Hey guys!
I come from a VFX background and using UE4 for cinematic creation purposes and NOT for making any games. Having seen Blender’s capability to play videos / image sequences on planes in the viewport made me wonder if UE4 has similar options available? Say for example I have a video file or image sequence of people looking out from windows that I want to stick on top of my building geometry on a simple plane. Or if I have a video / image sequence of twinkling lights or smoke or animating billboards that I want to add to my buildings to breathe life into them.
You understand the usage.
Here’s an example of something similar but in blender’s realtime viewport:
I learned how to bring in videos in UE4 using Media Player but the issue with that is I can’t visually see the video playing in the Editor. First I have to hook it into the begin event play in the level blueprint and then when I hit play button is when the video shows up. This isn’t exactly useful as I need to see the video elements playing in the editor so I can set design.
Please tell me this is doable somehow! |
Thank you for your time!
Indy
