This effect is a force-field generator tool for UE4, designed to be as user friendly and adaptable as possible. My goal was to make something that would allow for a massive amount of variation in a wide scale sci-fi environment, to maximize immersion and world building, without dramatically increasing workload, work-time, or hindering optimization.
The tool itself allows for the creations of nearly infinite looks of energy field type effects, with each parameter being independent and self contained, allowing for customization without the user encountering errors or dependencies.
The tool also has 6 pages of detailed documentation on the use and inner workings of the tool, a video tutorial, and 3 possible installation methods (also detailed in the documentation and tutorial). The goal was to make a "user proof" tool that allowed even an entirely inexperienced user to install, manage, and create a wide range of simple, highly customizable field effects without trouble. The user only needs to drag and drop the blueprint into place, then play with the parameters to their hearts content until they're happy with the effect.

Several variations made using just assets on hand, without even needing to create custom textures
