Usage in the Editor

In UE4 editor, you can run UnrealCV command, edit the scene and change the material properties. We show a few examples here using the scene RealisticRendering.

Run UnrealCV Command

While playing the level in the editor, press ` to open the built-in console and run UnrealCV like in the game binary.
