UAnimBlueprint

An Anim Blueprint is essentially a specialized Blueprint whose graphs control the animation of a Skeletal Mesh.

API > API/Runtime > API/Runtime/Engine

An Anim Blueprint is essentially a specialized Blueprint whose graphs control the animation of a Skeletal Mesh. It can perform blending of animations, directly control the bones of the skeleton, and output a final pose for a Skeletal Mesh each frame.
