The Medieval Monks are based on the Modular Medieval NPC Characters packs. The Monks are stripped down to three different SK Item groups: costume, head, and hair. Multiple items are ready to be assembled to create your own unique spiritual medieval character.
Forum thread
Each equipment uses a master material and a mask texture, which allows you to tweak its visual appearance in detail. Each body part can be tweaked separately.
For compatibility with other asset packs (like weapon animation sets), the delivered skeletal meshes are skinned to the UE4 skeleton and main- and off-hand pivots are aligned to its hand grip. Main- and off-hand slots are also prepared in the Blueprints to receive your data.
Additionally, this pack includes some tools (no weapons) to make your monk look busy :)
The system works with Morph targets too. The hairstyle does change when a character equips a hat. The same applies for the hands when a character equips gloves.
