Applications

-The tiltrotor Quadcopter performs similar to an Helicopter or an VTOL plane. The included blueprint is fully functional so it can be the main object of a game.

Just adding checkpoints and a basic timer you can make players follow a circuit or go from a point A to a point B in a certain amount of time to complete a mission.

As any other drivable vehicle it can be used also in racing games.

-As a transportation for main characters.

On that case you can edit the Quadcopter blueprint, add your character already in a driving position and make it not visible. That way when your character approaches the vehicle walking you can set it as invisible and set the one on top of the Quadcopter as visible and that will save you a lot of time.

-As a prop to give more detail to your scenes.

The modern design of this ship makes it perfect for futuristic scenes.

-For animations.

Create spectacular animations for rendered movies or for your video game cutscenes.

Cameras:

3 cameras are installed on the ship:

-Free camera

-Fixed chase camera

-Front camera with crosshair for better aiming

Materials and material instances:

The Quadcopter uses material instances to make it easier to choose paint colors, emissive light intensity etc.

The material instances have editable parameters with names such as “ChooseColor” to select a paint color or “EmissiveLight” to make the lights shine on a certain color.

The terrain textures include samples of images from pixabay.com

Projectiles:

Bullets are configured at a speed of 85m/s (8500 units) wich is an estimated value, a realistic value for that kind of ammunition should be about 850m/s (85000 units), and to make them visible their Projectile Speed must be reduced drastically.

Quadcopter Blueprint

The Blueprint is ordered in named sections to easily find the one you want to adjust.

Configuration variables

Acceleration: How fast the vehicle accelerates

MaxSpeed: Maximum speed

Thank you for downloading, I hope you like the product and that it gives you good results.

I would be glad to know what projects you develop involving the Quadcopter.
