Blue Whale UE4 with Spline System  

This Blue Whale for Unreal 4 comes with a procedural spline animation system that produces dynamic acceleration, turning and rolling along splines. The Whale’s mouth optionally opens when it nears the player, and/or animates intermittently on its own. The package includes 2 swimming animations (slow & fast), an idle animation, a mouth-open idle animation, and 2 Turning Poses included in a Blendspace which can be used if you wish to create a controllable character. The Spline animation system uses a Blendspace 1D to animate the whales swimming speed, and uses blueprint functions to rotate bones along the spline.

It comes with 4 LODs, Dry & Wet Materials, a Physics asset set up for ragdoll effects, and a large range of blueprint settings allowing maximum customization. The Material parent has been planned in advance to allow maximum tweaking so you can adjust your material instances with complete control. Additionally, a demo scene has been included with Underwater PostProcess Settings, Caustic Lighting, Fog, & Depth of Field, along with many Whales, demonstrating what can be accomplished with the Whale’s Spline Blueprint.

FBX formats include 2nd UV Channel for Lightmapping. OBJ Format includes all LOD levels in base poses, and 4 additional poses:

• tail up with mouth open & closed
• tail down with mouth open & closed.
