Version 1.2 Dropped!

Check out the Changelog to see what’s new.

Why You Need This:
  • Animating aircraft in Unreal Engine can be tricky. Sure, you can key the transform of them or animate them on a rig rail, and call it a day!

  • But if you're aiming for realism with propellers, moving control surfaces, or turbulence, things get messy fast, and before you know it, you're drowning in sequencer tracks.

  • Thinking about recording gameplay with a flyable aircraft? As a cinematic artist, you might not be on the right track.

  • Cinematic Aircraft Rig can do all the heavy lifting for you! It’s a physics-free system that handles complex aircraft behavior automatically. You only need to care about when your aircraft is where, and it handles the rest!

  

What’s Included:
  • Animate any flying vehicle effortlessly: Planes, helicopters, drones, gliders, hot air balloons, parachutes, spaceships, rockets, you name it!

  • Animate on a spline path or fly freely.

  • Add any number of propellers, rotors, and blades.

  • Add any number of wheels.

  • Add any number of ailerons, elevators, and rudders, all auto-animated.

  • Simulate turbulence with adjustable roll, pitch & height vibration.

  • Perform barrel rolls, vertical loops & more.

  • Real-time visual feedback in editor & sequencer, no simulation required.

  

Spline Path Blueprint:
  • Aircraft follow a custom spline blueprint

  • Key movement using “distance traveled”

  • One-click reverse or close the path

  • Auto-loop if the distance exceeds the spline length

  

Demo Content Included:
  • A Plane rig and a hot air balloon rig with exclusive meshes
