Camera Composition Overlays V2 for Unreal Engine 5

Camera Composition Overlays V2 is a MASSIVE update and FEATURE-RICH version of my previously released Camera Composition Overlays pack! Creating cinematic and engaging imagery with virtual cameras has never been easier. This significant upgrade now includes a dockable editor window with an efficiently designed layout and the following features:

• Fully automated application and scaling of Golden Spiral and Dynamic Symmetry overlays based on your cine camera actor's landscape AND portrait aspect ratios
• Button selection of all available overlays
• Direct selection of ANY cine camera actor in the level within the user interface
• Auto-loading of cine camera actors based on your selection from the level's Outliner
• Auto-assignment of the overlay material to any selected cine camera actor
• Display of the camera's filmback, crop and aspect ratio within the user interface
• Pilot your cameras directly from the interface
• Store and recall of your currently selected camera's position to aid in composition
• Mirror overlay option
• Scale overlays independently on both X and Y axis
• Offset overlays independently on both X and Y axis
• Adjust overlay rotation from 0 to 360 degrees
• Adjust overlay opacity
• Adjust overlay color
• Turn overlay on/off
• Launch the tool from a viewport button, the Windows dropdown menu or the Command Line
  

This tool will AUTOMATICALLY select and DYNAMICALLY resize the included Golden Spiral and Dynamic Symmetry overlays. It will maintain the correct overlay proportions for ALL filmback and crop presets with an aspect ratio between 0.00001:1 and 3.0:1.

NOTE: Ratios less than 1.0 are portrait. Ratios greater than 1.0 are landscape.

The following overlays are included:

• Golden Spiral
• Golden Rectangle (Dyn Sym)
• 1.5 Rectangle (Dyn Sym)
• Root 7 Rectangle (Dyn Sym)
• Root 5 Rectangle (Dyn Sym)
• Root 4 Rectangle (Dyn Sym)
• Root 3 Rectangle (Dyn Sym)
• Root 2 Rectangle (Dyn Sym)
• Center Rays
• Central Cross
• X-Cross
• Grid
• Parallel Line
• Parallel Lines
• Spiral
• Phi Grid
• Rule of Thirds
• Dot Grid
  

This plugin will work with ANY cine camera actor that is added to a level and is an excellent compliment to myPro Filmbacks & Crops plugin for one-click Netflix filmback presets.

PLEASE NOTE: This plugin is intended to be a creative tool. While the Golden Spiral and Dynamic Symmetry are popular composition technique, they are not hard fast rules. Use them as a creative guide and have fun!
