Description

Ryan Picker Page


Includes Picker Pages for the Epic MetaHuman Body and Face, Epic Mannequin and the Epic Zebra control rigs.

RyanPickerPage is an editor plugin that lets you build custom picker pages for animating Control Rig controls and Actors directly inside Unreal Engine

  • No external tools

  • No hand-wired Blueprint UI.


A single Editor Utility Widget (opened from the Tools menu) gives you a canvas where you place, arrange, and configure picker widgets that drive a character's Control Rig controls or level actors.

  • Edit Mode to lay out and configure the page and make your own custom adjustments

  • Live Mode to pick and use the various buttons and widgets to help with animation, selecting actors, or running python scripts


Widget Types

  • Selection Button

    • Select Control Rig controls

    • Select any Actors in the level

    • Select other Buttons, which can be useful in situations where you want both single and multi selections of controls.

    • Run python scripts on click.

  • 1D Slider

    • Drives a single transform channel (translate/rotate/scale) within a defined range

  • 2D Slider

    • Drives two channels at once from a single drag handle

  • Toggle

    • Two-State switch

    • Can toggle Boolean Anim channels, used for IK/FK switching or other rig states

    • Can toggle the visibility of widgets in the picker to match what controls are visible in the rig

    • Toggles can also be grouped and work like radio-buttons.

  • Labels

    • You can create your title or text areas, there's also a dynamic feature so the label changes based on what the current control rig is.

  • Images

    • Add pictures to the background, and you can move around, offset, zoom in or out so you can the image set just the way you want.

Other Features

  • Drag-and-drop layout with align, distribute, and nudge tools

  • Layered Widgets, so they can stack on top of each other

  • Copy/cut/paste, undo/redo, and Z-order layer management

  • Multi-widget bulk-apply editing and per-widget Attribute Editor sidebar

  • Outliner panel, for reordering widget stack, rename widgets, order by Type or Group

  • Mirror Pose tool for building and maintaining symmetric layouts

  • Bookmarks for jumping between saved canvas views Control Rig & Target Actor Integration

  • Interactive Selection Mode keeps picker widgets in sync with your Control Rig / level selection in both directions

  • Optional per-button Python scripting hook for custom logic

  • Building animator-friendly rig control pickers without touching Blueprint

  • Speeding up posing and animation workflows on complex Control Rigs

  • Create your own custom picker page widgets that contain your own blueprint graphs

  • Pages are saved to JSON files, so you reload them later and share with others

  • Create your own libraries of picker pages in any folder you want, it's not tied to a project


Support & Updates

  • A Help Menu with easy to find links to Documentation and Bug and Feature Request reporting.
