Ever felt like your stunning VFX are bringing your game to a grind? You're not alone! While Niagara has its charm for adding those jaw-dropping effects, sometimes less is more—especially on lower-end hardware. Consider implementing Effect Budgets and System Pooling to keep those frame rates high while still wowing your players. Persistent systems can offer a seamless experience, but don’t hesitate to dynamically spawn effects when the action heats up. Trust me, your players will notice the difference when the game runs smoothly. What’s your go-to strategy for balancing visuals and performance? Let's trade secrets! #GameDev #VFX #Niagara #UnrealEngine #PerformanceMatters
