Today we're comparing using material shader tricks versus traditional animation blueprints to animate flies in our Unreal Engine scene. We find out how much more performant the material shader method is, by loading a scene with hundreds of objects and benchmarking the performance results. We also show you how to implement the material shader animation in the UE4 Material Editor using the RotateAboutAxis and WorldPositionOffset methods. Finally, we use the UE4 Profiler to inspect which functions are executing in the game and render threads, and how long they take to run.
