    This product contains a code plugin, complete with pre-built binaries and all its source code that integrates with Unreal Engine, which can be installed to an engine version of your choice then enabled on a per-project basis.

!!!!! UPDATE !!!!!

We have compiled for 5, 5.1, and 5.2 and uploaded to be reviewed by Epic.

We skipped 4.27 due to issues - this worked out well because Unreal does not support submitting of plugins below Unreal Engine 5. If you want a copy please email us and we can share a cloud drive.

Thanks for your patience with the update schedule.

///////////////////////


We created this plugin from a requirement we had from another project where we place actors in front of the camera so the shots line up nicely. 


The editor camera properties are not exposed to blueprints, thus this function library exposes them to blueprints

We hope this plugin will be used as a tool for you to create scenes faster, or as a learning tool of exposing the properties if the editor camera to blueprints.


We expose these functions to a Utility Widget blueprint which you can run in the editor.
