

Thanks in advance!
