GDC: Programmable VFX with Unreal Engine’s Niagara

Epic Games has introduced tons of new things at this year’s GDC which will define the future of the engine.

Have you had a chance to attend some UE talks at this year’s GDC? Epic Games has introduced tons of new things which will define the future of the engine. The team, for example, has presented a new Unreal  VFX editor called Niagara. The toolkit is said to give full control over rendering, particle simulation, performance, and more. Check out a recording of a session from the event on the tool to learn more?

Join us for a first look at Epic Games’ new Unreal Engine VFX editor, Niagara. This new suite of tools is built from the ground up to provide unprecedented power to content creators looking for total control over particle simulation, rendering, and performance. We’ll look at the foundational technology behind Niagara, discuss the paradigm shift in how we work and interact with VFX simulation, show a fully programmable pipeline from start to finish, and dissect some example effects that wouldn’t have been possible without this completely new set of tools.
