Vertex Animation Toolkit
Plugin for Unreal Engine 5 makes it easy to turn your skeletal mesh animations into vertex animation textures (VAT), which boosts your project's performance.
It creates Vertex Textures and a Static Mesh out of Animation Sequence or Animation Composite of a Skeletal Mesh.
The plugin also automatically creates play helpers for your animations, allowing you to quickly select and manage animations using a simple index.
Designed to be user-friendly, it's intuitive whether you’re an experienced developer or just starting out.
