The repository for the tutorial about how to make rats similar to the upcoming [A Plague Tale](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bevqtZ0bXt0 "A Plague Tale: Innocence - Gameplay Overview Trailer | PS4"). The tutorial is covering several topics which including:

- Quick rigging and animating for VFX.
- Use Unreal's Vertex animation script, tools, shader nodes and pipeline.
- Getting familiar with Niagara system.
- Creating Mesh particles using Niagara
- Creating and extending Niagara Behaviors with new custom Modules/Scripts
- Creating and exposing Niagara variables to the gameplay
- Putting all togther into playable thing!

# Tutorial: #
There are two version of the tutorial, pick the one fits you the most, or even get the best with both of them!

- **[Short Tutorial](https://youtu.be/Iksf1MDXyK0 "Watch on Youtube")**, _~10 minutes_, which including the main steps, guidelines, the breakdown of the method and highlighting the core tips of the process.
- **[Full Tutorial](https://youtu.be/s5OuVdjYteI "Watch on Youtube")**, _~37 minutes_, which including every single detail about the process starting from getting the mesh, ending up with the entire map full of 50k reactive rats!

# Todo list: #
Those are extension goals, things that I'll be working on every time I get free moment, not neccessarly to be explained in videos, but they are more to show more unreal tricks, and to expand that system to the infinity and beyond!!

- <del>Shine the rats eyes at night with emission color.</del>
- Base the rats movement on the player movement direction.
- Make sample with some random in-place movement behavior.
- Make sample that is based on the light torches mechanic (run when player only have light).
- GPU simulated sample with higher rats count! let's target 100k!
- GPU based collision detection for walls.
- Different formations for the groups to avoid having them always in squares or rectangles.
- Add different sound variations.

# Disclaimer #

This is a side experimentation project, was built and set fully free for anyone to use, but don't forget to mention that if it was worthy for you. The original idea of those awesome rats are belongs to the creators of the game (A Plague Tale), and all the credits goes to their effort in crafting their amazing game with the power of Unreal Engine!
