Replace Animations

Custom animations can be assigned in ABP_Werewolf, located in Dary_Palasky/Werewolf/Animation.

Inside this Animation Blueprint, you will find separate locomotion systems for the human form and the werewolf form. Replace the animations separately for each form.

Replace the animations in Main States, Locomotion, BS_Werewolf_WalkRun, and BS_MM_WalkRun.

Live Link Face Setup

Before using Live Link Face, make sure the Apple ARKit and Apple ARKit Face Support plugins are enabled. These plugins are required for proper facial tracking functionality.

Required ARKit plugins
Required Plugins

Open ABP_Werewolf. The AnimGraph already contains two configured Live Link nodes: Human LiveLink and Werewolf LiveLink. To connect Live Link Face, assign your Live Link Subject Name to both nodes. Switching between human and werewolf facial animation happens automatically through the SK_Werewolf parameter.

Customize the Transformation

The transformation system is driven by Timeline Material Long/Fast and Timeline Morph Long/Fast. These timelines control clothing dissolve, hair dissolve, fur growth, eye transformation, tail appearance, skeletal morphing, and other transformation stages.

Each parameter in Timeline Material Long and Timeline Morph Long uses predefined curve assets in Dary_Palasky/Werewolf/Curves. By editing these curves, you can fully customize the visual progression of the transformation.
