Unreal Pedestrian System - Part 5 [Realistic Pedestrian Characters]
🕑 Added 2020-12-14 17:15:36 +0000 UTCThis is the part 5 of the mini series I am doing on a pedestrian system in unreal engine. So far we have implemented a pedestrian system which dynamically spawns and maintain a pool of pedestrian npc characters around the player walking area with a dynamic navigation system to support a huge game world. Today, I am going to replace the epic default mannequin character with some realistic looking human character models so the pedestrian system would look even better and ready to be used in a actual game.
To have realistic looking character models, you have to download this character asset pack (free) from unreal marketplace and copy "Scanned3DPeoplePack" fold3er into this project before opening the project.

Awesome! Are you by any chance planning on implementing ALS system with the pedestrians? I think that would be so cool

Yes, you can dynamically change movement speed or use different anim bp for each different mesh

Good idea. I'll see what I can do

This has been a great series. Curious if you could build from this into a locomotion side of things. Think Assassin Creed when you run into someone(or walk) and nudge them, but in this case thinking more wide scale the NPC's running from a source commotion, and avoiding one another instead of clipping or otherwise. Say an explosion goes off and they're walking then react instead of ... walking without a care. :)
