The Text To Anim panel

Tools > Text To Anim opens a standalone panel for quick experiments.

Generate

• Under Describe the motion, write the prompt in English, e.g. "a person walks forward and waves with the right hand".
• Choose the duration (up to 10 s) and press Generate (Ctrl+Enter). A clip takes a few seconds.
• Keep Random ticked for a new seed every time, or untick it to repeat a result exactly.

History and preview

• Recent generations keeps every generation of the project; click one to preview it in the viewport. A generation already saved in an asset shows Go to Clip / Go to Loop to open it.
• Below the viewport, Character picks the skeletal mesh used for the preview (default: the project's UE5 Manny, if present). The preview is retargeted live.
• The round buttons at the top right of the viewport toggle the bones, the start/finish flags and the debug information; Follow keeps the camera on the character.

Turn a generation into an asset

Save as Clip and Save as Loop turn the selected generation into an asset that you can refine and bake:

Model controls

Writing good prompts

• "a person jogs in a circle"
• "a tired person sits down on a chair"
• "a person dances happily with arms raised"
• "a person walks forward, then turns left"
