Intro to Unreal Engine - Part 8 - Adding Sound and Objects to Characters
In this video we learn how to attach objects such as weapons or clothing accessories to a character and its animations. To add an extra layer of quality, we also dive into how to add additional particle effects to such objects like when a gun showcases muzzle flare when being fired. And to top it off, we also look at how to attach sounds to character animations.
