Importing path animation to UDK? (escalator)
Hello there. I've been working on an escalator to put in UDK and I decided to animate it. I never do animation stuff so I don't know how to get the animation to work inside UDK. Right now my escalator has 19 steps, and I animated all of them using a path I had placed earlier and then just setting it to "Path Constraint"… -

Well, I was able to export it as one mesh by placing one dummy for each step, animating them and then creating a mesh with all the steps and doing some skin weighting. It works, but now the issue is that I want the character to be moved automatically but the way the collision works barely lets me do it :( -

Hey Hourences, thanks for the reply! I was thinking about using matinee but, as you said, I was a bit worried that having so many drawcalls would be bad, and overall be a bit messy. But alas, just importing the animation isn't working because of the collisions, so I will try what you suggested. Thanks!! -
Re: Importing path animation to UDK? (escalator)
I would have done it all in UDK. Skel animations are heavy and offer little control for things like collision like you just found out. Interpactors render much more efficiently, though would in this case lead to more drawcalls which perhaps offsets the speed won, and allow for more precise collisions. It would take about…
