Hello fellow UE4 Devs! Hopefully this is in the right place & is permitted on the forums (read the rules). It’s not a UE4 plugin, its external software, but it exports directly to UE4.
My name is and I have been using UE4 since it’s release. I’m a VFX Artist at heart and I know that VFX Artists are plagued with long wait times. So I started a software company called JangaFX to create useful software and tools for VFX Artists like myself.
After months and months of hard work on VectorayGen, I’m proud to say that my team and I have finally released VectorayGen 0.15.0 (Beta)!
So what can VectorayGen do?
VectorayGen creates vector fields in real time in a matter of seconds, NOT hours. No more waiting for fluid simulations or drawing a ton of splines to get randomized vector fields.
It also allows you to use vector math principles to create any vector field you can think of. The combinations are practically infinite.
List of current features:
- 3D Viewport With GPU Particles (up to 8 million) and Vector Field Visualization Support
- Generation support of vector densities over 10 million! (10 million vectors per vector field, huge files).
- A plethora of math operators such as Delta, Rotation, Cross Product, Translation, Randomize & More!
- Easy to Use UI
- Real-Time Vector Field Updates as You Change Vector Field Settings
- Export Batches of Randomized Vector Fields so You Can Save Time
- Particle simulations that are addicting to watch* – *Feature, not a Bug
- & More!

Currently the main engine supported is Unreal Engine 4 + any internal engines at studios that can use .fga vector field files. Complete tutorials and full documentation will follow soon!
We will also be releasing a plugin in the future that extends the amount of control you have over vector fields inside of UE4: “soon”.
DISCLAIMER: The software is not finished! Think of this as early access. Therefore, you can get VectorayGen 20% off for LIFE from now until May 15th.
If you wanna purchase VectorayGen, go here! Purchase!
**If you want to try VectorayGen (Can’t export files, but can simulate particles in the viewport): Try it!
