Hello,
I have successfully managed to get animated flip mesh export to UE4 using VAT. Could anyone tell me though, how to get motion blur to work on the mesh?
Cheers,
Beny
How to get motion blur to work in UE4 on flip from Labs VAT?

The mesh has changing point count, so won't work this way, right?
I would imagine I need to have velocities read from Houdini, write them into some channel (I used color), and then apply them in UE4 using “Previous Frame Switch”. This setup works if instead of a Color brought from the “VAT Material Function” node I use color constant - eg. I use vector 0,0,10 which blurs very nicely my points upwards.
But whenever I use the exported Color being my velocities from Houdini nothing happens. Even when I crank up the values 1000x still the blur is none.
I must be missing some step.

Okay. I think I have something working, but I suspect the resolution of the motion vector field in UE4 is still causing issues.
I've copied v into Cd, but remember to swap the Y and Z channels.
And then in the material function add your changes. The color needs to be sampled in the vertex shader and if you do it outside the material function it gets confused with the fragment shader in this case.

Thanks for this;
where do you put the wrangle thats throwing the vectors into the Cd?

Hi, I'm using Unreal 5 and I'm not quite sure where to plug my velocity texture into the material. The only way to have motion that I found was to use this setup but I have weird horizontal lines of motion blur. Does somebody know how to have clean motion blur with my velocity texture?
