This is perhaps the most under viewed Unreal Engine video. If you use UMG in Unreal you should really give it a view, Adrienne killed it with this! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NHI...

Oh, right. I can just scale up the interface when I need to take screenshots for presentations (or when my eyes get tired). Neat.

Edit > Editor Preferences > General > User Interface > Application Scale.

[ALT] Unreal Engine 5.5 Editor Preferences Menu window and a main UE window behind it, with text and icons scaled up using Application Scale set to 1.5.

bug - something broken in a tech thing
buggy - a way to describe tech that has bugs
bugged - something or some place that has a secret microphone or camera planted in it for spying on people

Whenever I read 'the code/game is bugged,' I get a lil tripped up 😅

📚 NEW article collection! The Epic TDR team was recently set up as an Organization on the Epic Developer Community, so now all of our presentations, demos, articles, and tutorials are listed in one convenient place!! Check out what we've made: tinyurl.com/EpicTDRonEDC

Screenshot of the TDR organization page on EDC. It has a header with the TDR name, then an expanded tutorials section that shows a variety of articles, talks, etc as tiles with cover images. The page also has a panel on the left showing total views, posts, answers, and tutorials by the included members.

This affects RenderDoc, PIX, andany other PC tool that reads shader debug information

Unreal Camille @shedoesartstuff.bsky.social · Jun 5

To get Shader debugging working with RenderDoc as of UE 5.6:
1. Enable shader debug in UE (r.Shaders.Symbols 1, r.Shaders.ExtraData 1)
2. Specify the symbols path in Render Doc (Tools > Settings > Core > Shader debug search paths)
3. Restart RenderDoc

The tutorial builds upon a simple Niagara System in 5.6 to explore the fundamentals of this feature; it's less about the final result, and more about the learnings made along the way!

Unreal Camille @shedoesartstuff.bsky.social · Jun 4

⭐New tutorial published!!⭐ It's an Introduction to Niagara's Scratch Pad system (visual-scripted local modules)! It's about 30 pages worth of text, split into bite-sized sections with lots of pictures. If you find it helpful, please consider dropping a like on the page! tinyurl.com/IntroToScrat...

Here's another little UE tidbit: Hold Shift while expanding a section to expand all of its subsections at once. Same goes for collapsing sections. It's a quick way to control the granularity of what you see in places like the Details panel.

Detail panel in UE 5 showing a Camera Shake Pattern section that's been shift-expanded, resulting in the subsections like Location, X, Y, Z, etc opened fully to expose the parameters within them like Location Amplitude.

Detail panel in UE 5 showing a Camera Shake Pattern section that's been regularly click-expanded, showing only the collapsed subsection names (Location, Rotation, FOV, Timing) without revealing the parameters within.
