Texturge Modules in Detail

The Texturge plugin consists of two modules: Texturge (Runtime) and TexturgeEditor (Editor). There is no separate Baker, Renderer, or GPU pipeline module.

Layers & Factory

Class	Description
UGlyphAnimationLayer	Layer wrapper (73 Blueprint functions): deep-copied curve copy + scheduling + glyph tweaks + animation clipping. Chainable API returning itself

UGlyphAnimation	UMovieSceneSequence subclass. GetDuration() / GetTrackTypes() / HasTrackType()

Runtime Controllers

Class	Description
UTextAnimationStageController	Stage playback engine. Playback: Play() / Pause() / Resume() / Stop() / RevealAll() / SetPlayDirection() / SetLoop() / TickAnimation() / EvaluateAllGlyphs(). Queries: IsPlaying() / IsComplete() / GetCurrentStage() / GetStageTime() / GetRevealedGlyphCount() / GetTotalGlyphCount(). Injection: Initialize() / PublishBakedAnimation(). Delegates: OnGlyphRevealed / OnStageChanged / OnAnimationComplete
UTextAnimator	Rich text typewriter engine (plain C++ methods only, zero Blueprint functions). SetPlainText() / SetRichText() / SetAnimationData() / SetAnimationBlueprint() / SetPlaybackMode() / SetCPS() / SetPlayMode() / SetPlaySpeedMultiplier() / SetSequentialPlayback() / SetMaxLoopCount() / StartAnimating() / TickAnimation() / Pause() / Resume() / Stop() / SkipToEnd() / GetCurrentFrameDataArray() etc.

UMG Widgets

Class	Description
UAnimatedTextBlock	UTextBlock subclass. 12 Blueprint functions (6 playback + 6 Blueprint variables) + 2 Blueprint delegates. Properties: TextAnimationBlueprint / ParameterOverrides / bAutoPlay / bLoopPlayback
UAnimatedRichTextBlock	URichTextBlock subclass. 6 playback Blueprint functions + 2 Blueprint delegates. Properties: AnimationData / bAutoPlay / bLoopPlayback / bSequentialPlayback
UEventSoundComponent	UActorComponent subclass. Character sound mapping + punctuation delay + animator binding

Rich Text System

Class	Description
UTextAnimationDataAsset	UDataAsset. Entries (TArray<FAnimationEntry>)
FAnimationEntry	USTRUCT. TagName (FName) + Type (TObjectPtr<UTextAnimationBlueprint>) + 6 override maps + bHideFirstFrame
FTagParser	Parser. Parse(const FString&, FString& OutPlainText) → TSharedPtr<FTagNode>
FRenderTreeBuilder	Builder. Build(ParseRoot, PlainText, DataAsset) → FRenderNode, SerializeToDisplayText(), SerializeSubstring()
FRichTextMarshaller	Private Marshaller, per-glyph rich text rendering (per-line independent ModelString since UE5.8, line terminator prefix computation)

Localization & Unicode

Class	Description
ULocalizationSubsystem	UGameInstanceSubsystem. SetLanguage() (broadcasts OnLanguageChanged), static RelocateAnchors() (exact match + LCS approximation + confidence dedup, MaxTextLength = 10000)
FSemanticAnchor	USTRUCT. AnchorId / ContextualSnippet / SourceOffset
FCharBreakIterator	IBreakIterator implementation, precomputes break point arrays (CJK / Surrogate Pair / Emoji cluster safe)
Texturge::Unicode	Namespace utilities: IsCJK() / IsCJKPunctuation() / IsHiragana() / IsKatakana() / IsHangulSyllables() / surrogate pair composition
Texturge::GlyphRender	Namespace utilities: ApplyTint() (PBM physical pigment mixing), SRGBToLinearChannel() / LinearToSRGBChannel(), BuildGlyphTransform(), IsSdfFont() etc.

Settings

Class	Description
UTexturgeSettings	UDeveloperSettings, category "Plugins/Texturge", currently no configuration items, static Get() access only
