Hi everyone! 
I’m excited to share VERA (Virtual Engine Reasoning Agent)
— an open-source AI co-pilot that lives directly inside the Unreal Editor.
Unlike external chatbots that force you to copy & paste snippets, VERA is a full in-editor agent: you describe what you want in plain language, and it plans, calls tools against Unreal’s Python API, inspects the viewport, self-corrects if an error occurs, and verifies its work — all from a tabbed panel inside your editor.
Key Features
7 LLM Providers (Cloud & 100% Local): Supports Anthropic (Claude Opus 4/Sonnet 4), OpenAI (GPT-4o/GPT-4.1/o3-mini), Google Gemini (2.5 Flash), Groq (Llama 3.3 70B), Hugging Face (DeepSeek R1/Qwen 2.5 Coder), NVIDIA NIM, and Local Servers (LM Studio, Ollama, llama.cpp, vLLM). Switch provider/model per session or tab mid-conversation.
Multimodal Viewport Vision: VERA renders the viewport via SceneCapture2D(even with the editor minimized) to inspect actors, critique compositions, or check lighting.
Animation & Rigging Pipeline: Create IK Rigs, setup retargeters, batch-retarget animation sequences, and play/scrub them directly from prompt commands.
Procedural Content Generation (PCG): Autonomously wire PCG graphs to spawn forests, cities, and scattered props.
Background Task Progress Bar: Asynchronous execution with live task progress pills (#bg-tasks-bar) and per-task cancellation.
Built-In MCP Server: Exposes the Unreal Editor to IDEs (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf) via Model Context Protocol.
Safety Control Modes: Ask (confirm destructive actions), Auto (autopilot), and Read (inspect only).
100% Free & Open Source: MIT Licensed. Your keys stay in your local .env. Run it completely offline with local models for $0.
