Q&A
*Make sure to apply the sRGB fix shown in the video/docs if you’re using the “import” function (it will allow you to save the created icons within the editor).
*ATTENTION: THE “IMPORT TO PROJECT” FUNCTION DOESN’T WORK AS EXPECTED ON UNREAL ENGINE 5.4 (EXPORT FUNCTION DOES WORK AS INTENDED). DUE TO THE ENGINE UPDATE, THIS FUNCTION SAVES YOUR ICONS INTO CONTENT/ICONGENERATOR/MAPS INSTEAD OF THE CHOSEN “LOCAL FOLDER PATH”. AN UPDATE WILL BE RELEASED AS SOON AS THIS ISSUE IS FIXED.
*NOTES:
Update 1.01: Added a searchable box function. You can see how it works here.
Update 1.02: Added a box to change the mesh materials (works with static meshes and skeletal meshes). You can check a preview here.
Update 1.03: Orthographic camera option, improved pixel effect, silhouette, improved item placement on screen and more, already available in the demo below. You can check a preview here.
Update 1.04: Added “move camera” using mouse right button to improve precision (WASD keep working for the same function).
Update 1.05 released: Added foreground option, autosearch for animations (in the animations tab, when a skeletal mesh is selected), ambient occlusion support and settings, more light options.
