Setting Up a New Project

PreviousInstalling Existent PluginNextCreating your first Map

Last updated 1 year ago

  1. Project Creation: Launch Unreal Engine and create a new project using the “Virtual Reality” template in the “Games” tab. We recommend using this template as it comes with rendering settings suitable for VR, however you may choose a different template that better suits your needs if you’re comfortable adjusting the rendering settings yourself.

  2. Enable Existent Plugin: In order to use the Existent plugin, you need to enable it. With your new project open in the Unreal Editor, navigate to Edit → Plugins from the top menu, search for “Existent”, and check the box next to the plugin, then restart the editor as prompted.

  3. Project Settings: Open Project Settings → Packaging and add “/Existent/UMG” in Advanced → Additional Asset Directories to Cook, as shown in the screenshot below. Finally, set World Settings Class to ExistentWorldSettings (Engine - General Settings -> Default Classes).
