Create Wind Animation in UE4.26 from Vertex Paint in Blender

In this video we'll use vertex paint in Blender to define the areas of the mesh that we'd like to have be affected by the wind in UE4.26. Then we'll jump into Unreal Engine and set up a simple material graph to animate the desired geometry.

There is the newer way to export from Blender to UE4. Send to unreal addon for Blender from Epic! You use the pipeline to export directly into your projects! :D

Its a bit counterintuitive when masking everything in white to not move but as long as people understand the concept its fine

[@SnapLaunch]

Agreed :)

Thanks!

[@HDico2013]

AAAAAAAAh you have to plug in ZERO (0) into the lerp node and vertex colours go into alpha.... Jeeeesuuuus :D Thanks man! Much appreciated.

[@SnapLaunch]

Glad to help! Crush it! :D

i vertex painted with Red and Green instead of White and Black, is there any difference for me to make?

[@ahi6315]

is there a way to apply cloth simulation inside unreal on that part of a mesh I know there is an option for characters?

[@SnapLaunch]

Does this approach achieve what you're after? Cheers, Ben

[@ahi6315]

@@SnapLaunch Thanks, I see. I guess you need skeletal mesh in order to apply this option, so I could rig the chair and then apply cloth simulation? will the result be the same as in your method?

[@momomadi2]

u can also paint from inside unreal

[@SnapLaunch]

Thanks mido :)
