FAQ: Unreal VFX & Shaders
Do you work with Unreal Engine 5 exclusively or also UE4?
We support both. We maintain UE4 projects and are fully up-to-date with UE5 Nanite, Lumen, and Substrate material systems.
Can custom shaders break future engine updates?
We write shaders using Unreal’s material graph system rather than raw HLSL where possible, maximizing forward compatibility. Custom HLSL is documented for update resilience.
Do you optimize VFX for console performance?
Yes. All VFX systems include LOD configurations and platform-specific quality scalability settings for PS5, Xbox Series X, and previous-gen consoles.
Can VFX be driven by Blueprint or C++?
Yes. We deliver both Blueprint-ready and C++ interface-compatible VFX actors that integrate with your existing gameplay code.
How long does a custom VFX pack take?
Single hero spell VFX (5–8 effects): 2–4 weeks. Full magic system (20+ effects): 2–4 months. Environmental weather system: 3–6 weeks.
