Hello
I know this may sound totally insane, but I’d like to write a painting application with Unreal.
The painting strokes would be small textured meshes, maybe with dynamic materials… Possibly with background rendering to turn painting strokes (made of several meshes) into a texture (otherwise we could quickly run into millions of polys)
My question is : are you aware of ways to customize the input events in C++ ?
I saw that Unreal 4.23 introduced a stylus editor plugin, but its name seems to indicate that it is meant to be used in the editor only.
Do you know if I can write an additional input component that can be used at runtime, outside of the editor, without too much hacking inside Unreal itself?
This probably means I need to have some sort of access to the underlying (highly platform-specific) event loop.
Thanks a lot in advance for your opinion on this.
Benjamin-
