# PRESS TO PERFORM — drive a skeletal mesh from Verse.
#
# The Animated Mesh device is the creator-friendly door to skeletal animation.
# You can't hand-build an `animation_sequence` in Verse code (those are
# editor-imported assets, and the play_animation_controller that consumes them
# is epic_internal). What you CAN do is pick a skeletal mesh and an animation
# IN THE EDITOR on an Animated Mesh device, then drive its playback from Verse
# with Play / Pause / PlayReverse.
#
# This device turns one Button into a full transport panel for a posed statue,
# a dancing hologram, a swinging gate — any skeletal mesh you drop on the
# Animated Mesh device. First press plays, next pauses, next reverses, and so on.
