[Tutorial Preview] Gore Mesh & Dismemberment Tutorial

[anonymous_user_9257d68e]

@TheReaper_666666 , have a look at this.

Link seems to 404 now. Reupload?

@Ixiguis

This is no longer needed, as the engine now has the function “Break constraint” which does the same.

@Chosker

Break Constraint only separates two bodies from a PhysicsAsset. the plugin from might no longer be needed, but a solution to handle the rest is still wanted

Hope this helps.

Edit: oh ive seen you know it already.

I didn’t expect the level of interest in this. I’ve gone ahead and created a plugin that gives Blueprint users the ability to do bone breaks.

You can download it here:

To install it, just create a folder called “Plugins” in your project folder (if it doesn’t have one already) and then unzip that and drag the BoneBreak folder into the Plugins folder. The plugin adds two new blueprint nodes:

The Bone Break node does the actual… well… bone break, in case that wasn’t obvious. The first two pins are required. The first pin is the skeletal mesh to perform the bone break on. The second pin is the name of the bone to break off. If you want to apply force to the bone as it breaks, you can populate Impact Location and Force using data. You likely want to calculate this based on Hit Result data. The final boolean is experimental and untested, but allows you to ragdoll the broken part of the mesh. This is for situations where you break off a bone like the upper arm. There are two joints that make up the arm that you may want to be controlled by the physics system. Setting this to true should cause that to happen.

If you need the location of a bone for any reason, you can use the second node this plugin adds: the Get Bone Location node. It takes a skeletal mesh and bone name and returns a vector identifying that bones location in world space.

Let me know if you have any problems with it. It has both editor and game binaries for Windows & Mac plus game binaries iOS and Android, but it has not been extensively tested.

Note: This should work on Mac and Windows, both in editor and game binaries are include. I’ve also included, but not tested, iOS and Android game binaries. I have not included either editor or game binaries for Linux - sorry - but the source code is included.

Can you send a new link, plis? It is down

Im a complete newbie but I’m interested in the same stuff. Any updates yet?!

what about project ill?! His Dismemberment looks dope!
is it voxel based or does he use the new cloth simulation for skin? After the shotgun shot in the zombie shoulder, the arm first still hang on a string of skin before falling apart?!

greetings and good work guys

@Chosker @n00854180t y’all still around? I come from the future and am trying to figure out this partial skin weight problem. Does anyone know if this “Slice Skeletal Mesh” thing from the marketplace works without skin stretching? It looks like it warns against using organic material.

[Chosker]

Im still around but never looked into this topic again as I have no need for it currently, and didnt try any marketplace thingies

[n00854180t]

Probably the reason it warns against using organic characters for slicing is because the cuts will be flat/smooth.

That said I never came up with a good way to accurately fill the holes that my method created without manually creating extra meshes and weighting them to the character, which wasn’t suitable in the case of morphs without having to also make morphs for every wound mesh.

Slice Skeletal Mesh is probably your best bet though and what I’d so is just make it so that after the slice happens you add some gore bits and stuff to the capped part.

@Chosker @n00854180t I appreciate the help anyway! This thread helped me wrap my head around what should really be going on behind the scenes. I made it here by reading a forum which was talking about Chosker’s tutorial (404’d now) for Alt Bone Influences in UDK. Thanks for staying committed to helping the community
