Setting up our own test project

As we did with our last chapter, we're going to start out simply by creating a clean project with the following settings:

1. Blank blueprint template
2. Mobile/tablet hardware target
3. Scalable 3D or 2D graphics target
4. No Starter Content

As usual, here's our project settings cheat sheet:

1. Engine | Rendering | Forward Renderer | Forward Shading: True
2. Engine | Rendering | Default Settings | Ambient Occlusion Static Fraction: False
3. Engine | Rendering | Default Settings | Anti-Aliasing Method: MSAA
4. Engine | Rendering | VR | Instanced Stereo: True
5. Engine | Rendering | VR | Round Robin Occlusion Queries: True

 

We're going to set one value differently, however, for this test because we're going to be working mostly in the flat screen to simplify learning this challenging topic:

• Project | Description | Settings | Start in VR: False

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

Adding an environment

Let's give ourselves some environment assets to play with so we're not...
