Dive into a world of marine elegance with our Manatee asset. Crafted to capture the essence of these gentle giants, it brings an unparalleled level of naturalism and serenity to your aquatic environments.
Procedural Spline-based Animation:
This Manatee asset is equipped with an advanced procedural spline animation system, expertly engineered to create dynamic and fluid movements. It enables the Manatee to accelerate, turn, and roll along splines with a lifelike grace and agility.
Material Variations:
Each Manatee is distinct, thanks to procedural material variations. Enjoy an array of textures, from moss-covered to various shading levels, randomly generated for each Blueprint instance.
Animations:
Included are essential animations – an idle animation, a fluid swimming motion, and three distinct poses. These are integrated into a Blendspace, creating a seamless transition between movements for your Manatee.
Optimized for Performance:
With four levels of detail (LODs) and a suite of adjustable blueprint settings, this asset is optimized for performance, ensuring smooth integration into any project.
Interactive Demo Scene:
Discover the asset’s potential in our interactive demo scene. It showcases underwater post-process settings, caustic lighting effects, fog, and depth of field. Multiple Manatees navigate preset paths, illustrating the capabilities of the Spline Blueprint.
