Thank you!
About cascade and niagara - there is a lot can be said. But in short - the main adantage in Niagara is its flexibility and scalability. It’s not only a tool for VFX authoring, but a system for making this tools by yourself. With great ability to data exchange between all stages. Cascade is just a rigid tool with a number of limitations. In Niagara if you need something - you with great chance can build it yourself.
And I just recommend to watch great videos from Epic channel - they are very good for understanding what is going on.

i am beginner for Unreal and Cascade and in want to learn about RTVFX more… i like this art and it’s amazing. but i think i am overwhelmed with Unreal :))
the main downside, is that it doesn’t work just yet.

Maybe consider making a video tutorial! Your knowledge is a goldmine! even if you want to make an art station payed tutorial I would pay for this absolutely! But please consider do.
Hi!
Made a candle flame for a personal project.
Also made a video with the process.
It is a real time material in Unreal Engine so decided to post it here.

Very cool! Love the method to make the candle wax! Why not try a VAT or ABC and do a timelapse of it melting in ue4
Thanks! VAT totally can be done, but just was not the goal. =)
