The Houdini Niagara Plug-in allows importing and processing of Point Cache assets in Unreal’s Niagara Visual Effects System.
The plug-in brings point cache data saved out as a JSON file into Niagara along with attributes such as age, life, id and color.
These point caches can be static or animated point clouds created using procedural modeling techniques or using Particle, FLIP Fluid or Rigid Body simulation tools.
You can even export points from Houdini’s crowd system to combine Crowd simulations with vertex animation tools.
