Pending Epic approval, I am proud to announce the release of my Storyboarding editor utility widget. It is my first major release of an ecosystem of tools designed for film production, both virtual and traditional that I have been working on for the past two years.

The storyboard tool is an editor utility widget and set of cameras that greatly expand the default screenshot capture capabilities of the engine. It is based off a traditional storyboard and allows a user to organize a set of cameras with associated preview screenshots, adjust commonly used camera settings in a streamlined way, generate multiple image types from the same camera, and create 2d camera plots.

  • 360 sphere capture camera: to take images that can be sent to a tablet or phone for low tech on-location scouting.
