Autobots arrival in Unreal 5.8. These are 2 separate sims - the meteor trail and the impact. Just one of many new 5.8 lessons I'll be adding to the Unreal Megabundle in a few weeks.

Unreal Engine's built-in VFX system, Niagara, can be used to create cinematic effects that run completely in real-time.
In this example focused on Automotive visualization, Jesse Pitela(@RedefineFX) is layering thousands of GPU particles for snow flakes, meshes for ice chunks, and a Niagara Fluids smoke simulation on top, to show the car interacting with its environment❄️

In this updated version of my burnout setup, the cherry leaves are advected by the smoke. I also finally added tire marks and fixed the smoke losing detail in extreme slow-mo.
