Unreal Engine adds procedural UI generator optimized for AAA HUDs

Gaming · 4 min read

The new generator creates HUD layouts that adapt to in-game contexts—minimizing clutter during cinematics and expanding information during gameplay. It produces lightweight UWidgets and LOD-aware assets that scale based on performance budgets.

Designers can specify gameplay rules and the system will prioritize elements dynamically, ensuring critical info remains visible across resolutions and displays. The generator also exports interaction prototypes for testing with actual input devices.

Epic highlighted benefits for large teams where HUD complexity grows with feature sets. The tool promises reduced manual labor and better runtime performance due to optimized draw calls and batching of UI elements.
