At last, my Animated Text plugin for Unreal is out!

➡️ Print UMG text letter-by-letter.
➡️ New material node for per-letter animation.
➡️ Insert interactive widgets into text.

Let me know what you think!

By the way, my blog isn't set up yet, but I'll eventually write up how this works.

Feel free to ask if you want tips on how to do stuff like this yourself!

The main trick here is using vertex colors to pack extra info into text characters. (This gets around limitations that normally would require direct modification of the engine).

@protowlf I love these! I can't wait to see your blog post on how this all works! I normally use Unity, but I've been considering switching to unreal and I can see this being useful for my projects! 😊

@_benui Thanks so much! And very happy you retweeted that first demo, I might not have made it into a plugin if not.
