In this tutorial, I'll show you how to use the AnimToTexture plugin in Unreal Engine 5 to create animated materials for any mesh. This technique allows you to bake animations into textures, making it perfect for optimizing performance while keeping the animation quality intact. Best of all, there's no visible difference between the original animation and the texture-based one!
This method also works seamlessly with Niagara particles, enabling dynamic effects for real-time projects like VFX, characters, and more! 🚀
