Hello,
I use Houdini Engine for Maya and it can import almost anything created in Houdini : particles, volumes, etc.
With Houdini Engine for Unreal, it does not seem the same. In this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dF7yHULxgDk [www.youtube.com] , Danny needs to install an additional plugin "Houdini Niagara". Then he needs to rebuild the whole material in Houdini. I guess it could be more simple?
So what can be imported in Unreal via Houdini Engine? Particles? Volumes? Fluids? And do I need to rebuild the material each time?
Thanks
Gz
What can be exported from Hou to Houdini Engine in Unreal?

-Static Meshes
-Instancers and Foliage

Thanks Matt.
My question was: why are outputs so different from Houdini Engine for Maya? If we compare Unreal outputs and Maya outputs, it's very different:

GrendizerThese are two different DCC applications which support different file formats and encourage different workflows to achieve results.
Thanks Matt.
