@FortniteGame destruction system got a massive upgrade. The FX team has been focused for awhile. Massive re-factor to core system, that touched every world asset in the game. It's all procedural Niagara driven. Not only better quality, but fewer assets to manage!

The beauty of this is, no pre-fracturing of meshes. It's all managed via Mats, Niagara, and BP. The system is also fed a vector to determine which direction and velocity to launch debris, by impact location and damage type.

The @FortniteGame team crushed it with @marshmellomusic today. So proud of our FX team, always pushing ourselves to go to the next level.

Zero point flower. Makes me happy to work and collaborate with creatives who want to go for some fresh visuals. So many folks really going deep to pull all the parts together for the S16 opener. Amazing work!
