Some Progress

I made some progress with my tool submission. I figured out that using a partial path only works when referencing file and folder names from inside the Python file that gets created for scripts when you use the Python editor script plugin. This means that it wasn't a problem with putting the scripts in a plugin file and not I can submit everything as a code plugin.

So that's exactly what I did. It appears that the submission process is a little different when submitting in this category. Some one looks at your project personally and determines whether its ready to publish based on a clear list of criteria depending on what's being submitted. Everything looks fine but there were a few changes that needed to be made.

I thought that the goggle doc I made would have works but apparently it has to be in PDF form which can't be changed when submitted publicly. The other thing is about getting something from the link to the product page and pasting it into a file in the plugin folder.

I resubmitted it with the changes but it looks like there's a little more that I need to do before its accepted.

I think I'm getting close to finally having my tool up on the Unreal Marketplace so I've check back again to see if this works out. I'm ready to see this tool out in the wild.

Extra Bloooooooooooog

It's been a while since i did one of these. Recently Gamegen have one of it's coder camp events. This time it was about a very useful subject: SHADERS

This is pretty interesting and not something that you would associate with coding but shaders can get pretty complicated. Out teacher showed us a website called ShaderToy with an interface and programing language that makes creating shaders very simple.

We learned a lot of great shader coding approaches including this one that creates a cool animation effect:

Also, we learned how to add pre-made images and video by referencing one of the channels in the shader editor:

It only let's you use default assets right now but i was able to make this funny video with a sin equation that I learned and one of the default videos:

That's pretty much what i have been doing this week. I hope you have a great weekend. I will have some more developments next week and I hope to have something else exciting to show you again.
