Character Wound System
This system uses a blood mask (texture) used to create blood effects in your characters, you can shoot/hit them in animation or in ragdoll mode. No c++ required, it uses a SceneCapture2D to render the blood mask texture only when a new hit is requested, it have no extra performance cost and no additional draw calls when not adding new hits.
Features:
Full body damage system for characters, while playing animations or in ragdoll mode
Uses a texture mask, so it's easy to implement your own blood shaders
All blueprint, no C++ required
Number of Blueprints: 1
Input: Gamepad, Keyboard, Mouse
Network Replicated: No
There are assets created by Epic: Yes
Supported Development Platforms: Windows, Linux
Documentation: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TM0w9nkT-RDTlqHT99oKisSjsWpBNHHFLqGaqkLITpg
Important/Additional Notes:
It uses a "SceneCapture2D" for rendering the hit location and an additional "Render Material to RenderTarget" for dilating the blood mask for removing possible UV seams. It only renders when you request a new hit in the mesh, the character shader doesn't have any additional performance cost other than just having an extra texture in your material.
It requires your mesh to have a second UV (lightmap UV) that have a full body UV with no overlaping UVs for the blood mask to work. (you need to be able to edit your mesh UVs in a DCC software like Blender or Maya)
