Video Tutorial: Migrating Foliage Interaction

This Alien Swamp landscape features a vast bio-luminescent grassland teeming with strange and wonderful plants!

It is game-ready, with interactive physics foliage, grass that lights up with your footsteps, particle effects and more!

The package includes 21 Static Meshes:

• 4 Fungi Meshes
• 3 Ferns
• 1 Grass Mesh
• 3 Rocks
• 3 Roots (2 Types)
• 2 Shrubs
• 4 Trees (2 Types)

Physics Plant Blueprint

The Physics Plant Spawner Blueprint is to be placed within your player pawn blueprint, and will automatically detect any of the interactive Alien plants that have been painted with Unreal's foliage tool. When an Alien ground plant is detected within the radius of this blueprint, it will automatically switch it with a Plant Physics blueprint which the player can interact with. When the player stops touching and moves too far away from the plant, it will switch back to being an instanced foliage actor, preserving your game's performance!

Procedural Fungi Rock Blueprint

This Fungi Rock Blueprint positions a number of Fungi Meshes on a rock mesh, and automatically orients the fungi to be level with the world, regardless of rock rotation. It also Randomizes each fungi mesh.

Footstep Sound Effects

This pack comes with loads of footstep sound effects, which are hooked up to the Mannequin Animation Blueprint.

The Mannequin Blueprint detects the Phyical Material under the player and will play the appropriate footstep sound effect accordingly.

There are 29 Footstep sounds, which include the following themes:

• Dirt
• Grass
• Mud
• Water Shallow
