I want something that looks futuristic but also something that moves. Is it possible to put effects and moving objects on a hud to make a futuristic display?
You could use something like dynamic materials on HUD widgets to have an animated HUD.
A link to help start the research. I haven’t done extensive work with the new HUD widget system, but my understanding is that it’s fairly powerful and open.
I would also suggest looking at the Stylized Rendering Showcase:
https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Resources/Showcases/Stylized/index.html
They have a material on the trees that creates a wavy effect, to help demonstrate another method of having dynamically updating materials that “move”.
Does anyone has any other ideas? I have tried whats stated above but can;t seem to make it work. I would like something like this:
Is there a way you can help me do this?
Unfortunately I can only help direct research that might help you. I don’t have a whole lot of time other than being able to provide links. It’s a lot of reading but Unreal Documentation on Widgets might help a bit:
Yup, widgets are the way to go. You can drag and drop an “Image” then set its brush to as dynamic material.
