Using the Viewmodel in UMG

Viewmodel is natively a part of Unreal Motion Graphics (UMG) in Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN). Viewmodel is used to control player information. To do this, the Viewmodel has a number of functions in UEFN.

• Viewmodel provides a way to bind the function of a device to a UMG widget to replace default Fortnite UI elements.
• Provides a way to show materials and textures in UI elements.

By adding materials to a viewmodel you can animate the material in your UI, surround the material in a texture container, or use the material on its own to provide a dynamic flat look to your UI.

The documentation in this section explains how to use Viewmodel to show materials, textures, and set materials.

For a deeper dive into Viewmodel, refer to UMG Viewmodel in Unreal Engine documentation.
