[Request]Tool to create Flipbook more easy

Development Programming & Scripting
1

I was thinking…i don’t know if Unreal Engine still developing this or it exist…but would be great if we had a tool that create a whole grid with sequencial images…saving the time we would spend doing it manually in photoshop.

The “tool” that I speak would work like that:

When we open it…he will ask for the number of colums and lines…after that…one button to import textures…and this program detects, by the name, that TEST_0001 and TEST_0300 is a sequence and create a grid.

If that exist…we do’nt even need a new version of BINK VIDEOS…but this is just a ideia… :slight_smile:
** After that…using the Material Editor…we can bring back the video materials to our games and demos**

Thank you! But my original ideia is put a movie like Truman Show…or a youtube channel…inside a material :smiley:

Because is really annoying make grids with 10 lines or more…and with this feature…we can make awesome things really fast!

Oh, i see. There isn’t a built-in tool for that but there is this plug in: GitHub - Ehamloptiran/TextureMoviePlugin: A UE4 plugin that allows you to import and play a movie as a texture

And here you can see it’s forum thread: [Plugin] WindowsTextureMovie Plugin - C++ - Unreal Engine Forums
