Overview
​
As part of the module on 'Tools Development for Technical Designers', I was asked to develop 3 x tools using Editor Utility Widgets in Unreal Engine.
​​
​Working solo and with a timescale of 8 weeks, my chosen tools were a level design kit, a random building generator and a plane configuration tool.
Role​
This was my first encounter with Editor Utility Widgets so some familiarisation was needed.
​​
Lots of research and independent study was required to build on my knowledge and understanding of Unreal Engine Blueprint and get the best out of the Editor Utility Widgets.

Outcome​
​​
Testing sessions were set up to check that the tools functioned correctly and made sense to new users.
​
Using feedback from these sessions, all 3 tools were completed on time and met their objectives.
​
​My grade for this project has not been released yet but is expected in January 2025.
