VAMP 2 is an amazing, built-in Unreal Engine implementation that allows users to create Vertex Animation Textures in-editor. VAMP 2 allows grown Skeletal Mesh support with procedural Aim-Offset, compute shader animation, and high-end rendering. VAMP 2 resolves real-time animation issues with integrated Static Mesh, ISM, and HISM frameworks and animation streaming at larger scales.

Vertex Animation Manager  – explained for beginners.

• What it is: VAMP 2 allows you to animate 3D models in Unreal Engine with vertex animation textures, and it leverages animation and GPU technology.
• Why it matters: It improves the time taken for animation tasks at hand, while at the same time reducing the expense, improving the graphics quality in cinematic scenes, and providing greater and more complex scenes in gaming.
