Supported Development Platforms:
Documentation: BP info in overview level
Notes:
- Cave meshes are 1-sided and high poly
- Blueprint tentacles have no collision
- Using Tentacles BP with "moving in game" can cause performance issues if "Use optimization" is not used. Optimization tracks players location and only moves the spline meshes if player is at chosen distance.
- Tentacles BP has 2 ways of tracking the player: Get player pawn location / tracking the material parameter location vector. MPC was used in the demo level to track the current active sequencer camera location.
- BP_vineSpline spline meshes are not moving
