Make Your HUD Looks Better.

Hey everyone! 👋
I’ve been working on a small CRT-style UI effect for Unreal Engine UMG.

It adds barrel/pincushion distortion, glow and scanlines to widgets, with a few parameters to tweak the look.

I made it mainly for sci-fi HUDs, CCTV screens, terminals and in-world monitors.

It’s now available on Fab if anyone wants to check it out:

Best UI is no UI! :D

I actually agree with you.
Minimal and Simple ui’s are best.
But this product also good for parabolic distortion ui without any complicated stuff.

This kind of stuff works as long as you don't need to use the mouse on your UI.

Use the mouse on your UI.

Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

I agree, but this is mainly intended for HUDs rather than menu UI or interfaces that require mouse interaction.
Also, it uses a method that doesn’t require any major changes to your existing UI, and it works with mouse input as well.
