Ryan Picker Page

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.
