Will this be a paid plugin or will it be free?

This time it will be a paid plugin Provisional price is listed in this post.

Oops, I edited my post without refreshing and you had indeed responded. I'm curious if you can give any pointers in regards to using this for portals. That's my main goal with making the purchase presently, though with other projects I'm sure that'll change.

Portals:
Once the sample project is polished up, we can take a much closer look at this, but here's the workflow for now:

Visuals: You'll add a "Don Local Space Paint" node into your material and use the alpha as an opacity mask to create the portal. Choose from XY, XZ or YZ paint depending on how the mesh is modeled. Because it's local space you can rotate your asset any way you like, non-uniform scaling is supported too.

Gameplay:
For characters, you'll need logic in your blueprint to check for portals (the plugin will tell you) and to execute portal travel (you'll need to handle that).
For projectiles, just reparent your existing projectile component to the one provided by the plugin and set your portal name. It's derived from Unreal's projectile component so you retain all your existing functionality. The portal name is something you set while creating (painting) the portal.

--

Worth noting that things like portals/fog-of-war are applications of the plugin that end-users will need to develop as per their needs. The core product is a mesh painting solution with a custom collision API. Of course the sample project will have plenty of references for you though

Let me know if you have any questions!

Hey, code review from marketplace team is still pending...

I've asked them for an estimate of how long this process will take, hopefully some information will surface

[gozu]

Thanks for the update :-)

I heard rumor they have been quite busy and are training new staff to cope with the load!

Good luck!

Yeah that's what I gathered as well.

Thanks again for your kind words, really appreciate your interest in this plugin!

It's been two months now. Did you get any information?

Have I understood correctly that your plugin finally makes it possible to collide a mesh or at least a world position location with a skeletal mesh? And by that I do not mean physics bodies but the whole mesh itself including all attached meshes like hair and clothing.
For example could I make a bullet hit the coat, then shirt, skin, shirt, coat? (to create an exit wound)
