Hi, I’m trying to make muzzle flashes and I want to import some effects but I didn’t find anywhere if common vfx that you find in internet (like the ones for photoshop,after effects and similar) are compatible with UE4, if not can you tell me please which program,or type of file I should use to make and import my custom effects?
What kind of effects are these? If they’re flip book effects you should just need to import your Sprite sheet into your project folder. If you have your own effects let me know what file types they are and I can try and help you more.
I don’t have effects right now I just need to know which formats ue4 supports. For example If I download a muzzle flash effect for after effect can I import that in ue4?
No. If you’re trying to use AE to make your effects the best way would be to render out your effect frame by frame and then create a sprite sheet and use that in unreal. And you would just import that as a .png and run it through cascade with a dynamic node. Try opening up the p_explosion particle effect in the starter content in UE4 and look at the materials they use in there and how they set it up should help you out quite a bit.
thanks again i’ll try this out
