Unreal Engine Crowd Setup using vertex animation textures 

This is great, I'm going to need this at some point for sure. Thanks for the new drop of videos and great work here as always!

Dude !, thankyou SO much for this tutorial , I was getting stuck with the enclosed documentation, getting this working is a massive step forward for populating my game. A very chilled and clear tutorial. Thanks

Really interesting chalk and talk tut - thanks for sharing the methodology. new sub

I searched for a VAT plugin in the Epic Marketplace but did not find anything. Was going to write one. Now I have checked out this tool and it's great. But I need to extend it because I want to have static meshes attached to sockets and bones.

This is great tutorials. I was looking for this types of solution.

great tutorial, thank u very much. u explained evrything clearly

just what i needed :D thank you so much

Does anyone know how the new AnimationToTexture plugIn in UE5, based on this by Epic, runs? I can't find the bake animation icon (or similar)? Everything else matches up fairly well?

Hi, I realize this video is a couple of years old, but when I open the example project none of the meshes have their vertex animations and I get a "Failed to load /VertexAnimToolset/VertexAnimFunctions/DecodeVectorHDR.DecodeVectorHDR Referenced by BakedBoneAnimMat". I am still running 4.27 on the project i'm working on which is the same as yours in the video.

nice! Many thanks for this - will definitely give it a go on my next project! Subbed

Exactly what I'm looking for! Autosub!

Hey there Trash Praxis, love your video explanation, very detailed and specific,, whoever made this is a genius. I am trying to use the plugin, which was recompiled for unreal engine 4.26.1, and the example project looks correct, I made a plugins folder there and added the addon so I could test it within the example project, I attempted to use this with different models, each gave the same result, unreal engine hard freezes. Oh and the model and animations were made in Blender 2.92 if that matters. If you have any input for a solution to this issue, it would be great if it were not a dead end in my project.

Great man but when i copy bluprint in content, this is not showing

How to do this in 5.3 With the new Plugin? Cannot seem to get array of different instances with random anims playing.

does this works in UnrealEngine 5.1 ?

Your Vertex Animation tutorials are amazing! I was able to combine this older tutorial with your new 5.1 one to get random people into the crowd. However, the frame offset for the animation no longer seems to work with the random people stream. Would you have any hints as to how to get that aspect to work again with the stream instead of a single static mesh? I'm also trying to offset each row of people up by a certain amount in the Z-Axis (as that will help with placing a field of these crowds on bleachers), but haven't been able to figure out how to add that function into your blueprint. If you, or anyone else have any suggestions for that, I would be most grateful!

Can anybody tell us How to import this plugin into unreal. Because it is showed failed

I hope you will make tutorial in UE5 also

Thanks for the vid, Have you figured out the reason for the choppieness yet?

Great tutorial, you earned a sub, keep doing this awesome work. Everything went great on my end, but whenever I apply the instanced material it expodes my character. Some animation is being played but it totally deforming the mesh like venom(being destroyed by sound xD ) Is there anything that I am missing?

Great man! thanks, excelent explanation. You have a new suscriptor here! =)

I wish there's a plugin like this for UE4 version 4.27.2

I'm not able to use it in UE 5.0.2 any suggestions?

hi, thank you for ur execllent work. I would like to use on my project, but I have a problem, if my skeleton tranfroms contain scale change, I wiil need to create a scale texture. Is there anyway to realize it, hope u can help me

is it for game or can we render this as well ?

Thank you for this tutorial. Is this still valid and runs in 5.3 maybe..?

Great tutorial For some reason, everytime I 'Bake Anim', the generated textures are 64x64 pixels which arent enough. I tried changing the 'overrider size bone' in the Data Asset to 0 or 1024 - still nothing. Any thoughts?

dose not work for me with unreal engine 4.27.2, any help please 🙏🙏

i download the plugin and open it but the animation is not showing like on 6:00, how can i make them work ? thanks

hello Kevin is there are a way to add more than 5 anims ???? or should i make another material for it ?

Everything’s perfect but why’s the animation glitching, the vertex anim doesn’t have a smooth animation as the fbx sequence.

Nice plugin, but тhe audience cannot be displayed in the sequencer.

What does it mean by Full Bone Skinning?

Thanks for the video, it is really amazing. But, After Rebuilding it now, it says modules are built with different engine , don't know how to fix that. Any help is appreciated.

Any chance it works with LODs?

Is it working with ue5 ?
