🚀 5-Minute Quick Setup Guide

One page to get your first professional flesh deformation result.

Step 1: Create Asset

Create a dedicated data asset to store your deformation parameters.

Action: Right-click in the Content Browser → Miscellaneous → FleshRing Asset.

Pro Tip: For larger projects, we recommend organizing your assets in a dedicated folder, such as Deformers or FleshRing_Data.

Action: Double-click your new asset to open the editor and locate the Details Panel.

Setup: Assign your character's skeletal mesh to the Target Skeletal Mesh property.

Place a compression point onto your character's bone hierarchy.

Action: In the Skeleton Tree panel, right-click the desired bone (e.g., thigh_l) → Add Ring to [BoneName].

Refinement: Choose the influence mode that best fits your workflow:

SDF Mode (Mesh-based): Assign a static mesh for high-precision, shape-matching deformation.
Virtual Mode (Ring/Band): Define compression zones with parameters, no custom mesh required.

Right-click a bone → "Add Ring”

Select a ring mesh, or click "Skip Mesh" for Virtual Mode

Action: Tweak Tightness Strength and Bulge Intensity in the Details panel.

Visual Check: Use the Debug Visualization (Heatmaps) to verify the deformation zone in real-time.

Finalize the deformation and deploy it to your character.

Action: Click the Bake button in the toolbar.

Final Step: Add a FleshRingComponent to your character Blueprint and assign your baked asset.

⚠️ Important Without clicking Bake, deformations will only appear in the editor preview and will not be visible at runtime.
