Hi there, I simply need to study a brand new ability, and I preferred recreation VFX very a lot, So I wished to ask, What is simpler to study unity or unreal to do VFX realtime?
I personally consider that Unity as Shuriken (unity primary particle system) is far simpler than Niagara (unreal present particle system).
Unreal has blueprints although that may be simpler for non-coders.
Although working in each is de facto related at later levels, so whichever you’ll study first you must have the ability to change to the opposite moderately rapidly.

However I really feel that Graph system is harder than Niagara proper?
Shuriken particle system is just not graph primarily based (it’s the good begin with VFX)
VFX Graph is graph primarily based, however you would strive it later if you happen to really feel assured with shuriken

For my part, each are simple and sophisticated to study, it will depend upon which one you’re feeling extra comfy working in. I’d counsel you strive them each; see which one speaks to you. It’s because you’ll additionally need to work with different components of the engine you ultimately selected akin to their respective materials editor/shader graph.
In Unity, you should utilize both the Particle System to create easy results or the VFX Graph to create very advanced results whereas in Unreal you should utilize Niagara to create each easy and really advanced results. In Unreal you would want to study some easy Blueprint scripting and in Unity, you would need to study some primary coding in C#.
Nonetheless, each have their multi-track editors, Unreal/Sequencer and Unity/Timeline which you should utilize to point out off your results firstly, so coding/scripting can at all times be learnt later after you could have mastered the particle system of the engine you selected.
So watch a couple of tutorials, take a look at them each and see the one you’re most comfy in.
