Hiraeth ASCII Art Toolkit provides the necessary components to generate ASCII art effects within Unreal Engine projects. Create retro-style visuals, stylized UI elements, and unique in-game rendering using ASCII character representation.
Key Features:
- Scene to ASCII Conversion: Provides tools to convert images or live Unreal Engine scenes into detailed ASCII representations – outputting text-based geometry instead of shader-based effects.
- Integrated Editor Tool: Includes a dedicated editor utility for generating ASCII art with comprehensive options:
- Selectable Input Source: Choose between image files or live scene capture from the editor viewport.
- Adjustable Conversion Parameters: Fine-tune density, scale, brightness, and other parameters to control ASCII style.
- Character Set Selection: Allows selection from different character sets to vary visual texture.
- Postprocess ASCII Effect: Implement a project-wide ASCII rendering effect via a postprocess volume.
- Object-Based ASCII Material: Apply ASCII materials to individual objects for stylized in-world elements.
- Widget-Based ASCII Material: Apply ASCII materials to UMG widgets for a stylized user interface.
Suitable for retro-themed games, distinctive UI designs, unique visual effects, and adding a specific artistic style to projects.
