I cant package a project that includes 1 Vertex Animated Texture

I’m not being able to package a project on the version 4.27 because im using Vertex Animated Textures, done in the official Vertex Animation Tool (made originally for the 4.26).

Even though there’s the usual warning saying the VAT tool was made for 4.26. Users online told me that it still works on the 4.27.

And it always worked and compiled very well in the editor. So i assumed the 4.27 was working fine.

I made a very small project, with just 1 vat in 1 cube static mesh, and hopefully someone here will tell me what is the problem.

I also tested it in the 4.26. And in the 4.26 it packages/builds well.

If in any case nobody finds a solution to make this work on the 4.27, should i remake my project from scratch on the 4.26 ? Or maybe just go for UE5.1 ?
Is VAT working properly on the UE5.1 ?

Hey @SophiaWolfie :smiley:

so it could just be an error produced by the version number. Go into your project folder in your explorer, go to Plugins, go to VertexAnimToolset

\Plugins\VertexAnimToolset

and then open the VertexAnimToolset.uplugin file with notepad.

Change

"EngineVersion": "4.26.0",

to

"EngineVersion": "4.27.0",

and try again :slight_smile:
