PaperZD

PaperZD is the definitive answer to Unreal Engine's lack of animation support for 2D projects, letting you easily create your own Animation Blueprints with all the features needed for managing complex and simple 2d projects alike.

With the plugin you can:

• Create your own Animated characters and objects, driving their animations with an easy to use but powerful animation graph.
• Add animation notifies to your sequences, allowing you to trigger events at very specific frames without the hassle of having to manage them yourself.
• Implement your own notify logic in C++, Blueprints or even as Custom notifies in your own Animation Blueprint.
• Easily create top-down, isometric or other “directional” 2d game, letting you setup and select which rendering angle to use.
• Create your own animated sequences on “Sequencer” and trigger all the notifies and settings already set in your character.
• Use other animation sources besides Paper2D while using all the power of the tool in its full potential.
• Easily extend the plugin to fit your needs.

The plugin is coded in an agnostic way and can be extended to be used not only with Paper2D’s Flipbooks but with other animation sources, even with 2D skeletal animations. PaperZD comes with blending support allowing you to make full use of skeletal animations where possible.

With PaperZD you’ll have the tools needed to achieve incredible animated projects while being able to manage them in a very easy and intuitive manner.
