Creating a circle

Development Asset Creation

Hello,
I am sure this is a very simple task but I just didn’t find any way online…

I am trying to create a simple 2D circle (similar to the plane actor but circular)
My goal Is to have a circle that I will be able to put a camera feed material on it that would paint it uniformly
so just using a sprite or some kind of a material on a rectangular plane is not good enough.

Is there a way to create any mesh using UE4? what is the simplest way to create such a circle?

Thank you very much!

Normally, you would just set your material to masked then add a radialgradiantexponential to the opacity. Then put it on a plane mesh.

what did you mean by ‘paint it uniformly’?
It doesn’t cause any distortion, so it what way is it not good enough?

Thanks for reviving. How do you add the radialgradiantexponential node to the opacity? Could you simply indicate what gets pinned to what. Thanks.
