A downloadable asset pack for Windows

== Description ==
This is an Unreal Engine 4 project I made to demo metaballs. I also demo an audio visualizer made with Niagara particles. 

The reason why I included it is because originally, I intended to combine metaballs with Niagara to create a unique audio visualizer. Unfortunately I did not found a way to combine them. However, I did manage to transfer it over to UE5. The Niagara audio visualizer in this demo have since been updated to follow my UE5 version due to the removal of the Sound Visualizations plugin in UE5. 

Alt+F4 to close application  :(

== The Demo ==
Once the project is launched, there will be 3 things to observe. The first is the blue metaballs by the right side of the map, and the second is the Niagara audio visualizer. The blue metaballs is a post process material which was the earlier creation in my metaballs research. 

If you leave the "room", you will spot that the metaballs has turned white. That is the third object to observe, because post process materials can't be blocked by other objects. I adapted the material to be used on static meshes so that it can be blocked by other objects.

== Resources == 
• Custom Material Node: How to use and create Metaballs | Live Training | Unreal Engine 
UE4 Tutorial - Blob with Raymarching 

Note: When I was researching on metaballs I found 3 tutorials on how to create metaballs. However, the only one that really worked was the one from Unreal Engine Live Training although the other's did contribute to my understanding. 

P.S. I forgot what was the third tutorial but I still have the material and the HLSL code in my GitHub.
