    Engine Plugin
    This product contains a code plugin, complete with pre-built binaries and all its source code that integrates with Unreal Engine, which can be installed to an engine version of your choice then enabled on a per-project basis.

This plugin will provide you with the means to identify whether your logic is running single-threaded on the Game Thread, or if the work is distributed to a Worker Thread meaning it is multi-threaded.


The plugin includes Blueprint nodes, and an Anim Instance Class which systems will help identify where exactly your logic is executing.
