Our plugin brings adaptive footsteps to Unreal Engine, letting you add dynamic audio to your game effortlessly. We offer a lot more than your standard sample packs libraries: our footsteps are synthesized in real-time, based on intuitive parameters that you can control and/or automate. The footsteps respond automatically to different surfaces thanks to some convenient built-in functions, so no more time wasted on implementing this yourself. Our solution is integrated with Unreal Engine, unlike other solutions that involve Fmod, WWise, or other third party software.
The Adaptive Footsteps plugin provides benefits that no other audio plugin does. Our sound effect generator is:
- Customisable: 4 different shoe types, 7 surface types, and offers controls for the pace, step firmness, steadiness, etc.
- Convenient: Easy to set up, comes with 12 presets so you can get started in no time.
- Versatile: Automatic and Manual modes can be added to any element in your game scene, instantly turning it into a footsteps synthesizer.
- Light-Weight: Thanks to not using any recorded samples, our plugin uses very little less disk space; our entire code takes about the same space as one footstep sample.
Simply put, adaptive audio technology has just become simpler! We have huge plans to bring procedural sound effects to your favorite game engine, so stay tuned.
