In this multi-part video we take a look at the benefits of Instanced Static Meshes, how to create and utilize them. The differences between instanced static meshes and hierarchical instanced static meshes.
This multi-part video will also go over how to create a instance/object position exporter from Maya or Blender with Python. And how to write a Loader in Unreal 5 with Blueprints to read in those exported files from Blender or Maya.

![Unreal Engine 5.2 - Intro To Particle Driven Niagara Fluids (Fire & Smoke Explosion) [1]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/d8q8jDUmCvE/mqdefault.jpg "Unreal Engine 5.2 - Intro To Particle Driven Niagara Fluids (Fire & Smoke Explosion) [1]
Topic: Unreal Engine 5.2 - Intro To Particle Driven Niagara Fluids
In this introductory video tutorial, I will demonstrate how to create an explosion using the Niagara FX System and Niagara Fluids in Unreal Engine 5.2+. By understanding the steps and information covered in this video, youll be able to easily and quicky generate real-time volume, smoke, and fire simulations from particle systems.
Note for Unreal 5.3 - Particle Source
Make sure you are creating a Grid3D_Gas_Master_Emitter. And inside of it under Emitter Summary with the All Tab click on, look for Particle Source Group, once you find it set Particle Source Type to Emitter and then the Particle Reader Group will show up, and inside that theres a spot to type in your Emitter Name.
If you need to extend the distance culling
Try, (r.HeterogeneousVolumes.MaxTraceDistance 100000) in the command console.
