This project is a True First-Person Movement Template I created for Unreal Engine 5. It serves as an example of how to set up a real first-person system using Layered Blend Poses along with a dynamic flashlight setup. Many developers ask how to properly separate arm or item movements from the main body animation—this template demonstrates a simple and easy-to-understand solution.

In addition to the blend poses, the template includes a basic Hand Sway system that provides natural hand movement. The hands and flashlight react to mouse input as well as keyboard movement input, allowing the flashlight to move smoothly and naturally with the player.

Please note:
This template is not 100% replicated, as it is meant to be an example project. Some features have been intentionally removed or simplified to keep the focus on the core elements:

Layered Blend Poses for separate arm/flashlight movement
Natural hand sway
Mouse- and movement-based input reaction

Engine Version: 5.3

This project is intended purely as input/reference, giving developers a clear idea of how such a system can be built and adapted for their own projects.
