What you get is a Non-Destructive Easy to Implement Blueprint Based Footprint System with Comprehensive Control! Marketplace Link [HR][/HR]
[HR][/HR]
Using this system, the only other Blueprints you are going to touch is that of your characters, where you will only need to add arrow components depending on how many feet you have. It isn’t restricted on the amount, which means it can be human, horse, or a centipede. There is no need to add stuff in the animation Blueprint or elsewhere! Non-Destructive!
In the animations of your character, you assign the custom made animation notify on the specific times the feet touch the ground. It might sound tiresome, but you have more control and can use this system in other ways! (E.g. When in combat or other situations). Easy to Implement!
And now the fun part! Of course you can add sound, particles, and simple decals but more complex decals that are intensity based or have motion (E.g. Walking on sand or expanding the decal) and even fade out is possible. Also transitioning from one material to another is included! You always are in control in every detail of its elements and every foot independently (E.g. Left foot can be normal and right foot can be a wooden leg)! Comprehensive Control!
Extra! Camera Shake for big guys!
Note:
[SPOILER] The Sounds, Particles, Decal Textures and Ground Textures included should not be used for your actual game because they are of low quality.
What i currently provide is the tool and mechanism like buying power tools to modify your home!

List of Features:
[SPOILER]
-
Sound, particles, and decals can be intensity based.
-
Sound, particles, and decals have their own uniqueness to them and set of parameters to control.
-
Decals can spawn instantly or gradually, fade out, and do transitions between materials.
-
Decals can have variations in their normal map when spawning to have diversity.
-
Landscapes make use of only PhysMats to determine the ground type.
-
Objects also use PhysMats but can be specific to materials too!!!
-
Decals work in baked and realtime lighting.
-
No weird decals on irregular angles.
-
Performance was a crucial factor all the time.
-
Experimental materials for parallax occlusion mapping and bump map decals.

How-To’s
[SPOILER]
Footprint Transition Texture
[SPOILER]
To make your own footprint transition texture, in your image-editing software you must select each channel independently and modify it.
Red Channel: The actual footprint transition design.
Green Channel: Is the roughness used for the transition material. which means its more shiny in the parts colored white.
Blue Channel: Currently isn’t used.
[/SPOILER]
Footprint Noise Variation Texture
[SPOILER]
For the footprint’s normal and transition variation, exists a 4x4 grid of random red and green noise (it can be whatever shape or design you like).
Red Channel: Random variation.
Green Channel: Random variation.
Blue Channel: Currently isn’t used.
