Terrain mode is used for manipulation of terrain. Camera mode is default and is the mode in which we navigate the level and select objects. To the left of the viewports we find the mode menu. Texture Density shows the complexity of textures within the scene and how stretched or compact they are.Īctivates the game mode view, which gives the most accurate representation of what the scene will look like in a game. Lighting-only view mode is still useful for looking at lightmap artifacts and compression. It is useful for viewing lighting without the influence of material colour. Lit gives us a more accurate preview of the level but seeing things unlit is helpful if navigation or editing of the level are hampered by light and shadow.ĭetail lighting replaces diffuse and specular color but keeps all other material parameters like normal map, opacity mask, two sidedness, etc.
Next, we can view the scene lit or unlit. There are many different display modes available, the first being “wireframe”, which allows us to see the polygons in our scene without interference from textures or lighting. Orthographic viewports are useful for placing objects correctly in a scene. The P indicates that we are in Perspective view, but clicking it will change between orthographic viewports. Kismet is a tool that allows us to create visual scripting rather than working in code like some other engines, and Matinee is used to create in-game cinematic sequences. Next are the buttons to open Kismet and Matinee. The content browser is where we manage the content in our levels, this is everything from objects to light maps. These buttons open various menus within UDK, starting with the content browser.
The above image shows the transform menu, including tools to select, move, rotate and scale any selection within the development kit.
