The Vertex Animation Toolkit Plugin for Unreal Engine 5 enables developers to convert skeletal mesh animations into vertex animation textures (VAT), improving project performance. The plugin generates vertex textures and static meshes from animation sequences, animation composites, or animation montages. It automatically creates play helpers, allowing quick selection and management of animations via a simple index. Designed for ease of use, it is intuitive for both experienced developers and beginners. Key features include creating and baking VAT from animation sequences, composites, or montages; support for multiple LODs; support for instanced static meshes and hierarchical instanced static meshes; automatic vector calculation for better anti-aliasing; flexible and easy material setup; material and runtime helper functions; and support for high-density meshes.
