HUD using Canvas for Menu

Community Community & Industry Discussion

Hey,

Are there any other possibilities than canvas to draw HUDs?.
Is canvas suitable for drawing full menus, chats , etc?

In the tutorials I’ve heard Canvas should be enough for simple HUDs… What about complex HUDs?

EDIT: “maybe this thread should be moved to C++”

Hello,
if i dont mistake you can use canvas in blueprint or code and can use slate but in code only to more complex hud / UI.

BUT this may be change things soon : UMG Documentation for 4.4 Preview - Content Creation - Unreal Engine Forums
