Hi,
Is there a method to scale an actor, let’s say a static mesh actor, diagonally? or along an arbitrary axis?
For example, let say I want the actor to be twice as long along certain direction that is not exactly the X, Y, or Z direction, a direction in between main axes?
There’s a Modeling Tools plugin which might help you.
I’m not 100% sure, if it can do exactly what you need. It adds an additional ‘Modeling’ entry into the Modes tab and has a huge number of options.
I did test that early last year and it looks quite powerful.
But from what I found, it did cause issues with vertex painting (crashing the editor in my case) and I found, that it caused issues with decals as well (have to apply decals in the opposite direction to appear correctly).
But might be worth to try for you.
Thanks for the suggestion. It’s actually a great suggestion, but I don’t think it will do the job.
I have done a lot of per vertix manipulation in the past, using a combination of imported and procedural meshes functionalities. The problem with that is the same problem with this plugin, namely the cost isn’t meant for runtime usage, unfortunately.
