Nick XS @nickoff.bsky.social · 24/12/2025This is the amount of UI I never knew I needed! The design, effects and transitions are all so sick. I hope one day you do tutorials of how you do this all in unreal 0130

Even change the HUD color during that. (And sooo much code base cleanup.) #CherubDev #UE5 #GameDev 19923183

Was hoping to generate a volumetric material asset, but apparently, you can't connect anything to the Extinction material property... Doing that in CPP isn't worth investing the time for my particular case. 021
