Cartoony Animation - UE5 GPU Deformers (Sculpt and Lattice)

Learn to create cartoony squash and stretch animation effects in Unreal Engine 5 using powerful GPU Deformers that add cosmetic and dynamic changes to skeletal meshes. Discover how to use the Sculpt Deformer with its localized sphere and handle system to generate fun, cartoony impact effects on characters. Master the Lattice Deformer for warping and skewing characters within a controlled box environment, and explore the Camera Space Lattice technique for creating camera-perspective squash and stretch effects. Understand the proper timing for applying these deformation effects late in the animation process to achieve professional cartoony animation results. Access the A-COM Animation Sample project to practice these techniques hands-on while following along with this 11-minute tutorial from Unreal Engine's official channel.
