Free Unreal Engine 5.4 True First Person Template in C++ (JDSherbert)
Original title: Unreal Engine True First Person Template
Overview
JDSherbert's True First Person Template is an MIT-licensed Unreal Engine 5.4 project written in C++ with Blueprints, built on Epic's Third Person Template and converted into a true first-person setup. The camera is attached to the head bone so the player's whole body stays visible, ray tracing is enabled, and the README explains the custom rotator and offset values needed for the view.
Sources are on GitHub with the .uproject included, and a free zip of about 900 MB is also on itch.io; no additional plugins are required, but Visual Studio is needed to compile. A solid base for immersive first-person games with a full-body view.
