Particle Morphing System

Overview

The Particle Morphing System turns 3D objects into particle-based forms and seamlessly morphs those particles into the shape of another object. It's built for cinematic sequences, interactive gameplay moments and art pieces — anywhere a transformation should feel dynamic rather than cut.

It's implemented in Unreal Engine with Niagara, materials and Blueprint logic, and released on GitHub.

Control over the morph

• Shapes — start and target forms from meshes or images.
• Timeline — design detailed sequences of morphing and particle filling; multiple objects can morph simultaneously, one after another, or in a custom order.
• Look — colour, shape, fade and movement styles per transition, and transition speed.
• Triggers — timed, or driven by gameplay events.
• Endings — choose how a morph or fill finishes, with options for the final animation of the particle form.

The system is fully compatible with Unreal's Sequencer, so morphs can be driven from a custom timeline, from Sequencer, or both together — fitting straight into traditional animation workflows.
