Dailies: Taking an hour each day to prototype and learn new techniques.
Exploring how to build a UI and connect actions within Unreal Engine using the UMG system
Trudging forward in my dailies and getting an understanding of how to blueprint and navigate around a UI. Digging into panels to keep things clean. Glad to learn that this is super simple. Keeps the focus on the design
Daily 18.04.16 /// 88 // navigation / #UMG #UnrealEngine
Now I’ve learned how to assign an action to a button such as open a level. This alone with the animations is pretty powerful and covers most use cases. And super easy to follow which allows me to focus on the animation itself.

Learning how to create an animation and assign it to a pressed state. Also adding sound.

Updating the level blueprint to assign the menu blueprint to the viewport

Next up on my daily 1 hr dig into @UnrealEngine and the UMG system, button states. Pretty simple really which is nice to know. I can focus on the UI visual design and some relevant animations between the states
Daily 18.04.05 /// 86 // button states / #UnrealEngine #Pluralsight
Not much visually to show for todays daily but exciting. I’m learning the UMG system within @UnrealEngine to learn how to build a UI overlay. First step is to get a look at the interface & add in a background image
