Character swap - Entering Vehicles, Mounting, Observer mode - smooth in UE5

In this tutorial, I'll show you how to create smooth transitions between characters in your game, enhancing immersion and player experience. Whether you're mounting a horse, entering a vehicle, or switching between characters, this technique will make your transitions seamless and visually appealing.

Imagine transitioning from a third-person character to a bike with ease. As you approach the bike and press the E key, you'll experience a smooth camera shift from the rider's perspective to the bike's viewpoint. The control seamlessly switches from the third-person character to the bike, with a delay added to accommodate the transition animation.
This tutorial is perfect for anyone looking to polish their game's character transitions and add that professional touch.

Great work, and easy to follow. Somewhat unrelated, but any chance you could include the rider with the Downhill Bike (MTB) marketplace asset in a bundled package? I'm interested in both, by have a tough time with cost of buying each one separately. Thanks!
