Setting up the project and collecting assets


For this chapter's work, let's create a new project with the following template options:

  • A Blank Blueprint template
  • Targeting Mobile/Tablet hardware
  • Scalable 2D or 3D
  • No starter content

Once the project has been created, open its Project Settings and set the following menu options:

  • Project | Description | SettingsStart in VR: True
  • Engine | Rendering | Forward Renderer | Forward Shading: True
  • EngineRendering | Default Settings | Ambient Occlusion Static Fraction: False
  • Engine | Rendering | Default SettingsAnti-Aliasing Method: MSAA
  • Engine | Rendering | VRInstanced Stereo: True
  • Engine | Rendering | VRRound Robin Occlusion Queries: True

Allow the project to restart once all these settings have been set.

Once the project has restarted, open the File menu and use it to load the previous chapter's project. Just as we did last time, we're going to grab elements that we previously created and carry them forward using the Migrate tool.
