Is it reasonable to create a procedural mesh like this growing tree generated by an LSystem into UE4? I believe HDA's are for baking static meshes in the editor. So would I use FBX/Alembic animation? Or will that be impossible to texture/UV nicely anyway?
Just looking for some basic direction or if I should abort this mission and try something more realistic.
Thanks

I managed to do this by exporting an Alembic file from Houdini…and then importing Alembic into UE4 using a Geometry Cache input setting. So fun!
This video helped me understand why Alembic is so powerful and perfect for this kind of mesh deformation:
