Is canvas dying out?

Hello there. I am more comfortable with the old HUD-System (/Canvas) than with UMG and I am using it for my current project. So here is my question: Is the Canvas system going to be “deleted” and completely replaced by UMG in the future? Thanks

Hi Braindrain85,

We don’t have any plans to remove the Canvas system. However, UMG is our focus as the main tool for creating HUD’s in UE4, so Canvas will not receive any large feature improvements going forward. It will of course get standard bug fixes to ensure that it works properly.

Cheers,

TJ

Hey TJ. That is ok. I think I’ll write my own features in C++… But it is good to know, that it is not going to be removed any time soon. Thank you!
