Using Animated Mesh Devices

The Animated Mesh device provides a way for creators to play animations on skeletal meshes (FBX files) with FBX animation files in Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN). Think of it as creating a new actor for players to interact with.

For example:

  • Create a boss for players to fight at the end of a level.
  • Create a new NPC that players can interact with.
  • Move or animate a prop.
  • Create special animations to use in conjunction with the Cinematic Sequence device to create a cutscene between levels.

The device memory depends on the referenced animation sets.
