Animation Exporter Demo
FBX Exporter for Animations
Export animated fbx files with a single button.
This tool will save your file, bake the animation, delete extra items (controls and constraints), create a material for the mesh, and export the mesh, skeleton, and texture to
a single file with the specified name.
Features an editable default file path, and can use the name of the current open file as the export name.
Built for exporting animated meshes with matching skeletons for Unreal Engine.

Guard Rail Spline tool built for Unreal 4 Engine built from scratch.
Deforms based on spline points. The post spacing can be customized via a variable.
The end caps can end up in weird places based on the end of the spline points, but I have included location sliders to quickly and easily offset placement issues.
Wind Material Function built in Unreal 4.
Noise and masking parameters for use with different types of foliage. The hiccups in the video are manual, real-time Unreal Slider changes.
