Mesh Animation - vertex-level deformation effects for any mesh.
No rigging. No shaders. Add squash, shatter, melt, jelly, and
more directly from the Inspector. DOTween-powered.DOCUMENTATIONYour objects feel dead. Mesh Animation fixes that - no animator, no bones, no shaders.Add one component. Pick from 13 ready-made effects. Hit Play.─────────────────────────────────────⭐ HOW IT WORKS─────────────────────────────────────One component on any MeshFilter object. No ScriptableObjects, no prefab variants, no setup scenes.Add animations via the Inspector - any new effect appears automatically, no hardcoded listsSix trigger types: Hover, Hold, Proximity, Impact, Scroll, Spawn - enable only what you needColliders auto-update each frame so physics follows the deformed shapeScrub any animation in Edit Mode - no Play Mode required─────────────────────────────────────✅ WHAT'S INCLUDED─────────────────────────────────────💥 Hit SquashThe mesh flattens on impact and snaps back like rubber.Hit a crate from above - it squashes down, then bounces back up.Control which part absorbs the hit: top, bottom, or centre.Want it to stay crushed? Toggle "Return to Original" off.🫧 Death BloatThe mesh puffs outward like an inflating balloon, then collapses.Flip to Inward mode for the opposite: a vacuum-suck implosion.Add auto-destroy after collapse for instant cleanup.🌊 Jelly TapA wobbling wave spreads out from exactly where you touched the mesh.Poke a jelly cube - the ripple starts at your finger, not the centre.Works from any world-space point, so every tap feels unique.🌬️ BreatheThe mesh gently expands and contracts on a loop, like it's breathing.Perfect for ambient life - a sleeping creature, a pulsing orb, a living wall.Amplitude and falloff control how dramatic the pulse feels.🏗️ Building EmergeThe mesh rises up from underground with a satisfying squash-and-pop landing.Spawn a building, a character, or a prop as if it's erupting from the earth.The mid-air squash and snap on landing make every appearance feel physical.🌀 TwistVertices rotate around an axis - like wringing out a wet cloth.A pillar winds up, holds, then unwinds back to rest.Yoyo mode swings left → right → centre for a pendulum feel.A curve controls how much each part of the mesh participates.🔴 Dent ImpactHits leave permanent dents that accumulate across multiple strikes.Hit a metal panel repeatedly - each blow leaves a deeper crater.Dents follow the surface curve, so craters look correct on rounded meshes.Includes an undo stack to reverse individual hits if needed.🔵 Shockwave RingA ring-shaped ripple expands outward from the impact point.A bomb explodes - a visible wave rolls across the ground mesh.Control ring width, speed, and how fast the wave fades out.Multiple rings stack together when hits overlap.🤸 Stretch PullThe mesh stretches from one end toward the opposite side like taffy.Pull a character upward - the body elongates and the base squashes down.Volume-conserving squash keeps the overall silhouette believable.🌫️ Morph NoiseThe surface breathes and writhes with layered Perlin noise over time.Give a lava blob, alien skin, or magic shield a constantly shifting surface.💦 Melt DroopVertices above a horizontal line start drooping downward.Lower the melt line progressively for a real-time melting effect.📄 Crumple CollapseEach vertex collapses with its own timing and wobble,so the result looks like paper being crumpled - not a uniform shrink.Three modes: random chaos, peeling from the outside inward,or pure timing noise for a subtler organic collapse.💨 Vertex ScatterVertices fly apart in all directions, then fall and settle.An explosion sends debris outward with realistic gravity pull.Restrict scatter to the top half of the mesh for a surface burst.Call Reseed() before each hit for a unique pattern every time.─────────────────────────────────────🔧 ARCHITECTURE─────────────────────────────────────One component - MeshAnimation - on any MeshFilter object. No ScriptableObject assets, no prefab variants, no setup scenes.Add animations via the "Add Animation" button in the Inspector.The menu is auto-populated - any new effect subclass appears automatically, no hardcoded lists.Scroll, and Spawn. Enable only the sections you need;disabled sections have zero runtime cost. Supports bothLegacy Input and the new Input System package.MeshAnimationInteract: a single interaction component with sixindependent trigger types - Hover, Hold, Proximity, Impact,Collider sync: MeshCollider, BoxCollider, SphereCollider, and CapsuleCollider all update automatically each LateUpdate so physics follows the deformed shape.Edit Mode preview: scrub any animation in the Inspector without entering Play Mode. The mesh updates in the Scene view in real timeYou can also create an animation template and save it in Scriptable Objects for quick integration later on─────────────────────────────────────🔥 OTHER ASSETS:─────────────────────────────────────Top Down - Rogue-like Engine10 Additional Abilities №1 - Top Down Roguelike EngineUI AnimationVariable Scout - Hierarchy Search & Inspector Tool⭐️ Feedback and feature requests are always welcome.
