2024年11月6日 · In this tutorial, we demonstrate how to embed UMG widgets within the Unreal Editor using the Slate framework, a technique we applied in our Game Log System (GLS) plugin. We discuss the challenges our studio faced, such as the need for a UI that any developer with UMG experience could easily work on.

2022年3月9日 · We'll guide you through creating a new widget, adding it to world space, and enabling interaction using the system keyboard as an example. You can learn more about UMG in the official Unreal Engine documentation. Open the new blueprint and add components from the Palette to the canvas.

UMG (Unreal Motion Graphics) is derived from the UObject hierarchy but aren't Actor’s and is used to create & display Slate Widgets (basically a Unreal Engine friendly wrapper for Slate to work with Blueprint).
