Installation & Setup

Installation Steps

1. Copy the Plugins/Texturge folder into your UE5 project’s Plugins directory.
2. Restart the Unreal Engine editor.
3. Go to Edit > Plugins, search for “Texturge”, and confirm the plugin is enabled (Category: UI).

IMPORTANT

Texturge Pro requires Unreal Engine 5.7 or later.

NOTE

CommonUI is an optional integration dependency and does not affect core functionality.

Module Dependencies

Texturge’s Runtime module depends on the following engine modules (handled automatically, no manual configuration needed):

• Core, CoreUObject, Engine, Slate, SlateCore, UMG
• MovieScene, MovieSceneTracks (Sequencer integration)
• CommonUI (optional)

Project Settings

After installation, you can find the plugin configuration panel at Edit > Project Settings > Texturge.

All settings are stored in your project’s Config/DefaultGame.ini (the USettings class uses the config = Game attribute). Default values are generated automatically when the settings panel is first opened.

Verifying Installation

After a successful installation:

1. Right-click in the Content Browser → Texturge → Text Animation Blueprint to create a new asset.
2. In the UMG Widget Designer’s Palette panel, search for “Animated” to see the AnimatedTextBlock and AnimatedRichTextBlock widgets.
3. The top menu Window > Texturge opens a standalone panel (reserved entry point).

Using in Blueprint

Texturge widgets can be used in UMG or created directly in C++:

C++ example:

// Create an animated text block
UAnimatedTextBlock* TextBlock = NewObject<UAnimatedTextBlock>();
TextBlock->SetText(FText::FromString("Hello Texturge!"));
TextBlock->TextAnimationBlueprint = MyAnimationBP;
TextBlock->bAutoPlay = true;

// Create an animated rich text block
UAnimatedRichTextBlock* RichBlock = NewObject<UAnimatedRichTextBlock>();
RichBlock->SetText(FText::FromString("Hello <anim>Texturge</>!"));
RichBlock->AnimationData = MyAnimationDataAsset;
RichBlock->bAutoPlay = true;

Blueprint usage: Drag the widget from the UMG Widget Blueprint Palette panel, configure the TextAnimationBlueprint or AnimationData property in the Details panel, and check AutoPlay.
