How to show the Control Panel

Turbo Sequence is having a custom Control Panel interface in Unreal Engine. The Control Panel can get accessed from the dropdown menu.

Which opens the control panel, and it looks something like this:

Control Panel Look

It contains out of 3 sections:

  • Reference Section
  • Generate Setion
  • Tweaks Section

It goes like; Reference the Mesh Asset, Generate The Mesh and optional tweak settings

Reference Section

The Reference Section is a key part of Turbo Sequence. It requires a Mesh Asset, without it nothing works in the Control Panel, you can create a Mesh Asset by right click in the content browser of UE.

Control Panel Reference Section

Generate Section

Turbo Sequence works this way: It does render a Static Mesh Model with Niagara, and the Material is deforming the Vertices of this Static Mesh to make it animate. In order to animate a Mesh, you need bones and skin weight information, and TS gets this info from the Archetype Skeletal Mesh Model you initially like this animate.

Control Panel Generate Section

So the Generate Section is making several steps:

  • It lets you define a Skeletal Mesh Archetype for the generation (The Model you like to animate)
  • It Generates Static Mesh, Level of Details based on your selection, 8–13 is a good range
  • It writes Bone Info and Skin Weights into the Mesh Asset
