Unreal Generalist: Blueprints For Artists

Expand floor functionality in Unreal blueprints by using a construction script to randomize rotation offsets for each static mesh in an array, with seed controls, validation, and variable promotion.

Learn to implement a scan feature in Unreal blueprints by wiring a hold-to-scan input, creating a scan actor, dynamic material progress using a dissolve parameter, and a timer-based stop/cancel mechanism.

Create and configure additional user interface widgets in Unreal Engine using blueprints, including size boxes, overlays, borders, text, and interactive buttons, to display scanned plant data in a dedicated slot.

Learn to create a BP grow master that spawns instanced meshes from an array, using the foliage system for efficient growth and optional collisions in Unreal Engine.

Implement vertical trace and collision trace, including sphere trace by channel and trace radius, to place plants on terrain. Reuse modular blueprints like calculate position to determine instance transform.

Build a streamlined Unreal light blueprint by creating a light source struct and data table presets, then a master blueprint applying intensity, temperature, color, and emissive settings.

Create a scan room interaction in Unreal using a blueprint, a trigger, and a screen widget that appears near the player and reveals a holographic room with particles when activated.

Learn to implement interactive plant selection in a scan room using blueprints, with hover feedback, border color changes, and dynamic holographic spawns for grass, mushrooms, and plants, plus debugging tips.

Create two timelines to cool grass and light, drive material emissive and light intensity changes, then destroy effects and scale the scene down over three seconds.

Learn to implement a bomb in blueprints: perform a sphere trace to destroy foliage, use a vertical trace to place an impact mesh, then burn grass.
