Setting up the project

For this chapter's project, we don't need anything from our previous work, so we're going to begin simply by creating a new project with the following settings:

• Blank Blueprint template
• Mobile / Tablet hardware target
• Scalable 3D or 2D graphics target
• With Starter Content (we'll use some of the starter content in this one)

We still need to set our settings appropriately for VR, as we do with each project. Here's the cheat sheet:

• Project | Description | Settings | Start in VR: True
• Engine | Rendering | Forward Renderer | Forward Shading: True
• Engine | Rendering | Default Settings | Ambient Occlusion Static Fraction: False
• Engine | Rendering | Default Settings | Anti-Aliasing Method: MSAA
• Engine | Rendering | VR | Instanced Stereo: True
• Engine | Rendering | VR | Round Robin Occlusion Queries: True

Allow the project to restart once all of these settings have been set. Once your project has reopened, you'll be ready to begin learning about how media works in Unreal Engine.
