Alvis Unipower Tank Bridge Transporter with No. 10 Bridge (West)

The Alvis Unipower Tank Bridge Transporter has similar cross-country performance as a tank when loaded. It can carry the No. 10 bridge or No. 12 bridges. It can drop off a load of bridges independently, but it cannot recover them.

In 1992, Unipower has launched in a mass production the M series chassis. Since 1994, it is produced under the brand Alvis-Unipower. The series M was 8×8 and designed to carry heavy loads weighing up to 24 tons or installation of special military equipment.

This vehicle blueprint includes desert and forest camouflage textures, a fully rigged structure, and various animated components such as machine gun rotation and elevation, and opening hatches. Additionally, it comes with a detailed damage model that includes damaged geometry, textures, and realistic fire and smoke effects. The blueprint also features firing animations and dynamic dust effects generated by the movement of the tracks.

The asset is designed as a standard Unreal vehicle with an interior, but it can be customized to suit specific project requirements. It is fully drivable, utilizing physics simulations provided by Epic Games’ Chaos Vehicles plugin. Please note that the Chaos Vehicles plugin must be enabled for proper vehicle movement. The scene incorporates Epic Games’ Volumetrics plugin for environmental clouds and utilizes Lumen for advanced lighting effects.

A sample showcase/demo Blueprint is included with an environment map and a user interface (UI). When you “Play” the map, the UI provides camera presets, sliders, and buttons to showcase the key functionalities of the vehicle.
