This repository is a curated collection of resources for Unreal Engine 4 and 5, targeting game developers, technical artists, and programmers. It aims to centralize valuable plugins, effects, documentation, tools, and learning materials to accelerate development and exploration within the Unreal Engine ecosystem.

How It Works

The collection is organized into broad categories such as Assets, Animation, Core, Database, Exporters, Gameplay, Geometry, GUI, HMI, IDE, Plugins, Libraries, Machine Learning/AI/Vision, Materials/Shaders, Physics, Rigging/Animation, Sound, Source Control, Streaming/Network, Tools, Video, VR, and others. It aggregates links to GitHub repositories, tutorials, and community discussions, providing a comprehensive overview of available tools and techniques.

Quick Start & Requirements

This is a curated list of resources, not a runnable application. Users will need to individually clone, install, and configure the various linked projects. Requirements vary significantly per resource, ranging from specific Unreal Engine versions to C++ compilers, Python, CUDA, and specialized hardware.

Highlighted Details

• Extensive coverage of geometry manipulation, including procedural mesh generation, marching cubes, and spline tools.
• A dedicated section for Machine Learning/AI/Vision, featuring integrations with TensorFlow, OpenAI Gym, and MediaPipe.
• Numerous Material and Shader resources, including compute shaders, post-processing effects, and atmospheric simulations.
• Includes links to community hubs like Unreal Slackers and various Discord servers for support and discussion.

Maintenance & Community

The repository is maintained by aiekick and includes links to several other "awesome-ue4" lists, indicating community involvement and shared curation efforts. Direct links to community platforms like Discord and Twitch are provided for specific topics.

Licensing & Compatibility

The licensing varies greatly as this is a collection of external resources. Users must check the license of each individual project before use, especially for commercial applications.

Limitations & Caveats

As a curated list, the repository itself does not provide any functionality. The quality, maintenance status, and compatibility of linked projects are the responsibility of their respective authors. Some linked projects may be outdated, experimental (WIP), or have specific hardware/software dependencies.
