Can you draw with unreal engine 4?

Hi guys,

Can UE 4 be used to draw stuff for 2d projects?, you know like drawing a character or anything that is 2d? I use photoshop but I was wondering if it was possible to use UE to draw your characters and assets and all that. There is one tutorial on the learn tab that has a stick figure and when you open it, it says “everything you see here was created with unreal engine 4’s 2d paper plugin”, but I just don’t know how to use that feature

Thanks!

No, you cant draw in the UE4 (there might be some plugins, but I dont know a drawing feature that is included “out of the box”) -> you can just do stuff like vertex painting

Thanks for the extremely quick response. I figured that was the answer. All right thanks!

You’d need an extremely tesselated mesh for that though.

Yep, when you use vertex painting your mesh needs many vertices
But when you want to give it a try -> here you can learn the basics of the vertex paint tool:
