Sharing our progressive morph Script with the community

Unreal 4 does have progressive morphing via way of the Alembic format. You animate any object at the object level or vertex level and export/import into UE4 and the importer will create an individual target for each frame animated. Better still it even imports the animation take used to make the transform.

Just saying

Other than work for offline non realtime renders/cutscenes or TV/film production requirements, Alembic is sadly useless or impractical in actual video game production pipeline or workflow, maybe good for some Debris FX assets here and there. This script was created to address realtime in-game character aniamtion requirements which need progressive morphs and exported via FBX format.

Edit: Then again last I checked anything with Alembic+UE4 was 3 years ago, unless something drastically changed since then.
