Absolutely, I’d like some more specifics on this as well. I’ve been looking into UEFN over the last few days in the hopes of creating new game modes, along with appropriate “custom” assets to suit those game modes (I’m primarily a 3D Artist). The supplied Rules + Guidelines are pretty unclear on this. The line that most people have been citing is this:
“1. No modification. Do not change or otherwise modify the shape of any existing LEGO brick, element or other LEGO content, for example, by stretching, cropping or recoloring elements.”
^ This makes sense to me, since altering any of the current assets would be prone to inconsistencies with other islands. However, these guidelines don’t say anything about creating entirely new assets, like new minifig parts, vehicles, or modular pieces for structures.
It would be great to receive some more clarification on this from Epic staff members. I’ve noticed that they’ve been hiring people who are familiar with LDD and Bricklink Studio, which makes me think they might be developing (or already have) some sort of internal conversion tool for converting proper digital Lego set designs into game-ready Lego Fortnite assets. Is there any way that Creator Portal artists/users can contribute to this process, within the rule restrictions…?
