Author a hand pose

By the end of this you will have a custom hand pose applied when the player grips a specific object.

Steps

1. Open Hand Pose Studio from the editor toolbar.
2. Select the hand skeletal mesh and load the object's static mesh as a reference.
3. Pose the fingers in the viewport, using the skeleton tree to select bones.
4. Place a socket named with the Grip_ prefix where the hand should attach.
5. Save. The tool writes an AnimSequence and a new StaticMesh with the socket.
6. Use Mirror to Left to generate the opposite hand from the same pose.
7. On the object's BPC_Interaction_Grip, add the pose to Custom Hand Poses Left and Right, keyed by socket name.
