Making a Custom HUD in UEFN

To create your own custom heads-up display (HUD), learn how to use Viewmodel in Unreal Motion Graphics (UMG) and follow this tutorial. These teach you how to create your own avatar backplates and make a custom squad view, including health and shield bars. For this tutorial you'll need:

• Custom UI Material Instances.
• The UI Material Lab texture pack.
• Any textures you want to use as part of your UI materials.

Creating your own HUD means using Creative devices to control the look of the HUD through the HUD Controller device. This provides a way for you to turn off the parts of the default Fortnite HUD you don’t want to use and to add a custom User Widget to the device with your own HUD design.

You can also control the HUD in Verse. See Removing and Controlling the Fortnite Default HUD to learn more.
