    Engine Plugin
    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.

This plugin allows you to draw any actor on top of everything. There are two BP function to enable/disable draw on top mode. You can call these functions in any blueprint class. It is in the global scope. The enabling function requires three parameters. The active camera component, array of actors to draw on top and the option of including camera actor to be drawn on top. You can use the built-in GetAllActorsOfClass BP function to get the array of CameraActors and use the GetComponentByClass BP function iteratively to get the CameraComponent reference.

Important/Additional Notes:

  • This plugin renders your selected actors one more time after the main render process. So, this adds extra load to your render time. If you select lots of actors this might reduce your render time/performance.
  • The method this plugin implements does not contain global illumination and shadow casting. So, your “draw on top” actors will not have shadow of other objects on them. Also, there is no reflection or other effects on the selected actors. Please see the screenshots and sample video to see the actual outcomes.
