In this mini-course, we’ll create VoidGrasp — a swirling, world position offset effect that twists geometry into a spiraling motion, enhanced with emissive energy and wispy UV distortions. You’ll learn how to use Custom HLSL nodes to deform geometry and textures, generate masks for emissive details, and control parameters such as direction, intensity, and thresholds.

The course includes:

Video lessons with a clear breakdown of each step.

The complete UE5 project, fully set up with sequencer, materials, Niagara, and all assets.

Custom HLSL material nodes, ready to explore and adapt to your own effects.

By the end, you’ll have a cinematic, game-ready VFX and the knowledge to build your own unique variations.
