    I find this interesting. Node based moduluar particle system in UE:

    Parameters are exposed with nodes and can be changed.

    Unity is getting something similar, oh yes :) Though I wasnt at GDC myself so had to glean limited info from twitter!

    The twitter posts in question (first one has a short video) :

    This is right up my street, and I love this sort of thing so much that I am likely to try both the Unity and UE4 offerings in this space, though Unity is my true love, in great part due to excellent (and relatively easy) compute shader support.
