" summary

Unreal Engine adds in-editor control rig sequences so animators can pose and retarget without round‑tripping to Maya, a pose driver node using an RBF solver to blend corrective poses and material parameters, a live link Maya plugin that streams rig animation into the engine, NVCloth plus clothing tools for authoring in-editor, and an Gene Splicer pipeline that builds per-instance rigs and skin weights from a scanned-person database in milliseconds (DNA ≈60,000 floats); immediate-mode per-character physics runs hundreds of ragdolls at 60 FPS.
