Unreal Engine 5 - Automation using Editor Utility Widgets

MAJOR UPDATE : This course now includes a copy of ULAG-Snap&Swap for Free as Student Project for further Research - An Automation Tool to use with any Modular Asset to construct Huge environments. It is an Editor Utility Widget and a complete product developed only using Blueprints. Please Refer Section-8 [Lecture 48] (ULAG-Snap&Swap is provided as a student project for self study. Code walk through is not provided for the same.)

In this Unreal Engine 5 Course, you will learn the techniques to construct data driven Blueprint Prefab Buildings and other Structures using Modular Static Meshes and Editor Utility Widgets. The concepts to calculate the Pivot Point Locations  and measure the dimensions for the Static Mesh in Blueprints is covered. Using the Vector Maths techniques, Modular meshes are placed within an Actor Blueprint in a data driven way using Data Assets. Editor Utility Widgets are used to manage the data assets. The Editor Utility Widgets are run in the editor during design time.Only Blueprints are used in this course and no C++ knowledge is needed.

In Section1 and 2,  the needed concepts are explained in Blueprints using a simple sample project and concept diagrams.

In Section 3, a basic version of the Building Prefab Tool will be developed step by step.

In Section 4, Editor Utility Widget will be created step by step.

The Unreal Engine 5.4 project for the Tool Developed will be shared with no dependencies needed.

In Section 5, A Walkthrough will be provided to use the tool developed so far.

In the Extended Section 6, The Self Study Material - Advanced Prefab Tool is provided with a walkthrough

to build an advanced Prefab Structure.

The Blueprints are Documented using Comments for Self Study.

In the Extended Section 7 - A Cinematic Environment creation process is covered.

The Environment Creation Section is not very detailed as the focus of the course is about Building the Prefab structure using Editor Utility Widgets. The Process is explained at a high level with a walkthrough. But a lot of interesting features are covered to bring the Cinematic look to the scene.
