Definitely not a fan of the new UI in creative as its so difficult to navigate compared to what we had previously and adds so much more time to the world building process than is necessary. I’m all for updating and improving things when its needed but this was a step in the wrong direction and added unnecessary difficulty to a system where none existed. Certainly Creative had its issues but, for the most part, it was easy to navigate, easy to find things, and far more intuitive than what we have now.
I used to jump between UEFN and live edit to build as some things were easier to put together in live edit than UEFN. However with the update to the creative layout I now find it takes more time trying to find things in the live edit menus. Even with a 4k monitor it can be difficult to see what’s actually in the galleries when you’re scrolling looking for things and the only option may be to throw down a whole gallery to see if what you’re looking for is in there. I also find that sometimes when I select things in a live edit session I can’t actually move them and need to put away the phone tool so I can deselect the object or device.
It also doesn’t help when the search bar and back button disappear as you navigate, and I feel that these should be pinned to the top of the screen for ease of access.
The old user interface was 100% more user friendly. This new UI enhances nothing for the creator. Its almost like it was designed and implemented by someone whose never used creative to build anything. Personally I think the design team should have spoken to some of the top creators and maybe let them beta test a design, but I don’t know if that would have been possible.
Thanks for taking feedback from the community.
