DTL Unreal Engine Demo Project

On This Page

This page gives an overview of the DTL Demo Project. Aside from demoing the featues and capabilities of DTL converted characters, the purpose of the project is to give a place where users can import their own figures, configure and then test them before migrating into their own projects.

Demo Project Maps

There are three demo maps in the project that demonstrate the above assets.
The maps are also useful for testing converted characters before migrating to your own project.

  • Control Rigs and Realtime Morphing demo level with working examples. Used for testing preconfigured DTL functionality
  • Third person demo level converted to use the DTL placeholder figure. Used for testing player character locomotion
  • Sequencer demo level complete with the DTL placeholder figure and playable sequence. Used for testing a character in Sequencer
