Using content from UE4 Sample Projects

[hamsterPL]

Hi all,

New UE4 developer here with several years hobbyist game programming background. I’ve recently begun learning UE4 and am enjoying myself thoroughly.

I’ve almost finished work on my first marketplace submission - it’s a blueprint plugin that makes it easy to add cinematic bullet time experiences to your games. I need to develop a sample map that demonstrates the functionality though.

I’m wondering what the licence is for the assets in the UE4 samples that Epic provides. I can’t see a licence or readme file with any of the samples I’ve looked at. E.g. I’d love to use some of the characters or textures from the ‘Showdown VR’ demo to kick-start development of my sample map (which will be bundled with my plugin). Is this allowed? Obviously I would credit the source of all assets I didn’t make myself.

I searched and couldn’t find an answer to this anywhere - my apologies if I didn’t search well enough.,

Thanks!

Yes you can.
From FAQ:
"Q: Can you use the content in the marketplace for commercial use ?

A: You can use all of the free Epic content in the marketplace commercially in any games you build with UE4. This includes all of the content residing in example projects. For example, all of the weapons, meshes, sounds and materials in Shooter Game. Tappy Chicken even!"
