Hey I have looked all over the place for the above (and have messed around in engine a bit) question but have not found anything (I do know that animations may be necessary). My goal is just to have openable drawers. Any help is greatly appreciated, and thank you very much.
I would use Blender (a free 3d modeling program) to model two static meshes. One would be a dresser without drawers and one would be the drawer. Then I would create an actor with both of those static meshes and use a Lerp or Timeline to animate the position of the drawer in UE4 instead of having to deal with the complexities of Skeletal meshes and animations.
