Architectural Template

**Hello community!
**
The template allows you to easily define which objects can be changed by the user. Materials can also be changed if that option is made available. The artist or architect defines a material list and the client can cycle between them to see the variations, or show variations in presentation form. If needed, the template also allows for the artist or client to show the dimensions (which are pre-defined). The dimensions themselves can be hidden during the planing stage, as well as enabling and disabling material and mesh cycling.
Dimensions and “hidden” objects will pop up when the user is within close proximity.

**Features list: **

  • Pre-define objects/materials and cycle through them in a presentation.
  • Show or hide any object whilst they are presenting.
  • Change the colour of an object in real-time.
  • Display and hide the pre-written dimensions of an object.
  • Dimensions can be made to always orient to the player.
  • Deeply customizable text field - fractional digits, gap, size, color, everything you need!
  • Enable and disable cycling meshes or materials on interactive objects.
  • Define what type of interaction is available for the object.

keep in mind - it’s a development version

Hi, just curious, is it possible to make it compatible with Occulus/GearVR or other HMD?

Hi, sure, unreal engine 4 allows it in very native way. But we probably will not be able to create native connection for it because we haven’t got any VR devices yet and as I personally believe it’s impossible create VR-compatible project without having VR device (correct me if I’m wrong). This feature was in mind all the time.

I made a quick test, it has the problem with the UI, I mean I’m unable to see the UI and control the UI correctly when I use it in VR because the UI is projected in middle of the both eyes, and also in a HMD device Unreal doesn’t allow you to use the mouse cursor…

I’m looking how to project your UI in a 3D space

It might be not an easy task.
Also as suggestion - you can bind UI buttons to the keyboard keys or buttons at controller, so there will be no need in a mouse cursor anymore

Hi Pirog,
Thanks for your work, it looks great.

I’m currently trying to import your interactive object into an exisiting scene. The probleme is that I can’t get any interaction. The bjocts, the blueprints, everything is looking ok, but it seems that I havn’t got collision with my player object. Do you know how I could solve that?

Regards

Teg

Hi Pirog,

i am also using your architecture template. Ive loaded my meshes into the interactive object, i get the interaction, but the objects seem not to get built with the level build ( i see them and can change them in the game, but they dont cast shadows and wont get proper shading). can you please help me on this?

best
pio

Hi,

Is there a documentation for the archi template? I have purchased the template and for the price i had expected to have at least a single sheet of instructions or something.
Also after cycling through meshes in interactive (chair) right click to exit doesnt work.
any help would be appreciated.

Thank you
Masoud
