I want to know if it is possible to make a basic iOS application with Unreal. Something as simple as a notes app. It seems like it should be so easy to make, but every time I create a project it puts it into a 3D environment. Is there any way to make a project in a 2D environment? It sounds like a stupid question, but for some reason it’s incredibly hard for me to find out how to do. I’ve looked around and I can’t find anything on it. How do I have a 2D work environment on Unreal Engine, or is that not possible?
Hello,
Unreal is a 3d engine. The only thing you can do is choose a camera that resembles a 2d plane.
Go to the top left dropdown menu inside the viewport and choose “front” instead of “perpective”. [This will help you with placing the assets]
Then in the camera settings (the one you use) go for orthographic. [This will render the game to look like 2d]
A good place to start is the paper2d sidescroller template.
Thats about it.
Cheers!
