Modular Character Component UE4

MODULAR CHARACTER COMPONENT by Major Smashbox

IMPORTANT: Follow these install instructions exactly. I had to remove the free marketplace content from this asset, so you need to re-add it in a certain way so the variable and file associations don't break.

Edit: I now also have a support Discord server - Use this as point of contact if you have any feedback or issues.

The Modular Character Component is a compartmentalized approach to managing the mess of data that comes with so many possible variations. With Epic's release of the new permanently free July 2020 Modular Stylized Character Kit by ROCKETARTS, I have adapted the MCC to work with the free content.

I have also created a 3.5 hour tutorial on creating the Modular Character Component from scratch, as I feel learning to make something can often be more important than just being given it. But in this case I leave the choice up to you:)

But on to what the asset does. The Modular Mesh Component:

- is 100% BP, so can be migrated to another project.

- Stores the current mesh data for each modular part of the character.

- Provides Helper functions for randomization.

- Uses weighting to reduce/remove unwanted variations

-Stores all the variations (meshes, materials) in an ordered fashion

- Can be added to other actors, such as item pickups.

- Compartmentalized design means it should be easier to integrate into projects


Frequently Asked Question:

At prices this low, do you have brain damage?
Possibly. I have my reasons though.

In fact;

If you have ever answered a gamedev related question online or made a tutorial, free asset or the like, consider this my way of saying thank you. This asset would not exist if not for the free tutorials that taught me how to use Unreal Engine.
