Industrial machinery simulation - possible?

Probably the best thing to do would be to try and animate it in another program, you can export animation like that without using bones, just make sure that it’s all linked to a common root object before you export to UE4 and in the Import options check the Import Rigid Animations box.

For anything that needs to actually be simulated, like cloth physics then you would need to figure out how to do that in the engine. At some point you would be able to do your cloth physics animation in your 3D program and export to UE4 using vertex animation, but it UE4 won’t support that for a while.

Thanks for the tips

Mmmhh…so using something like Apex cloth is not even an option for what I’ve described? I never used it inside UE but I saw some tutorials and look not so difficult to implement those into UE.

One major problem regarding doing everything inside my 3d app is that later on I have a unique mesh which could not be separated, so if I need to setup for example the machine speed to change it’ll be difficult…mmhh…I think I need to start testing everything out
