motionrig is planned as a plugin for exactly that, one node in the animgraph (or optionally controlrig if you want to control more specifics) which handles it all, with a bunch of profile/settings for configuring it for different styles/characters.
My current limitation on it is I don't really know much about doing the UI implementation side. I want something kinda like the modular rigging system, except for motion. So you'd do setups like connect [bone->bone] distance to drive [other bone rotation], chaining things together like that in some visual way where you can see it simulating. Adding as much depth/control as you want. Then it all just gets plugged in as a data profile to one node.
And also still working through some generalizable flexibility for proc locomotion. It's quite easy to make it work for one character, but to generalise it where it works for *any* character is harder. I don't want people to have to be doing stuff like setting specific primary/secondary axis things or defining things like foot lengths etc. Just want it all to work instantly but then be customizable for stylistic reasons if you choose to.

🤩#DMC in @UnrealEngine 5.8!
Too many controllers = “organized rig” 😄 (we’ve all been there)
Enter #DirectMeshControls (DMC) - Click the mesh. Animate directly on the character. Done.
Enjoy 😜: youtu.be/csZH8A9aPQw

We have some exciting stuff in Unreal 5.8 - Skeletonize and weight complex meshes like Trees using Unreal's dataflow. Simulate and rig easily with the experimental Control Rig Dynamics plugin.

Looking good. I'm doing something similar atm (different approach I think, I'm doing it through controlrig/no plugin or code change, I'm guessing you're doing it through code to sample the future frame poses?) - I bet during this you also wished that animation assets could have more information stored?
EG the notifies feel like a workaround, would be good if the animation asset could just hold vectors. Or even full alternate poses for info of every bone etc. Or animatable vectors without adding additional bones in. Would be so many use-cases for procedural animation if there was more than just curves and notify events.

🙌🏼@UnrealEngine 5.8 just leveled up #Character #Animation!
#ControlRig #Dynamics brings fast, intuitive physics directly into your rigs!
NO heavy setup, NO complexity. You can now:
Spawn dynamic solvers in sec, build & control chains!
Enjoy! 🤩

I’ve quickly and a bit brutally tested the new #ControlRig #Physics #Dynamics in @UnrealEngine 5.8 😄
You’re definitely not ready for this feature!
See you tomorrow at 10:00 AM CEST on the channel for the full tutorial 🔥

😤 STOP wasting time on heavy renders just to preview a shot in @UnrealEngine !
Use #MovieRenderQueue Quick Render in #UnrealEngine to create fast playblasts, export MP4s, preview cameras, and even display your #ControlRig during renders.
Enjoy! 🤩

Oh yes... being able to rig in Unreal is super cool! And being able to rig with much sparser meshes is even cooler ;)
Go grab a free trial now to check them out:

New thingie in #UE5.8: you can select controls in control rig by clicking directly on the mesh! Called Direct Mesh Control. There's an example too (but they forgot the skeleton lol)

ABPで設定が必要だからControlRigとけんかしないかな？と思ったけど問題なく動作しました。
