what did you think about Unreal Niagara presentation!
I really liked what they showed off. Niagara has a few things that are very reminiscent of Houdini:
- Modules are node based
- Geometry spreadsheet
More interestingly in the middle of the presentation it was even said that SideFX and Epic were working together and will basically have a own format that lets you export your things from Houdini and still have access to the data in Unreal thanks to that format. You can see it in the presentation.
I am happy that they kept some of their stack format. As much as i love Houdini it would not make sense to have a wanna be duplicate in Unreal. And even today you can do very cool things in cascade!
Tell us what you thought of it!
I really cant wait for the first Unreal 4.20 preview to play around with it!
