AutoBlend now supports Unreal Engine 4.27 in addition to the existing 5.x support.
The install tool also now validates required project settings - Allow Static Lighting must be disabled, Deferred Rendering must be active, and r.Lumen.ScreenProbeGather.MaterialAO must be set to 0. If any of these are wrong, the tool offers to fix them automatically.
You can get the plugin on the Unreal Engine Fab marketplace.
The plugin has been updated to support Unreal Engine 5.7, enjoy! 😄

Some users recently reported issues where brightness of blended objects would fluctuate.
To resolve this, run this command in your project console:
r.Lumen.ScreenProbeGather.MaterialAO 0
The setup guide has been updated to include this step.
Version 4 accidentally broke backwards compatibility with Unreal Engine 5.1-5.5. If you had issues with the shader material not showing up, please update to this version.

Previously the shader would brighten the image slightly due to not taking exposure into account. This is now fixed.
Additionally you can now fade in the debug view, making it easier to see what is being blended.

The plugin now supports Unreal Engine 5.1-5.6!
Also fixed a small issue with Windows not rendering symbols correctly in the popup.

Performance improvements are out. The shader should now be a lot faster thanks to an optimized edge detection algorithm.
Read the Performance page for more details.
I'll be downgrading the minimum supported Unreal Engine version to 5.1 next.

I'm working on a patch that will improve performance by a lot after some users have reported slowness.
Additionally, some people have requested a backport to Unreal Engine 5.1-5.5 as well as some 4.x versions.
For now I'll be focusing on 5.x only, if I get extra time and it's not too complicated I'll add 4.x support as well.
You can check out the full roadmap here.
Should be ready soon!
Complex blending between objects in Unreal Engine is now easier than ever with AutoBlend. This plugin allows you to blend objects seamlessly using a post-process effect, without the need for complex material setups or manual adjustments.
I'll be taking all feedback, criticism, compliments, hate mail, snail mail, morse code and smoke signals from the community! If you have any problems or suggestions, please let me know and I'll incorporate it into the next version.
