Thank you for the brief introduction to those workflows. HDA is huge power and I am following the progress of houdini tools to unreal since project TITAN and the guys there explaining this methods via procedural buildings and the use of USD alongside HDA in UE. There is a long way of gamedev to walk however in order to provide the users with more stability and versatility when building up tools for UE. Ease of use fast integration is what we need alongside with what Blender Foundation might offer to the table but once done I thing the boundaries between VFX and gamedev will fall alowwing of people from different circles to work more fluently and collaborate with each other more efficiently.
