You can hook up a texture here if you want to use the "Result" pin. If you want to change the speed, you will need to hook up Time*Speed (scalarparameter) here. The default value here is the "Time" node. To use the flipbook textures, you must simply use the "Flipbook" material function. You must also remember to have the "Include Buffer Visualization Targets" box checked with the window still open. Rendering the Flipbook textures uses the same process as the first three functions:Ĭhoose the desired buffers from "Capture Settings", then play the game in windowed mode and type "ke * rendertextures" at the console and hit enter. It is generally a good idea to keep them fairly similar or just use one axis when possible.Īllows you to adjust the spinning speed of the preview mesh. The preview motion does not match exactly when the two axis rotations are wildly different. With this option checked, you can press the editor's "Simulate" button to see a little preview mesh that will spin with motion that is based on your rotation settings. Leave this setting alone unless you are trying to solve a specific issue as you will either lose resolution or make the mesh too large. This allows you to scale the mesh manually in case there is some edge-bleeding between frames. This is where you specify the mesh to use. The only time that this is not true is when you are using both rotation axes and want to get a crazy meandering rotation.Ĭurrently the flipbook tool only assigns one material. ![]() Normally going beyond 1 rotation would actually reduce the framerate by causing duplicating frames in the texture. The only time that this is not true is when you are using both rotation axes and want to get a crazy meandering rotation. This gets normalized so 0,0,1 is the same as typing 0,0,100. This is the axis to rotate around for rotation 2. This is the axis to rotate around for rotation 1. This is the start rotation of the flipbook animation. You will simply keep the number of rotations at 0. ![]() You must also use this option if you want to adjust the starting rotation of a material instance interpolation flipbook even if you do not want it to rotate inside the flipbook. This method relies on the user replacing every instance of the "Time" node in the asset material with the "Animation Phase" scalar parameter.īoth Mesh Rotation and Material Instance Interpolation : Does both operations. Material Instance Interpolation : This will not rotate the mesh but will instead increment a Scalar Parameter called "Animation Phase" over the 0-1 range divided between all frames. Simple Mesh Rotation : It will rotate the mesh the specified number of times along the specified axes. ![]() This is a dropdown list that lets you choose between three types of flipbook. Setting up the Flipbook Blueprint settings: To use the resulting flipbook you simply use the "Flipbook" material function. ![]() You can use them anywhere in the engine such as in a particle system. It renders a series of image as flipbook textures. Pictured: Example of leaf mesh with a few rotations It uses a series of mesh rotations but this time they are specified by user input rather than pre-set by the Blueprint. This function is similar to the Imposter sprite function.
