How to configure your Client

Beware, this client example will grant the client ALL PRIVILEGES, this might not be ideal in a Live project but it will be fine for testing/development purposes.

Navigate to your Product Settings in the Developer Portal and click on the Clients Tab

Adding a Policy

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on “ADD NEW CLIENT POLICY

  1. Give your Policy a name
  2. Select Custom policy type
  3. Make sure “User required” is checked
  4. Check all the Features as shown below

Click on every Feature in the list (Achivements in this example) and make sure “All actions” are allowed

Make sure you do this for all Features

Save your Policy Settings

Creating the Client

In the Product Settings > Clients tab, click on “ADD NEW CLIENT

Give your client a Name and select the Policy we just created in the last step

After you’ve saved your client, confirm that it was added successfully as shown below:

Create Transparent Actor Thumbnails

To capture an Actor Thumbnail that has a Transparent background, we need to make a few changes to our Actor Blueprint.

Begin by making sure you have the correct Project Settings setup for your project, you can find these in the “Creating Transparent Thumbnails” document.

When you’ve configured your Project Settings as needed, open up your Actor Blueprint, we need to change each components Rendering Settings. See the example below:

Make sure you enable “Render CustomDepth Pass” for every component that you want to include in the Thumbnail.
