License

See LICENSE.txt for more license info, but all portions of the picker that came from Epic's Metahuman picker are the sole property of Epic Games and licensed as Unreal-only content by them (not me).
My modifications are released via the BSD 3-clause license so that you can use this in the Unreal Editor (5.4+) for commercial and noncommercial projects.

Support licenses are available on request, reach out to threepeatgames@gmail.com for more information.

Background

I'm building and releasing these tools to make animating in Unreal easier and faster for everyone. My motive is to share what I've learned and build a large YT and discord community dedicated to progressing animation in unreal (animations can be easily used all game engines). If you like this tool, please head over to https://youtube.com/@threepeatgames and subscribe and check out the videos.

Installation

See Announcement/Walkthrough Video (above) for detailed step-by-step instructions.

This repo is a packaged version (with source code) of the plugin, so you can either download a zip or just clone this directly into your Plugins folder:

  1. Go to the Unreal 5.4+ project where you'd like to install Threepeat AnimTools (TATools)
  2. create a Plugins folder in the root of the project (it will be alongside the Content folder, for example)
  3. In the Plugins folder, run git clone https://github.com/threepeatgames/ThreepeatAnimTools or whatever your favorite git cloning is... Alternatively, just download the zip and extract it into the Plugins folder.
  4. You should now see a ThreepeatAnimTools folder inside Plugins
  5. restart your Unreal Project

Something's not working, what do I do?

Post an issue here with as much detail as needed to reproduce the issue. I'm releasing this for free, so I'm not promising any real support, but generally effort out ~= effort and detail in

Pronunciation

TATools sounds like tattoo and rhymes with pools. Threepeat Anim Tools is also fine.
