Additional Notes:

• It is a new implementation for the rendering modules of Cascade ParticleSystem, rendered as a UMG widget.
• It technically supports version 4.18~5.0.
• Because of the limited Instancing support of Slate, the particles are rendered directly without instancing. That is why mesh rendering is not valid.
• Only Camera-Facing orientation is implemented for Ribbon particles because I thought it was enough.
• This plugin is designed to avoid using of RenderTargets. So NEITHER GPUParticles NOR Posteffects are supported. If you need bloom, you should use a RenderTarget with a ParticleSystem spawned in the world instead of this plugin.
