Check out a vector field plugin by JangaFX called VectorayGen. The tool generates vector fields in real time in a matter of seconds, so it will some your time on dealing with fluid simulations or drawing splines to get randomized vector fields. VectorayGen will let you use vector math principles to create any vector field you can think of.
Here are some UE4 videos to get you excited:
Features:
- 3D Viewport With GPU Particles and Vector Field Visualization Support
- A Plethora of Math Operators Such as Rotation, Cross Product, Translation, Randomize & More!
- Easy to Use UI and Node Graph System.
- Real-Time Vector Field Updates as You Change Vector Field Settings.
- Multiple Selection Methods to Manipulate Vector Fields.
- Intuitive Tutorials and in-software documentation.
- Presets to learn from.
- Adjustable particle spawn positions and shape.
The plugin can be used in Unreal Engine 4, Unity and other game engines that use vector fields. You can find more details on the tool and get it here.

I’m surprised to see our software on here!
One thing to point out is that our software is completely standalone and is *not* a plugin. We have a plugin for unity that lets it use vector fields from our software. VectorayGen purely generates vector fields in real time and exports them in any way you would like. We built this from the ground up to be blazing fast on modern graphics cards.
We’re working on tons of new features as well and try to update the software at least once a month!
Email me at nick@jangafx.com if anyone has any questions.
oh, man. sorry, we thought it was a plugin! sorry, we’ll follow up with an email.
Great job and very inspiring! Thanks for sharing.
Frankly I do not understand why we talk about the past of this CEO. As a player I do not care about what he did or not until his games are good. As an Environmental Artist instead I see a game with a shaky graphics. It is completely without personality, emotion and involvement. It can hardly be considered acceptable especially for the 2019 platforms (which I understand will be the target of this game). Well, this is probably an indie group, with no experience facing a first game in the real market. And that's fine. Do the best you can that even if you fail, you will learn and do better. From a technical point of view the method you are using is very old. It can work but not as you are doing it. I bet you're using Unity, it's easy to see that since I see assets from their asset store. Break your landscapes more, they are too monotonous and contact real 3D artists and level designers. One last thing, the last screenshot is worse than all the previous ones. The lights are wrong and everything screams disaster. Avoid similar disasters in the future.
But are they real or is it a mockery? or a scam? Truly horrible flat graphics and lacking a real sense of aesthetics. Ui devoid of consistency and usability. Do they really have a graphic art department? Imho in 2018 using such tricks so massively denotes profound technical incompetence.
