Epic Games has unveiled a comprehensive sample project for Unreal Engine 5.5’s Mutable plugin, offering developers an in-depth exploration of its dynamic capabilities. Mutable facilitates the real-time generation of dynamic skeletal meshes, materials, and textures, streamlining the creation of customizable characters and adaptable in-game assets.
The sample project encompasses:
- Character Customization: Modify elements such as clothing, hair, makeup, tattoos, and stickers.
- Weapon Customization: Swap parts and alter colors or patterns.
- Showcase Level: An interactive environment to explore Mutable’s features.
- Infinite Level: Generate a random crowd in real-time to assess performance.
Developers can access this sample project through the Fab platform. For those seeking guidance, Epic Games provides a series of tutorials detailing the use of Mutable’s modular toolset.
Introduced as an experimental feature in Unreal Engine 5.1, Mutable has evolved to beta status in version 5.5, reflecting Epic Games’ commitment to enhancing real-time customization in game development. Source: Github Wiki
