Breakdown: Creating VFX in Unreal Engine 4

Pawel Margacz did a breakdown video, where he shared his approach to creating two types of visual effects in UE4: cast and impact.

For this scene, he created a set up in Houdini for rigid bodies and imported them into UE4. The ground-breaking effect of the scene was made in Houdini, and the visual effects were made with the same set of elements, flash, lens, circle, and sparks with various settings.
