Unreal Engine Tutorial - Vertex Animation

Edit: this is now available as a Tier 1 reward on my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GhislainGir

This is a demonstration on how to create simple vertex animation in Unreal Engine to create a very cheap flock of birds. This technique may not give the most realistic result but it's the cheapest and worth knowing.

It's a simple way to add an insane amount of animated objects in your scene with great performance. Great to improve vistas with distant flock of birds, create swarm of insects, fishes and so on.

Final material created during the tutorial.

The bird mesh's normals were edited to encode the wing left/right direction.
