IlluGen → UE5 | Building Real-Time VFX Assets from Scratch

Howdy folks! :wave:

Creating this thread as a natural extension of the blog post I wrote about IlluGen as a Real-Time VFX artist. If the blog was the “here’s how the tool fits into a production pipeline” overview, this is the hands-on companion to it — concrete assets, start to finish, IlluGen straight into UE5 in one go.

Each video covers a specific asset type: simulation in IlluGen, export, then live in Niagara. No detours. Just the pipeline.

Videos so far:

#01 — Butterfly Flipbooks :arrow_forward: https://youtu.be/gfbzA85llqE

#02 — Growing VAT Roots :arrow_forward: https://youtu.be/Bw9lQ0iHZ5U

More coming. Requests welcome — drop them below and I’ll work them into the series.

Tagging @JangaFX as their tools are just awesome.
