Hi, I’m trying to learn some VFX and I found 2 videos

Unreal 5.1 - Creating cinematic VFX from scratch. Chapter 4: Ground destruction

VFX Lightning Mesh using Houdini

One video is with Niagara and the other uses VFX meshes in the Niagara.
I just want your opinion what I should use for VFX or maybe both, I liked the result in the 2 video, but he doesn’t explain how to set up the VFX assets in the Niagara system. Hopefully you can help me to choose, because I don’t want to learn something I will never use.
