Hi all! So I am new to making my own UI stuff and especially new to photoshop. My question is pretty simple. I am curious what size I need to make my image and any other settings that are required for making parts of a crosshair that is going to be dynamic all within photoshop. Now I have already written the code and have a dynamic crosshair in my game but I am not happy with the way the current images look and want to make them look better using photoshop! Thank you for any advice in advance!

just make it really big, you can downsize it as needed in the editor non-destructively.
2048x2048 should be fine

Hello @Unrealistic95
Just the Crosshair?
As the user adobe says you can make a UI element big and then just make it smaller from the interface, so you have a higher resolution version and it never gets pixelated.
But now, a Crosshair is a really tiny element in screen, I think that 128x128 should be okay. The most of the crosshairs are just 4 lines no wider than two pixels. Maybe 512x512.
it is important that you respect the rule of 2 in the images.
I hope this helps!

Okay cool would that be the size to make it in photoshop?
Make a crosshair within photoshop of 512x512. and make sure to make the background of the crosshair transparent. you can always downsize the image within the UI interface but please to this within the details penal to ensure the image is even. you can have the crosshair on screen by (within your character) on ‘‘Event begin play’’ → ‘‘Create Widget’’ → ‘‘Promote to variable’’ (to be able to make changes within your character if needed) - > ‘‘Add to viewport’’
