Is there a way to create a procedural mesh from a skeletal mesh in my character BP?

[BradRussellGames]

I’m trying to set up a custom event that takes the skeletal mesh on the current frame and create a procedural mesh as a copy in the same pose. Is this possible in blueprints or do I need to use C++?

Hey there @BradRussellGames! Welcome back to the community! I believe most of the procedural mesh suite is only available in C++. This thread is a bit dated, but should still point you in the right direction:

Is there a way to do this in C++? I’ve found a couple of things that explain something similar but can’t quite work it out. Basically I want to have a procedural mesh that is an exact copy of the skeletal mesh, including animations and morphs, and have it updating at runtime. It should also have collision. I don’t mind if this will be expensive, it will only be used for one or 2 meshes.
