Re: UE4 x 3Ds Max for VFX
From the little i know about when do you use 3ds max to make VFX for games is: you render out a particle simulation, then you use after effects to make the sprites out of the render and then you export them into UE4 to start making your effects.

Re: UE4 x 3Ds Max for VFX
those vfx are awesome, probably a mix of many skills went into those fx. I would start with something basic eg a campfire or an explosion of sparks. Make those look convincing and have the right movement and weight. Then work your way up to using more complex techniques eg multiple particle fx and meshes in one vfx, mesh…
