*ATTENTION: THE “IMPORT TO PROJECT” FUNCTION DOESN’T WORK AS EXPECTED ON UNREAL ENGINE 5.4, 5.5 AND 5.6 (EXPORT FUNCTION DOES WORK AS INTENDED). DUE TO THE ENGINE UPDATE, THIS FUNCTION SAVES YOUR ICONS INTO CONTENT/ICONGENERATOR/MAPS OR CRASH THE EDITOR INSTEAD OF THE CHOSEN “LOCAL FOLDER PATH”. AN UPDATE WILL BE RELEASED AS SOON AS THIS ISSUE IS FIXED. FOR NOW, PLEASE USE THE DEFAULT EXPORT FUNCTION AND DRAG THE EXPORTED ICONS TO THE PROJECT. THANKS!
*Make sure to apply the sRGB fix shown in the video/docs if you’re using the “import” function (it will allow you to save the created icons within the editor).
*NOTES:
- Update 1.01: Added a searchable box function. You can see how it works here.
- Update 1.02: Added a box to change the mesh materials (works with static meshes and skeletal meshes). You can check a preview here.
- Update 1.03: Orthographic camera option, improved pixel effect, silhouette, improved item placement on screen and more, already available in the demo below. You can check a preview here.
- Update 1.04: Added “move camera” using mouse right button to improve precision (WASD keep working for the same function).
- Update 1.05 released: Added foreground option, autosearch for animations (in the animations tab, when a skeletal mesh is selected), ambient occlusion support and settings, more light options.
Assets can be loaded in the following ways:
- Via data tables, where you add assets manually;
- Via specific folders, where you choose the folders which the assets should be searched.
- Via auto search, where all the assets of your project (static meshes and skeletal meshes) are loaded automatically.
You can adjust parameters such as camera position, item rotation, output folder, background, post process, light, etc. (check the images above, the preview video or the documentation for more information). Pure effects may not work correctly with transparent background.
Features:
- Create icons for static meshes
- Create icons for skeletal meshes
- Create icons for blueprints (like blueprints with particles)
- Adjust the background: scale, transparency, color, texture
- Adjust the post process while editing
- Export icons in different formats (you can choose the folder)
- Automatically import icons to the project (works only for power of two textures, like 16px, 32px, 64px etc.)
- Control skeletal mesh animations to make icons from it
- Export icons for all the meshes via bulk export.
(All with or without transparent background)
You can contact us at any time and request that the asset you want be added to the site from the Request Asset section.
