Unleash your Creativity
Crafted by engineers with real game-industry experience, ACF Ultimate combines the power of a professional, production-ready C++ tool with the simplicity of a Blueprint template. With a fully-featured Blueprint sample project that showcases all its capabilities, everything is setup to work out of the box, so you can jump straight into crafting your idea.
Work with the engine, not against it
Blueprint templates look easy, until you need to modify them. ACF U is built on an industry-standard layered architecture, using Gameplay Ability System, CommonUI, ContextualAnimations etc. like the pros do. It’s a C++ plugin designed to be extended, not hacked. You build on top of it, not inside it. That means cleaner architecture, no conflicts, and updates that don’t wipe your work. Use what you need, extend what you want, and leave behind the limitations of traditional templates.
ACF U gives you everything you need to create a complete game:
- Advanced Character Controller with 3 sample AnimBlueprints: Blendspaces, Distance Matching and GASP Integration (BETA) with Motion Matching
